Basketball

Basketball.

This year we are again entering three teams in the Association.

We intend renting a basketball court; at the Winter Show Buildings from 8-9 p.m. on Thursdays, so that we may practice on a full-sized ground. All players should come every week, and, if possible, be out in time to commence play at 8 o'clock, as we will have to be away at 9 p.m. Any girls having lectures from 7-8 p.m. can join in later.

At Tournament our team beat Canterbury (25 18), and Otago (32-11). Neither of the southern teams looked like winning, although Victoria took some time to settle down in the Canterbury match. In the Auckland game a very even fight took place. It was a touch and go as to which team would shoot a goal at time, and Auckland, after a quick rush, managed to score, winning (he match, 27—26.

For the first time Wellington managed to secure N.Z. University Basketball Blues. Mary Line (best goal-thrower) and Lorna Renner (best defence) both won their Blues. Both players were outstanding, and well deserved the distinction.

In view of the high standard of our team, we are looking forward to good results in the Association matches this year (last year we were runners-up), and hope also that the Senior B and Third Grade teams will have a successful year.
