BASKETBALL.

VISIT BY REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS. . Representative basketball teams from fifty miles around—Wanganui, Horowhemia, Bush, Eeilding, andTe Kawau—were entertained by the Manawatu Basketball Association on Saturday afternoon, the idea being to provide return matches on their own ground.

Weather conditions were perfect and the games were played on the Technical School grounds, in Grey Street. Some fine play was witnessed. and the teams were to be congratulated on their excellent knowledge of the technique of the game and for the spirit in which tliev entered into ilie matches. Although Manawatu were not successful in winning all their games the teams compared favourably with the visitors. Miss L. A. Brown, president of the association, welcomed the visitors and spoke of- the advantages of such games in enlarging the experience of the players before going on to the Dominion tournament.
