Mr McCormick is also unable to carry on his duties in training Canterbury’s senior representative team, and Mrs J. D. Cairney will take his place as coach. Mrs Cairney has again been appointed manager of the team. Hard Courts Fund There has been some misunderstanding concerning the allocation of the proceeds tiom the sale of the team name-sheets each Saturday. The money is not used for paying for the rental of the Christchurch East courts, but is set aside to augment a special fund which will, in time, pay for hard courts which will be the property of the Canterbury Basketball Association. Ashburton v. Canterbury The Canterbury team of senior players to meet Ashburton will be captained by R. Cursons, of Awatea. Miss Cursons was very unfortunate not to get into the first team, and is admirably suited to be captain of the second team. The emergency player will be N. Smith, of Technical.
