BASKETBALL CRITICISMS Helen Pickburn-goaler-goaled reliably throughout the season, but her movements could have been faster. Noela Carr-assistant goaler-only member new to school com- petition, but she goaled conscientiouslY and her dodging was good. Jocelyn Beak-wing-was a fast and efficient attack player, whose interception and jumping were an asset to the team. Judith Robins-centre-combined well with both wings and her passes were well controlled. Kay Valle-defence wing-helped maintain speed in the centre court and her defence work was sound. Pat Stephenson-defence-played steadily throughout the season, but she could make more use of jumping ability. - L.K. , VI. Lucille Kipps-defence goaler-has proved a very satisfactory captain. Her defence work improved throughout the season, although, at times, she was slow to intercept. -S.R. TENNIS NOTES This year has been a successful one both within the school itself and in lnterschool matches. The "A" team, after a closely fought match against Clayfield College, reversed last year's defeat by winning the Premiership for the first time since 1951. The "B" team won its final match also, regaining the pennant lost to Clayfield College last year. Many thanks to the Old Girls who gave us valuable practice in all three matches on Old Girls' Day. Increased enthusiasm has been shown in tennis this year, particularly in the lower school, and practice is not confined to the teams . Further interest was brought about by the int_roduc- tion of lnterschool matches for under 15 years of age . This has encouraged the younger girls to develop their talents, and has _given them an opportunity of playing for the school. In these matches we were successful , and we extend our thanks to Somer- ville House, St. Margaret's and St. Aidan's for making teams available. At present the Interform tournament and School Champion- ships are in progress. Interest is high and we should see some exciting matches before they are finished. Our sincere thanks go to Mr. Moon for his valuable coach- in:5 and advice and to him and Miss Palmer for their encourage- ment of tennis throughout the school. We should also like to thank the girls who helped with scoring and with afternoon teas.
