Sports Notes.

The crawl kick has come very much into vogue this season, and everywhere one can see valiant efforts to develop this mode of swimming.

GENERAL SPORTS. Our combined efforts in Tennis, Basket Ball, and Swimanming have procured for us once again the Inter-Schools Cup, which we now hold for two consecutive years. We must all see to it that it remains ours for a third time. As Margaret Haymen, who is the best all- round sport, won the Sports Brooch in 1920, it goes this yeai to Jessie Stephenson, but Irene Irvine and Olga Launder were very few points behind her. Our efforts to win the Stephens' Cup were not so successful. It was won by the High School, whose team was decidedly superior to ours. Owing to a heavy storm Just before the sports began, it was decided that the Hurdles Race would have to be abandoned, much to the regret of both competitors and onlookers. Our girls had trained hard under Miss Brockway, and some of them did very well, especially M. Pratten, T. Bird, G. Zillman, and I. Vines. But as a team they were not as fit as those of the winning team. We cannot help thinking that this is largely due to the fact that we have no sports' oval, and could only obtain permission to use the Boys' Turf on the afternoon of our own sports. The girls are very enthusiastic, but unless that enthusiasm can find an outlet on a level sward, the Stephens' Cup is hardly likely to eoome the possession of the B.G.G.S. SWIMMING NOTES. The swimming season reopened this term and was welcomed by all the enthusiasts. The weather has been extremely hot so far, and it is delightful to plunge into the refreshing water for tout half an hour. There is a marked increase in the number of swimmers, and so many lower school girls come that some of them wim with the Upper School to make numbers more even. Lots of them are very keen, and are making great improvement. Next year we should have sev- eral good girls to oboose from if they do not leave us at the end of the year.

"A" SIt4IMMING TEAM. I Sl. STANDINO: J. Stephenson, E. Henley, I. Bond, C. Macdonald. SITTING: M. Park (Captain). Miss Brockway coaches us and we are deter- mined to work hard in building up next year's school team. This is the important term of the season, as our Swimming Carnival is held during the last week of the term. The Bur- rel Cup race is contested by the different forms, which are each represented by a team of four. It is always a race of the wildest excitement, and barracklng is at its height.
