Outstanding Players.

In spite of being now in Nelson and not having played this year. Erice Overton clearly demonstrated her outstanding ability on Saturday. The way she goes in for the ball and combine with her team-mates is a lesson to the rest of the players. Joy Osborn has Improved In speed and fieldwork and has lost none of her skill on shooting. As the games in Dunedin will be played under 1938 rules Joy's height will again be a factor in recovering the ball under the posts.

The third place in the goal third is still undecided. Olive Castle, a B Grade player last year, shows that she learnt much in the struggle at Mount Cook Courts. Her handling and positional play are vastly superior to what they were twelve months ago. The other possible forward. Glen MacMorran is new to the game, having considerable netball experience as a qualification. She is very quick to learn and unusually accurate under the posts. The final selection will not be made till the team has had a couple of practice games.

Altogether the team promises well. Several girls may consider themselves a little unlucky not to be In the final choice. The selector's work was obviously made difficult by the high quality of the players offering and the rapid development of form in the practices. We may name Diana King. Enid Brond and Beryl Marsh as girls who might have filled places in the team but for the unusually large number of last year's players available and the very high standard set. These girls, together with Durle Maysmor, Moira Wicks and Carol Abraham, will make the core of a if team this year that will win more games than it will lose.
