Harry SeIxas. They are all very handy
with the paddles and each crew won bout.

should meet Philip NJ. and Marion seixas
tonight. Stanley and Claude seemed 10
have the advantage in the final bout until
Stanley overreached and fell into the water.
The Camp Rainbow boys caused lots OF
fun in their bout. The contestants were
