Men's Basketball

It is not often that Victoria goes to a Tournament to defend a trophy—but it will be happening with basketball. Unbeaten last year VUC again hope to capture the W.T. Basketball Cup.

The team is practically the same excepting an addition in the defence line with Des. Deterte and Peter Tarrant and Fred Duckworth replacing Stan Murphy and L. Crewdson in the forwards.

Backs

Pat Anderson—vice captain—solid in close play, been off with broken hands for a few weeks—O.K. for Tournament.

Brian Beecroft—capt. Wellington A grade rep.—NZU blue—big advantage in height, sometimes erratic with long passes.

Des Deterte—played for CUC last year — Canterbury rep. — named ("player of the week" a month ago) a very constructive player, occasionally dribbles too much.

Pip Piper—Wellington B grade rep.—reliable guard clears ball to forwards well, inclined to slow up game, often to advantage.

Forwards

Noel Hayman—coach—Wellington A grade rep.—NZU blue—brilliant on attack, reliable goal getter.
