N.Z. wins basketball
PA Palmerston North New Zealand's alarming lack of basketball depth was sadly on show in Palmerston North last evening when the Kiwis struggled to beat the touring Californian Biola University side in the second of three test matches. New Zealand’s nine point margin in the 84-75 win was 20 points less than that established at Wellington on Thursday in the first test,
and was caused mainly by the tactics of the coach, Bob Bishop, in giving his less experienced big men as much court time as possible.
When the captain, Stan Hill, and his brother, John, were off the court New Zealand’s offence was rendered almost scoreless. Scores: New Zealand 84 (Stan Hill 32, Tony Smith 11, John Hill 10) beat Biola Invaders 75 (Joe Peron 23, Jason Lopez 13).
