In many ways, the profession is something that has been left untouched by the Women's Liberation movement. Gnly in recent years have female athletes been condoned and appreciated. One group of female athletes that is most definitely condoned and appreciated by its peers is the softball team. Its members practice four days a week after school with vitality equal to that of professionals. These practices are long and hard but are necessary. Only by practicing has the team established and reached its goal of quality and consistency. sf' What goes up, must eome down is an old and very truthful saying, as Beverly Williams most certainly knows.
