Basketball

Team.—Forwards: Dorothy Burke, Margaret Beattie, Kathleen Martin, Shirley Webster. Centres: Maxine Dunne, Barbara Moore, Thea Muir, (Captain), Freda Moore. Defence: Norma Henderson (Vice-captain), Avis Reed, Shirley Roberts, Shirley Cole.

In the practices the team has shown considerable promise, and all are looking forward to the matches with enthusiasm and with no little confidence.

One outstanding feature of the team is the inclusion of five Wellington Representatives. Dot Burke from Training College was a Wellington Rep. last year and a Hawke's Bay Rep. in 1943, in which year she made quite a name for herself in basketball circles with her accurate shooting in the N.Z. Association matches.

Margaret Beattie represented Wellington in 1943, Barbara Moore and Norma Henderson in 1944, and Thea Muir in 1942-43-44.

With this combination VUC should fare much better than last year.
