CONCLUDING GAMES
BASKETBALL TOURNEY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
TIMARU, This Day.
Concluding games in the Dominion basketball tourney were played on an indoor court at the Timaru Boys' High School gymnasium, rain making outdoor play impossible. To enable the tournament to conclude this afternoon spells in. the fire grade were reduced to 15 minutes, each with a five-minute interval, instead of 20-riiinute spells and 10-minute intervals. The second and third grades played only 10-minute spells without intervals. The undersized court crairiped passing movements, and players played with less confidence, resulting in much slower games.
Results were as follows: — First Grade.—Otago 12, Auckland 7; Wellington nl9, Otago 8. Second Grade. —Ashburton 10, Waikato 9; South Canterbury 9, Manawatu 5; Southland 10, Wairarapa 6. Third Grade.—West Coast 9, Wanganui 9.
