Basketball.

The Senior A team registered its third successive win on Saturday by defeating Technical College Old Girls by 24 goals to 14.

The defence as usual was the most reliable part of the team, all three defenders playing a fast open

Pixie Higgins, a new-comer to game intercepting well and sending the ball through to the centre.

The team, played exceptionally well in the centre. This third could be improved by quicker hundling of the ball and accurate passing. The weakest part of the team — the goal—showed signs of improvement, although it is not quick enough yet and too many passes went astray. The team shows promise and should give a good account of itself this season.

The Senior B team has been handicapped owing to a scarcity of new players.

Although so far they have not secured a win there is material for the makings of a first-class team. On Saturday they were defeated by Woolworths by 6 goals to 18. The defence worked better with M. McWilliams, although the goal third missed her able services. The centre was a little inclined to crowd, and fumbled the pas off.

In the goal players must endeavour to use three players, not two. Also, they must learn to shoot near the goal and remember that no amount of brilliant fielding on the part of the team can win the game unless the ball goes through the goal ring.

The team has ability and should do well later in the season.
