HDCKEY The smart crack oi stick against ball is a September song to lure even the Li icst spirits among us . . . Two helJs in almost constant use . . . speak for the universal appeal of Miss Applebee ' s gift to America . . . especially since traveling conditions have once more made possible inter- college games. The gods smiled upon Sweet Briar hockey players this year . . . clear skies and cool temperatures added priceless hours to practice time . . . the appearance of dozens of shining new sticks magically improved our game. A nicely played from Miss Rogers made those hours of stick work well worth while. Capping the season were triumphs for our aces in the Virginia and Southeastern tournaments.
