The senior team ban been moulded into quite a sound combination, and should not be disgraced at Tournament. They have a very strong attacking left side with Rosemary Baird on the wing and Win Penman on the left inner. These two combine well, for while Rosemary has the speed. Win has the stick-work, and between them they make a formidable pair. At centre will be Pam McKenzie a trier all the time, and bundle of energy. Not a showy player. Pam is a team person and should combine well. Janet Young will be at right inner, with Shirley Wilson on the wing. Both are stalwarts of the game, speedy, and with good hard hits. The half line is sound, with Paddy Simmers still playing well at left half. She is a fighter, never gives up and makes any right wing fight hard for the ball. She also feeds her left inner and' wing Intelligently. Audrey Well-wood at centre, although not so speedy, is sound and distributes play evenly. She has a nice hard clear drive and marks the opposition centre well.

Perhaps the half playing most consistently for Varsity is M. Bert rand on the right. She is quick to learn, can roll in well [unclear: vh] either hand, marks and feeds her right side intelligently, besides placing herself in the light place for receiving. She looks a promising player of the future.

At left fullback M. Williamson has some nice stickwork, and with a little more speed would be a hard back to pass. Ruth Kingsford at right fullback la sound, with a good clearing shot, but there again a little extra speed would be a help. Both fullbacks combine well.

Goalie Colleen Leslie has been showing improvement at every game. The other two players are Gill Snell and Janet Mackenzie. Both are honest triers at all limes.
