Men

The men's basketball team is somewhat stronger than that of last year. Unfortunately. Dick Walton, through personal reasons, is unavailable and the team is weakened by his loss. However, the team hopes to do well.

Women

The Tournament team this year is of a much higher standard than last year as has been shown by steady progress in inter-club games this season. So for the team has had only one loss and is beginning to work together very Well; Lack of facilities for court practice at V.U.C. has been a considerable difficulty, and it is very unfortunate that there has been such a delay in erecting backboards on the outside court.

The ball handling, though generally improved since last year, is not ye; as good as we hope to see it before Tournament, and there is still a tendency for come players to miss valuable openings by not keeping the whole court in view and by trying to gain ground by bouncing when a quick clean pass would be of more value.

Janet Young, Elaine Foote, and June Lee have developed quite a sound combination and with Shirley Thompson, a very active fourth, make quite a good forward area.

Among the guards, Judith Klisby makes good use of her height and although both Margaret Hunt and Pam Beck are new to indoor basketball this season they are both playing well and should benefit greatly from Tournament experience Judith Allen is the fourth guard.

All in all the team is capable of playing very well and although it promises no more than to do its best hopes to do something, however little, to help put V.U.C.'s name on the map.
