BAY OF PLENTY CHAMPIONSHIPS

TOMORROW’S FIXTURES The Bay of Plenty Indoor Basketball Championships will be played at the Winter Show Buildings tomorrow, Saturday, October 12, play commencing at 1 p.m. A total of sixteen teams representing Whakatane, Rotorua, Tauranga and Te Puke will take part, and the contests to decide the champion men’s and ladies’ teams of the Bay promise plenty in the way of thrills and excitement.

The last championship staged in Whakatane will no doubt be well remembered by the large number of spectators in attendance. Widely representative teams were matched on that' occasion, and gave the local public their first introduction to “the fastest game on foot.” This year, with all players, and particularly those representing this town, much more experienced in the art, a novel and entertaining day of sport is assured.
