TABLE OF POINTS
COMMENT ON SWIMMING
(Received February 12, 1 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The unofficial table of points at the Empire Games is as follows:—Australia, 384; Canada, 267; England, 232; South Africa, 130; New Zealand, 112; Scotland, 27. The "Sydney Morning Herald" says the effort of Bob Leivers (England) was the finest long-distance swim ever done in Australia, but the shades of all the great Australian swimmers of the past must have shuddered to see the Australian champions, Biddulph and Ryan, toiling pitifully near the rear of the 1650-yard field.
