Auckland

Judith Penman: Played for AUC in 1955. Exceptional brilliance and remarkable quickness. Gained her selection for the Auckland junior representative trials last season. The coming season should prove to be interesting if Judith continues with the same intense keeness shown last year.

Janet Walking: One of the older members whose steady and reliable play resulted in her selection for the North Island Universities team at faster Tournament last year.

Grace Li: An older member whose record with the AUC team has reached great heights. At her first Tournament, Grace was awarded a NZU Blue and later an AUC Blue for. basketball. Selected for the NZU team which played the Canterbury representatives. Her play is not brilliant—merely steady, reliable,

Barbara Berghan: Agile, steady and keen. She is one of the most promising players; a good defence and always alert. Barbara has good court sense, providing her with the ability to cope with a tight situation. At last year's tournament Barbara was reserve for the North Island Universities team.

Canterbury

Robin Newick: The outstanding forward. A Canterbury senior representative last year when they won the Dominion tournament, Robin has also represented Otago.

Pamela Harris: A member of last year's tournament team, Pam uses her height to the best advantage and when on form shoots with great accuracy.

Ann Sides: A veteran forward whose services were sadly missed last year at Auckland. Ann is a steady though unobtrusive player whose excellent field work should be of especial worth at Wellington.

Deidre Taylor: Deidre has worked her way up from the B team with consistently good shooting.

Judy Bryant: A former Otago representative. Judy's superiod speed, positional play and ball handling will strengthen the centre third immensely.

Sally Page: A keen and reliable centre player, especially strong in attacking movements.

Pat Roskvist: Captained last year's team into second place. Pat's speed and positional play make her a centre to be reckoned with.

Judy Steel: The only fresher in the team. Judy held her own with more experienced centres throughout the trials.

Shirley Nish: Has played in two previous tournaments. A member of last year's South Island team.

Kathleen McHugh: A valuable addition to the defence third, Kathleen has had four years' senior competition basketball.

Rhona Scarth: Rhona, with her heigh and determination, has the makings of a really good refensive player.

Daphne Neutze: A hard-working defence whose tenacity both for ball and for partner costs the opposing side many goals.

Otago

In the forward line is Eleanor Higgins, an NZU Blue mid Otago senior representative last year; and Janette Frances and Pearl Greaney, who also played for OU at tournament last year. With them is a newcomer to Varsity tournaments, Anne Scott.

In the centre. Thelma Harvey and Pamela Butchers from last year's team, have been joined by Hilary Williamson and Adrienne McKenzie, a promising fresher with rep. experience in the Canterbury senior reserve.

A completely new set of defence this year with Molly Temoana, who is showing up very well, Judy Ziegler, a Canterbury Varsity rep. of last year, Joy Ackroyd and Sue Bernau, who has played for the Wellington minor reps.

Victoria

The Victoria basketball team is a young side welded around a nucleus of four players who have had previous tournament experience. These four girls. Eileen Titterington, Valerie Bilham, Kath Sparks and Ann Wesney, all represented VUC at Auckland last year.

Two other members of the team, Judith Davenport and Kath Bedingfield, represented NZU in indoor basketball at winter tournament in Dunedin last year, and are both fast movers and good ball handlers.

A fresher, Rosalind Taylor, was a Wellington secondary school rep. last year. A newcomer to Varsity basketball, L. Smith, played senior A grade for St. Mary's. The other members of the side are all promising young players.
