Basketball

The season started successfully for the Basketball Club by three successive wins at the opening tournament. The team played well together and play was marked by swift, short passes, good defence work, and accurate goal-shooting. The Senior B team were not so fortunate and lost their first match, although their play was up to standard. The goals need practice in shooting and some of the girls are uncertain about the rules. The following week the B team played Wellington College Old Girls, but play was stopped on account of the rain. The team were under a disadvantage in playing short in the centre, but the two remaining centres made a stout effort to keep the game going. The following Saturday Training College B defaulted to our Senior B team, and last Saturday they were defeated by Wellington East Old Girls.

The Senior A team spoilt the promise they had shown of having a good season by being beaten by Wellington East Old Girls 24-9. The passing this time was wild and inaccurate. There were too many long passes and too much dodging about. We have now seen the Senior A teem at its worst, and we look forward to seeing it improve, for there is no doubt that the ability is there. [unclear: his] has [unclear: sli] been proved, for last Saturday the A team won from Tech. Old Girls by 17-14, after a hard game in Wellington's most unfavourable weather.
