Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol 1, No. 12 June 22, 1938

Improved Form

Improved Form.

The game which Varsity played against Poneke on Saturday was one of their best to date. Although the score was against them, the ball was often in Varsity's circle. By the end of the season the forward line will probably have overcome the regrettable tendency to fumble with the ball in the circle and the team will surprise themselves by winning a game. Helen Christie, in the goal, and Joan Bacon and Betty Rider, the full-backs, played well. They did not receive as much support as they should have done from the halves who are not quick enough in getting back after the ball has been in their own circle. Two of Poneke's goals were scored after the ball had been cleared from Varsity's circle into a long unprotected area, the three halves being still on the edge of the circle. 'Varsity's one goal was scored by Geraldine Kean, who played a good game. The forward line combined better than usual and their improved passing to the right was the reason why they got the ball down the field as often as they did.
