MEN’S ACTIVITIES INTER-HOUSE COMPETITION WANGANUI Y.M.C.A. BRANCH Basketball enthusiasts will this season find an added interest in the men's inter-house competitions due to the nationalisation of the sport. This move has been fostered by the Y.M.C.A. Physical Directors' Association of New Zealand and provides for a national championship competition this year to be held in Wellington on June 6. The Wanganui branch under the new organisation will commence its activities to-morrow, when a practice series will be held in the Y'.M.C.A. gymnasium. At a meeting of delegates representing the local teams already entered, Messrs. F. F. Conder and E. Hamling were elected as representatives to the Y.M.C.A. physical committee, the local controlling body. It has been decided to extend the closing date for entries until after the practice series to-morrow night in order to provide an opportunity for business houses and clubs ot the city to enter in the series. Teams wishing to enter and desirous of being included in the practice series to-morrow are advised to communicate with the secretary, c/o Y.M.C.A. The following draw has been arranged for the practice series:— 7.15 p.m.—Newsome’s, Ltd., v. Thistle Football Club 7.40 p.m.—Woolworths, Ltd., v. Marist Football Club. 8.5 p.m.—Y.M.C.A. v. Technical Old Boys A. 8.30 p.m.—Technical Old Boys B v. Wanganui Division Ambulance Brigade.
