WOMEN'S SPORT Maori women may have been slower than their pakeha sisters to take advantage of the independence and scope for initiative which followed the introduction of universal suffrage, but in recent years they have made up much of the leeway. It is in the sporting world that this trend is most noticeable, and if one discounts Rugby football it would be fair to say that our women have been considerably more successful than the men. One of the country's best all-round women athletes for 1953 was a young Maori girl from Auckland, Miss Janie Maxwell. We are told that in the National Hockey Tournament this year she displayed outstanding ability. We are told also, from a most authoritative source that if the New Zealand team which is at present in England, had been chosen this year instead of at the end of last season, she would have had every chance of being included. Miss Maxwell played for North Island in the Inter-Island fixture at the end of the tournament.
