The Tournament Team

The Tournament Team

The team going to Dunnedin will consist of:—
  • Helen Christie, goal-keeper, who has played well during the season. When she has developed her kick, which she is doing rapidly, she will be excellent.
  • Joan Bacon, right full-back, a New Zealand blue, Joan is one of the most reliable players in the team. She plays good hockey and has a useful hard hit.
  • Betty Rider, left full-back, is a keen and promising player. She should develop her stick work and hit harder.
  • Ruth Crombie, right half, can get the ball but should learn to pass it to the right wing. Try holding your stick a little lower down, Ruth, and keep in position.
  • Nancy Bayfeild, centre half, a New Zealand blue. Nancy is one of the mainstays of the team and plays a good game in this difficult position.
  • Barbara Thompson, left half, is not playing regularly this season but played well last year.
  • Florence Chivers, right wing. Plays well when she gets the ball, passing to the right being one of the finer points of hockey that the forward line is still mastering. She should hit harder when she centres.
  • Geraldine Kean, right inner, an experienced and reliable player. If she hit harder in the circle she would score more goals.
  • Susie Sanders, centre forward. Another potential goal scorer, she hits hard and her stick work is good. Pass to the right Susie.
  • Betty Stubbs, left inner, plays very promissing hockey for so inexperienced a player. Read some books on the subject, Betty.
  • Irene O'Donnell, left wing, has improved rapidly during the season. She takes the ball up well, but should centre sooner and harder.
  • Mary Frankish, emergency, could throw herself into the game with a little more enthusiasm. She has yet to strike her best form.

A large muster of players listened to A.P. O'Shea. Rughy Club Captain on Wednesday night in the Gym when he drew spirited attention to the need for improvement in club spirit in certain directions, Players who fail to notify anybody that they are unavailable were singled out for special mention. That the teams are not doing as well as they should is evident, and it behoves club officials to take stock of the position. Frank Kilby was present by invitation and later gave the half-backs some useful advice.

  • I can't imagine what the Duke of Wellington
  • Would say about the music of Duke Ellington.
