FRIDAYS OCTOBER .5,' 1951
Hodkey
Compete with R.OTC
In the fall a young girl’s fancy sometimes turns .to thoughts of
hockey, to-misquote a famous English poet. The. Hotkey; Club,
sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association, though it has
no connection with the Department of English Literature, has
captured the fancy of a great number of the College’s' coeds.
One bright afternoon this fall,
a ROTC drill was being conducted
on Holmes Field at the same time
that a WRA hockey game was
being played.
Wrong End
In the middle of the' game, one
of the officers marched his men
down the center line and ordered
them to halt. Another ROTC
group stopped directly m front
of one of the goalposts. Despite
these tremendous odds, the hockey
team made a goal, right between
the shins of the drilling- men.
It seems that the .officers had
misunderstood their orders and
were Supposed to have. gone to,
the opposite end of the field,
Only Women Compete
About ten. per cent of- the fresh
man women have chosen hockey
for their team sport, during the
first eight weeks. Mildred Lucey,
Associate Professor of Physical
Education and adviser to the WxiA
hockey teams, said that even
though team members receive no
academic credit, increasing num
bers have come out for the sport
each year.
Scotland, England, Ireland, and
the Union of South Africa are
among the nations that play field
hockey. In these countries, both
men and women participate. In
the "United States, competition in
field hockey is limited to women.
