TRIANGULAR GALA The Hilton-Michaelhouse-Kearsney Gala was held at Michaelhouse on Wednesday 3rd March, 1965. This competition is still run on a no-points system, allowing everyone, to quote the Rector of Michaelhouse, to use his own method of scoring. Although there is no final result, the sport was enjoyed by all present and we spent a very pleasant afternoon and evening as guests of Michaelhouse — thank you very much. Six records were broken. Kearsney won 15 events, Hilton 8 and Michaelhouse 1, but the competition was much keener than this analysis seems to indicate and the swimming was ofa high standard. DURBAN AND DISTRICT INTER-SCHOOLS GALA The Kearsney Team did very well in the Durban and District Inter-schools Gala which was held in Durban on Thursday, March 4th. This Senior Boys Competition was won by Glenwood with 171 points, with Kearsney second with 155, followed by Westville, Northlands and Mansfield. Special mention should be made of M. Bartlett who won all three under 13 individual events, the Backstroke, Breaststroke and Crawl, and the 4x50 Freestyle. Team (combined under 13 and under 15) for the new record they established. Lindegger was awarded the Derby Cup(200 yds. Breaststroke Open)and both Lee and Paterson won very good races. INTERHOUSE GALA Saturday,6th March It was exceptionally hot on Gala Day and a huge crowd of parents and other spectators turned out. Fortunately swimmers are not affected by the heat and the swimming was of a very high standard,which is proved by the fact that nine records were broken. It is also encouraging that three out of the five House Relay Races were won in record time. Gillingham had it all their own way and won easily with a total of 208 points. Pembroke was second with 104 and Finningley put in an all-out attempt in the Team Races to fi nish very close to Pembroke with 102. The Standards Competition was also won by Gillingham. These points are no longer added to the score on Gala Day(for information of Old Boys). Our sincere thanks to Mrs. J. S. Bertram for so graciously pre senting our prizes and to Mr. Bertram for addressing us afterwards. RESULTS 2LengthsFreestyle{Under13):1.M.Bartlett(G); 2.D.T.Jollands(F); 3. A. A. Gold (P);.
