Basketball INTERCEPTION OF SHOTS AT GOAL
Favourable Hearing To Request (New Zealand Press Association) NAPIER. May 15. A request that New Zealand basketbailers try out interception of shots at goal was received from the acting-secretary of the World Federation of Women’s Basketball and Netball Associations at the annual council meeting of the New Zealand Basketball Association, which concluded in Napier yesterday. The request received a favourable hearing from delegates. The council’s secretary (Miss W. K. Coatsworth, of Christchurch), outlined the meaning of the rule, which gives certain defenders the right to intercept a shot at goal. Demonstration games are to be arranged at the tournaments at Southland and Nelson this season.
