At least 20 KU coeds enjoy playing the field on weekends especially the hockey field.
Girls' field hockey as an extramural sport started in 1965 at KU and has consolidated into the KU Girls' Hockey Club as well as a team.
Any woman may join the club. From this organization the team members are chosen. The team travels to schools such as Oklahoma State University, Emporia State Teachers' College, Central Missouri State College, Pittsburg State College and Sterling College.
A month ago the team played Emporia here and won 5-0.
November 11, KU's team traveled to Pittsburg to compete in a girls' field hockey tournament—and finished the champion again. The women played three games, winning two and tying one. The team downed Sterling first and then tied Pittsburg in the second game.
Winning the third game broke a Central Missouri State's three-year winning streak.
The 13 KU members selected for the Pittsburgh tournament
practiced seven times under supervision of coaches from the KU physical education department. The practices lasted an hour and were held on the fields east of Robinson Gymnasium. Only five of the practices were required by the team's sponsors. The sponsors are Mrs. Harold Blackburn, Mrs. Carolyn Weinhold and Miss Tinnie Tiger.
Mary Domrese, St. Louis, Mo., junior, who was a star of the KU field hockey team last year, is the group's manager and a team coach. She was injured, last semester and currently is unable to play on the team.
Miss Domrese also is the current president of the field hockey club.
The Women's Recreation Association (WRA) furnishes the team's uniforms—a white blouse and royal blue hockey tunic with a Jayhawk on the left.
Field equipment—hockey sticks, balls, goalie equipment and shin guards—also are provided by the WRA.
for the team's lodging, food and gasoline.
In addition, the WRA also gives the girls' hockey team and club $100 for travel expense money during the school year. This pays
Most of the training rules followed by the KU varsity football and basketball teams also apply to these women. The WRA sets up the rules, which say the women must maintain a 1.0 grade point average, have no "T" downslips and no more than two "D" down-
slips, and must not smoke or drink while on a team trip.
If a player breaks any of these training rules she is removed from the club and from the team. Nov. 18 the club held a clinic at Robinson Gymnasium. From 9 am. to noon, Mrs. Kitty DuBois, a member of the United States
Field Hockey Team, talked about tactics and techniques of field hockey. At 1:30 p.m. the KU girls' team played Washburn University and won, 7-0.
In a second game, Mrs. Weinhold's field hockey class played KU juniorms majoring in physical education and won 1-0.
