Womens Hockey

With a N.Z.U. Women's Hockey Team in Australia during Tournament this year it is difficult to predict the strength of any side. Otago, the winners of the Pember Reeves stick for several years, have nine players in this team and naturally there is some speculation as to whether their second string will be able to carry on this impressive record.

The V.U.C. team selected for Tournament is:—J. Scott, R. Kingsford, J. Gumbley. R. Goodwin, B. Major, S. Hekey, M. Lyons. N. Griffin, C. Baird, D. Bremner and J. Arnold. Reserves: E. Beck and J. Duncan.

The team, though not playing spectacular hockey, is very sound and improving with every game. On occasions some stylish movements have been produced and it is to be hoped that these will be displayed at Auckland.

We will be losing only one player to the Australian four—Barbara Saunders, our goalie. Her place at Tournament will be taken by Jo Scott, the "B" team goalie. Janice Gumbley. Diana Bremner, Jill Arnold, Sybil Hickey and Cynthia Baird are newcomers to Tournament All five are playing good hockey. Beverley Major at centre-half is playing excellent hockey. The experience gained at previous Tournaments by Ruth Kingsford. Rae Goodwin. Natalie Griffin and Mary Lyons will provide the solid core for the team.
