reached the semi-finals of the
100 metres backstroke in the
Olympic Games. But the
number of people entering the
river races was beginning to
dwindle. In 1909 ‘inclement
weather completely spoilt’
the half-mile, while only six
entered for the Holbein
Shield. In 1911, again with
bad weather, it was down to
just three men.
