Her ability, however, does not end with hockey, as the following week saw her at Palmerston North with the Auckland Indoor Basketball representatives, who beat the favoured Wellington side to win the New Zealand title. Janie was selected for the North Island team to play South Island, and also won a place in the New Zealand team which played the Rest. This was a very great honour for a young player, and we wish her every success for the future. Incidentally, the Wellington team which won the North Island Tournament and was runner-up in the New Zealand Tournament, included two Maori girls. They were Rangi Wallace, an exceedingly mobile roving guard, and Mahi Potiki, who is now reaching the veteran stage, as she first represented Wellington in 1942. Another veteran at the tournament was Mrs Smith, of the winning Auckland team, who was chosen for the Rest against New Zealand, and who must be one of the few New Zealand women to have perfected the difficult hookshot. In the swimming world, Maoris are looking for great things from the brilliant young back-stroke exponent, Moana Manley. She showed excellent promise last season, and we hope that this development will continue this season.
