The Athletic Board of Control rented the Sherbrook Baths for one hour every Thursday night during the University term. On peak evenings as many as one hundred and thirty students enjoyed these Free Swimsf' Coaches were Betty McDonald, Aldyne McKinney, Dan McGowan Chead coachb, Jim Nicol, and Colin Fergu- son. Instruction in swimming and diving was given, and exhibitions of the various strokes and dives were per- formed by some of Winnipeg's outstanding swimmers. Classes in life-saving were heldg a men's water polo team was formed, and a men's swimming team entered into a Manitoba Championship Meet. Due to the spirit worked up, a large number of the swimmers, just under sixty to be exact, went into the Interfaculty Gala. Home Economics won the Harris Rose Bowl, after just nosing out a close contesting Arts team. In the men's division, Medicine powerfully stroked its way to victory, winning the Shea's Trophy. Out- standing for Home Economics were Grace Dick and Betty Morton, while Peggy Jackson, Arts, won the women's backstroke event. Chief performers for Medicine were, Coby McCallum, Joe Hall and Colin Ferguson, while Bob McKinney of Science came first in the fifty and two hundred yard free style races. In diving, Betty Morton of Home Economics won the women's championshiipg June Lear of Arts won the women's novice class, and Jim Nicol of Engineering won the men's championship. Out of the seventeen events in the gala, five new records were set, one by each of the following: Betty Morton, Bob McKinney, Colin Ferguson, Arts women's relay team, and Medicine's men's medley relay team. This just goes to prove that there are some really fine swimmers at Varsity, and that they are improving each year. Since almost all these students are undergraduates, great things in swimming are expected for 1941 to 1942. ARTS CO ED NATATORS MEDICALS-INTERFACULTY CHAMPIONS Left to right -Pat.
