This team, which contains seven of the club's very successful senior team, looks to be a well balanced side and will be very hard to be in their championships at Tourney. Although three members of the right side attack were unable to compete, their replacements should prove capable of forming a new and efficient unit. This team recently played a near full strength Massey side and comfortably beat them, 9.0 and this augers well for the Tournament competition.

Among the more experienced members of the team are: Dennis Paget (captain), who is a Wellington Senior rep., C. Leddy, A. Botting—both members of the Wellington Senior rep. team, and C. Wallis, a member of the rep. squad.

The younger and more promising members of the team include: J. Spoonby, D. Knox, D. Meads, W. Williams and K. Purchase.

This appears to be the strongest Vic. team for some years. It has been promoted to senior status in the local competition and despite the handicap of having no "name" players in the team, and the enforced spell of team captain, nine LePage, the team has done quite well. The tougher competition it has had in these games should stand it in good stead for the Tournament games, and wit Miss LePage able to play once ire the team should do well.

Besides Miss LePage (who was a ember of the N.Z.U. team in Australia last year), the experience in the team is provided by Caroline White, "he most prolific goal-scorer in the team and a Wellington provincial rep. in the Reserve team. Pat McColl who has transferred to Varsity this season, is another Lower grade rep. and adds to the experience of the team.

Newcomers to the team include: Judy Hamilton (another recent transfer to Varsity), Gail Couper, Vera Marks, Imogen Willis, Katherine Brooker .and Lynne LePage. We wish the team well in its efforts and feel sure that this team will not come back with the wooden spoon.

The team is: Janine LePage (capt.) Rosemary Atkinson. Katherine Broker; Gail Couper; Donna Davidson, Margaret Hall, Judy Hamilton, Jacks Jackson, pat McColl. Vera Marks, Caroline White with Lynne LePage and Imogen Willis as reserves.
