Last Saturday night saw the
opening of the 1950 Intra-
'Varsity Championship Series.
The Series is being played in
the new home of Basketball in
Brisbane, at the Wool Court,
Exhibition, and with these improved
conditions we should see
a higher standard of play in this
an dsucceeding seasons. Five
games each Saturday night will
provide four (4) hours of
continuous basketball, starting
at 6 o'clock.
Competition this year will be keen,
. no doubt heightened by the fact that
the Inter-Varsity Carnival is to he
held in Brisbane in the first week of
fir55t vacation.
