GIRLS' SPORTS To the accompaniment of bruised shins and other hard knocks, the soccer season started with Dorothy Willett as student-head. But most of the girls, glut- tons for punishment that they are, preferred the more humane game of hockey W-more humane, because the players get to Wear shin guards to protect them- selves from the onslaught of their opponents Who are armed with curved sticks. The girls line up their teams, the Whistle blows, and the game starts with the lbully. But what have We here? The Reds get a free hit, for one player was a llittle rough with her stick. The little, hard, White ball Whizzes around the field from center-forward Busching to left-Wing Mottelson, who dribbles down the field until lune Glasser and Barbara Warren steal the ball and start back down the r field. lune passes it to Bonnie Binkley who takes a terrific Wallop, and in it goes : 1 ,-V ll, . for a score! .H In this case we'd hate to be the ball! Busch qot started ci little late, but shell probably be in on the kill. 'Page 117
