Basketball — Auckland Girls Win
Basketball
Auckland Girls Win
The women's indoor basketball proved a triumph for the team from Auckland, which was unbeaten. Otago were second, and Canterbury third.
Auckland kept up a vigorous and confident attack in all their games, and the captain. Judy Johnson, at centre, played extremely well to earn the captaincy of the N.Z.U. team. M. Moi Moi was very accurate in her shooting, and along with P. V. Kania and R. E. Miller, made the N.Z.U. team.
The Otago team, although they lost to Auckland, proved better than the teams from Canterbury and Victoria. L. Orbell and J. Morgan were the two outstanding players in the O.U. team and won selection for the N.Z.U team as did their team-mates M. Sharpies and K. Vial.
Canterbury and Victoria, with their weak and unco-ordinated attack, could not measure up to the pace of the top teams.
