Y., and Adelphi. Returning with two previous years of experience was the high-scoring center of the Seahawkettes, Barbara Helmke, as well as the veteran defensive star, Captain Lucille Brown. Playing next to Barbara, at left forward, was Mickey Schmidt, while the offensive center position was filled by Barbara Kayser, the squad's second high scorer. Defensive chores were assumed by regulars Jane Marsden and Erica Uhl, newcomers tp the club, while Jean Vetterlein, Alberta Rayner and Joan Ziegler were the reserves. Bunny Clausen, another returnee from last year's unit, con- tributed a good share to the female Green Wave offense. Victories were racked up against St. John's University, St. Joseph's, Rider College, Queens, and Equitable Life Insurance, as the girls won five games and dropped a like number. Il5 EIL-Q H '
