ea? 'KHSSMQFEQB Aj' 452515 lfxl Wg Q i The girls' hockey team began their season with an unusually large number of gaps left by last year's graduating class. In addition to this impediment, they were further handicapped by the fact that during the first two months of the season the as- piring team was coached by four different instructors. Each successive coach tried to perfect a separate method of playing field hockey. Although each method had much merit, the team tended to lack unity. It was not until the third game, when Captain Jane Hillis scored the two winning goals over Birch Wathen, that the girls began to play as a well organized team should. Lee Taylor won the unanimous praise of her fellow teammates for her able performance as goalie. However, each and every member of the hockey squad did her best to make the season a good one, and although the final tally was not an enviable one, happy times were had by all. Volleyball, a new varsxty sport at H.M.-Lincoln, was in full swing for the first time this fall. Last year's team consisted of a group of girls thoroughly Combined operation Could this be a foul?

'Curses, foiled again!' Three power conference heterogenious in ability and temperament, who banded together to form a team whenever a game was scheduled. This year, volleyball was made a regular varsity sport. Manager Ellie Meiss kept up a feverish correspon- dence with rival schools and Carol Ecker converted hazy hopes into realities by her able captainship of the team. Five games were played in all, only two of which were list. From a mere onlooker's point of view it appears that if future H.M.-Lincoln volleyball teams follow in the 1947-48ers' steps, volleyball will soon become the school's most popular sport among the spec- tators. The 1948 girls' basketball squad had the ingredients of an excellent team. Last year's undefeated record was hard to live up to but the combined efforts of high- scoring forwards, and competent defensive guards, together with Mrs. Proctor's expert coaching and leadership, rendered H.M.- Lincoln an able varsity team. In spite of junior Carol Wagner, who held high scoring honors, and long-armed Ann Gurewich, back- bone of the defense, the team's hopes for mmundefeated season were shattered in mid-season by the much underrated Birch Wathen team. A heart breaking one-point loss to Fieldston was the only other de- feat of the season. Mm-3 09 fe? fr gi' ff 'ld Aw fef' hTX?Qfx x X ff V ,QV -J- Page 23
