Basketball Notes.

Last week's practice was the best-attended practice of the season, and we felt that, despite the fact that I. Morice would not be available, we had a good chance against Wesley.

The first spell of Saturday's match was fast, but the play was not good. Passes were low and long and often badly directed, and both teams seemed over-keen. Wesley's forwards, all of whom were tried in the representatives, played well, and the half-time score stood at 10-4. In the second spell both teams settled down and the standard of play improved greatly. V.U.C. managed to keep the ball in their forward third most of the time, but we could not lessen Wesley's lead. K. Wood. playing for the first time for some months, took I. Morice's place in goal, and although usually a centre, she played well and pluckily. She was unfortunate in having an opponent nearly twice her size. J. Grainger played her usual speedy and reliable game. In the second spell each side scored five goals, and the final score was 15-9.
