SWIMMING CHAMPIONS
FOUR AUSTRALIANS COMING Four of Australia's leading swimmers have accepted an invitation by the Mount Eden and North Shorn Amateur Swimming Clubs to compete in Auckland, and probably elsewhere in New Zealand, early in March. The champions coming are Carl Phillips, Victor Besomo, Owen Griffiths and Frank Griffiths. The main purpose of the two Auckland clubs in bringing over Phillips and Besomo is to match them against the brilliant 16-years-old North Shore swimmer, Noel Crump. More over, the four visitors will race against such well-known Auckland stars as G. Bridson, the national senior sprint champion, and R. Frankham. The Australians have an imposing list of successes in championships and their appearances in Auckland will bo eagerly awaited. Owen Griffiths, who will art as manager of the visitors, is already well known in this city, as lie was here with the Empire champion, Noel Ryan, three years ago.
