Coach Jane Markert instructs Lori Gordon
Field hockey team needs solid defense
By KELLY SCOTT
"Do you know any rich people?"
**coach Jane Markert smiled and continued to pore over a schedule and a packed team roster of her University of Kansas women's field hockey team. The schedule had been slashed. So had the team's budget.**
Equipment ordered in the summer was more expensive than it was expected to be. Field hockey is one woman's sport that must cut back. On match day, players can get a trip to Colorado has been marked tentative.
But Market'ter team nevertheless begins the regular season next week, after an alumn scrimmage.
SENIOR MARIE FAUST and sophomore Nancy Lambros are coceptants of the 25-member squad. Both are returning forward line players and are on partial scholarship.
A total of 19 members returns from last year's 10-2-4 squad, which tied for the state title.
"If we can get in the circle, we can score," Markert said.
in field hockey, goals can be made by five for-
line players who must stay in a semi-circle near the goal.
Faust, Lambro, the Alec Wagner, and Peggy Buffield are four starters who comprise what make the Lakers a solid team.

KU was strong on defense last year, Markert said. However, after the loss of second-team All-America Ann Hartstein, the team must rebuild its defense if offense is to have a chance to score, Markert said.
Linda Nohe battles for possession of the ball in last Friday's scrimmage.
"LAST YEAR NO ONE scored against us until our sixth or seventh game," she said. "Our season this year is going to depend on how fast our defense comes along."
Beth Liewellyn played the backfield with Harsen last fall and is the only experienced returning
"I think its going to陷深 to field hockey" he said, "and will encourage the development of the sport in the city."
Field hockey will be played on a regional and national level this year, for the first time, to determine the national Association of International champions. Mackey is in the regional coordinator.
Any team from the Midwest that makes it to the nationals will have a hard time agist eastern teams.
SOME GIRLS TRYING out for the team here have never played field hockey before. But players from many eastern schools have been playing since grade school, she said.
Markert said no field hockey was taught at the Lawrence high school or the Kansas City area public schools. Sunset Hills and Barstow, private schools in the Kansas City area, have good field hockey training, as do many St. Louis high schools, she said.
The trouble is, Markert said, few of those experienced plains come to KU.
Markert said she hoped to have her scholarship selection more organized next year to send information to women who are asking about financial aid.
It will be a long time before midwestern teams are able to compete with eastern teams, Markert said.
SHE SAID IT WOULD be nice to coach experienced players rather than teach basic skills to the team. But the experience she tries to offer team members is more than a win or lose decision.
"Really, whenever you coach, you teach," Mark said. "Actually, the beginners can pick up a lot of stuff."
KU and Emporia Kansas State College are the only colleges in Kansas that have field hockey teams. The winner of their two-game series will play at the national tournament Nov. 14 and 15 in Lincoln, Neb.
A new tie-breaking procedure has been adopted for the KU-Emporia games. For the past three years, KU has won here and Emporia has won there.
A special timer will record the time that the ball is in each team's attacking zone of the field. If each team has a game, or if the tie, the state winner will earn that team that was in its opponent's attacking zone for the longest time.
Deadlines for entries in intramural men's and women's tennis and women's kickball are due 4 p.m. Thursday. An entry fee of 50 cents is charged in all events. Participants must sign a medical permit to play. Intramural competition begins Sept. 15. Entries should be turned in at the recreation services office, 208 Robinson.
