Men's B.B.

The last few weeks has brought fair success to V.U.C. teams playing in the local competitions.

The A team were beaten by Barons and Marist and won against Taxes. The defence has been well improved, in particular Beecroft and Deterte have been doing some solid work. The forward line has been weak, but Moral remains a steady shooter.

The B's unfortunately lost to Kil-birnie Gym. but have made up for it in trouncing Karori. They still have a chance of winning their grade as they are lying a close third. Tarrant and O'Keefe have been doing a job in scoring most of the goals, with Hicks in able support.

The C's again lost by one point against Wizards. The score was even at full time but they lost on one penalty goal. The main trouble is too much fouling and bodily contact by our team even though our play is improving. Barclay and Hutt seem to be the biggest offenders.

The D team is shaping well, and have an even share of wins and losses. They certainly should be able to give the C team a fright.

At the special Basketball Shield Competition at the Sports Centre on Saturday night. Varsity had a wonderful win against Marist last week. The team playing on Saturday nights is Tournament (unable to be deciphered) team and has been going well. Des. Deterte was named Wellington No. 1 player of the week, for his brilliant guarding and court craft. Beecroft and Tarrant did some fine shooting.
