WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIPS

The results of these Championships will be appearing in the Northern Notes, but I would love to have seen the match where B. Anderson did his 300lb. THC and Jerk to win on weight. I am told it was a match well worth watching. The rest of the reports are very promising.

W. RIDING OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

A FINAL reminder about the B-w., Lt-wt., Lt-Hvy-wt., Hvy-wt. Yorks. Championships to be held at Leeds this coming Saturday, February 20th.

Too late now for entries, but not too late for supporters.

The remaining classes of the Yorks. Fth-wt., Mid-wt., Mid-hvy-wt. will be held on March 13th (Saturday) at the King's Commence Hall, Fountain Road, Hull.

2 p.m. Refreshments, etc.

Details, etc., Harold Fitz-John, 83 Selby Street, Hull, Yorks.

No Lancs. championships this year and a little doubt about N. Counties. I am hoping to stage some of the latter in Manchester, but there is, as yet, some doubt.

Anyone wishing to establish totals for selection for British championships should apply to their nearest referee. Usual procedure for selection of local and County champions will be adopted.

I feel deep regret about this seeming loss of enthusiasm in the area and hope we have more success with the Strength Set later in the year.

Here are the results of the Yorks. W.R. championships held on January 16th, at Leeds.
