Basketball.

With Tournament in wellington this year, the Basketball Club is more anxious than ever that the V.U.C. team should meet with success. Although the team has not been definitely chosen, the selectors are confident that the players available are well up to previous Tournament standard. the hopes of the team, however, cannot depend on individuals, and as yet, enough has not been seen of the prospective team in action to judge of its merits.

The possible member of the team are as follows:—Goal, Janet Grainger-a quick, steady and enthusiastic player who should make a useful member of the team. Marjorie Gibbons: a useful forward and a good shot, but inclined to be rather retiring. Eve Irwin: a reliable forward whose play would be improved if she were quicker. Pat Edwards: quick and useful, but lacks experience, tactics and teamwork. Centre: Nora Mc-Laren, a steady and reliable player who is always "on the spot." Margaret Pilcher: quick and dedepridable; more attention to team tactics necessary. Dorothy Graiager: a very promising player requiring only more experience. Sheila Fraser: combines well and is keen, but would be better if quicker. Jean Roberts: quick, but rather inexperienced. Defence: Marion Bell: a good and enthusiastic player who interecpts well. Marie Walker: a promising defender who does good team work. Erice Overton: a versatile player who interecpts and "sticks" well. Muriel Lancaster; keen and reliable but a trifle slow.

The success of the team depends a great deal on practices, and girls who are anxious to play for Tournament would be well advised to attend these regularly. However brilliantly individuals may play, the chances of a team rely almost entirely on combination and team team work. These are ensured only if players are keen enough to attend praetces.

With adeuate team work the V.U.C. basketball team should do well in the coming Tournament and the Tournament Team should form a good base for Association matches later inn the season.

It is hoped that the opening of the Training College will not interfere with the well-being of the Club, and that students of both institutions will co-operate to the best purpose.
