Ladies' inside-forward as the Interport right- winger, may, in the eyes of the Interport Selection Committee be justified, but on yesterday's display in an unaccustomed position she would hardly have qualified for another trial The left-wing position went to Miss Westcott, who, although she possesses speed and power behind her shots, has no ball control whatsoever.
