Last week the schedule for the KU field hockey team was labeled "tentative" by Coach Diana Beebe because she did not play, so either she would have 15 players for a team.
But 20 women showed up for Tuesday night's organizational meeting allowing Beebe to start confirming her schedule.
The team started practice at 5 p.m. yesterday in front of Allen Field House. Future practices will be on the fields at 23rd and Iowa streets.
"We had a great out-turn," said Beeeb.
You never know what to expect. As a new freshman or transfer student on campus, you don't always pick up everything

insurance, the difference between a club sport and an intercollegiate sport and some of the rules of field hockey.
Beech said she was considering asking a $50 membership fee for each player, but learns more toward a $10 fee. This means that players will have balls and to put numbers on the backs of the team's uniforms, which is a new requirement year for tournament play, Beech said.
The team also discussed the possibility of going to the Sectional tournament at the end of the season in November. In sectional, but only individuals who are judged to be good may advance past the first game. If a team enters, the best players are put by judges on the bench and are put into a new group for another game.
BEEBE, WHO thinks of field hockey as a team game, said she would prefer not to go to sectionals.
"But if you think you are good enough and want to go, I will take you to it," she told her players at the meeting.
However, Beebe did indicate the decision was up to the team.
"We would give out trophies and everyone in the tournament would go as a team," she said. "I would prefer to do that."
As an alternative to the sectional forms, Asan bebe said that she might get back to her team in a same way about sectionals, and have a tournament at KU for teams who prefer to play the regular game.
"The most important thing is to enjoy what you're doing and to get the most out of it," she said.

At Lawrence Open School we're very curious.
About knowledge. About learning. About nature.
About peers. About ourselves.
We believe children learn best when they are curious. Whether it's learning how the wind blows or why 2+2-4. (That's right. We teach basics, too.)
In fact, one of the reasons we send our children to the Lawrence Open School is to preserve their curiosity. We believe that the process of learning is just as important as what is learned.

Collegiate sports are not always the end of the line for University of Kansas athletics. From Joan Loake to Nolan Cronenwilly, many KU athletes know the bitter sweet emotions associated with the game.
Until now, many imagined these athletes as strapping, muscular men with large biceps. Shelley Sinlar, Julie Woodman and Kelly Kipshs, KU graduates and members of the Edmonton, Canada, Showbird club, have helped delo
Sinclair, Woodman and Phipps said they had made the transition from college to professional softball with relative ease.
HOWEVER, BOB Stanclift, KU softball coach, said he wasn't surprised it was easy for them.
"I think that the girls expected the level of play in the pros to be greater than it is," Stannick said. "But professional softball is often developed at a high level and develop a high standard of quality."
Similar, one of only two pitchers on the Edmonton team, pitched half of the game in four innings, including a number of shutouts, including a 2-0 blink of a Connecticut team that is playing St. Louis for the league title. Not only did he have the advantage over the game's premier pitchers, Joan Joyce.
Shelley Sinclair
"That Connecticut game was the biggest thrill of the season." Sinclair said.
That game was one of only a few bright wins. The team finished fifth out of six teams in the league. However, those standings can be deceptive for Edenton because it is a first-year team with an average of 14 points per game.
"Softball is really big up there," she said.
SINCLAIR SAID she was surprised with the Canadians' knowledge of softball and by their enthusiasm.
Since the pre softball season lasts only to the summer, all three women will need to play as well as the winter. Phillips will use her busidery to manage a sporting goods store in Canada, while Sinclair and Woonman will take jobs as assistant softball coaches at Oklahoma State.
The women aren't the only ones to benefit from their success in the pro ranks, Stancliff said.
The women will return to the Snowbirds next year.
" Their success helps帮我 and the KU softball program because I can tell recruits that three former KU softball players are now playing pro ball," he said. "That is very impressive to recruit, and with our tight net we need all the help that we can get."
"We are a young team and we should do better next season," Sinclair said. "This year has been a dream come true for all of us. I just hope that women's softball will catch on and someday she the popularity would grow." But once the league management solves the financial problems that it is now having the way to go up."
