24 SAMARA House matches will be started very soon and the competition for the Inter-House Basketball Cup, which was won by Keller last year, will be very keiejn. We played a matcji against the Old Girls in the fall and both our teams won by a Mg margin. We are looking forward to playing them again soon. The teams are as follows: — First: E. Southam {captain), E. McClelland, B. Fleck, for- wards; D. Leggett, M. EUfeworth, B. Hampson, B. Norsworthy, centres; E. Clark, P. Spendlove, guards. Second: Was mostly contained in the first at sometime or other. We add: — M. Leathem {captain) forward; V. Inglis, centre; P. McLaren, M. Crocket, M. Boal, guards. TEAM CRITICISMS Ethel Southam, Captain. — Was unfortunately absent from most of our games, but is back to form now for the House Matches. E. Clark. — Has proved a capable and active guard throughout, and done much to keep down scores against us. E. McClelland. — Is one of those strong silent people who rise to their best game when the team most needs them. Her steadiness was the saving of our morale in the Hatfield game. D. Leggett. — Was changed from attack to guard this season, and did not like it at all at first, but was gradually reconciled and has proved since that it was a wise move. She has been much steadier than she was last year, and is indefatigable. P. Spendlove. — Has played splendidly throughout the season. She combines excellently with Eleanor, and makes the most use of her height and speed. B. Fleck. — Played in the second team at the beginning of the season, but made the first teatn later. She cannot recover from a bad start but ' Vhen she is good, she is very, very good . B. Hampson. — Has beteti very agile on many occasions. Her passing and combining have improved considerably. B. Norsworthy. — Has been steady throughout the season in the centre of the field; she is a very good shot too, though she had some bad luck in matches, but she has an unfortunate habit of aiming badly in matches — but only in matches. M. Ellsworth. — Was absent through illness from September tb February, but promises to be as ' unguardable ' as ever in the Spring House Matches. 2nd Team Was mostly contained in the first at some time or other. We add:— M. Leathem, Captain. — Has been steady and her shooting has improved considerably, but she needs more speed. P. McLaren. — Has done yeoman service in a variety of places. She is still rather slow off the mark, but her passing is reliable. M. Crocket. — Is rather slow to start at times, but is quite speedy when fully roused to action.

? There ' s a browny little fuzzy now at school! You cannot think how quaint and queer he he; He runs around the place with his funny little face And does he like a jolly cup of tea! This fuzz is full of tricks and playful ways, And his ' Missus ' just adores him you can see; Now I know you ' ll never guess, who is this precious presh, My itty Wee! With apologies to Rose Fyleman.
