Mr Joe McLeod, the executive officer of the New Zealand Basketball Federation, said yesterday that Mairehau, of Christchurch, would be the replacement team in the tournament. The
, new reserve is Naenae, of ■ Hutt Valley. i Mount Wellington’s defec. ; tion was caused by the nonavailability of four leading i players. The national representatives, Stan Hill, Stu ; Ferguson and John van ’ Uden, had prior work com- ■ mitements, and Tony Smith ; will not be back in New Zealand from the United ’ States, where he has been ! playing college basketball, s until after the tournament
