Women's Hockey

Prospects for Women's Hockey are rather brighter this year, although the club membership is still small. Regular play does not begin till next term, but practices in the Gym, on Monday nights show that some of the newcomers will prove useful members of the team. Moreover even the in-experienced ones appear to be enthusiastic and, under the paternal guidance of Max Christie and other members of the Men's Club, have begun their training by nocturnal running round Kelburn Park.

Only five of last year's team are playing this year, but fortunately several old V.U.C. players have returned to the fray. With Vesta Emmanuel as half-back, and Betty Fraser and nettle Stubbs to strengthen the forward line, we have the nucleus for a fair team. The full-backs are an unknown quantity as yet, although, among the freshers, Winifred Tow-good shows promise of being a dependable player. Margaret Wallace, a former, C.U.C. player, is a welcome addition to the club.

If the number of beginners is sufficient, it may be possible to enter a Junior as well as a Senior team in the Saturday games. Any other students who wish to learn to play hockey should leave a note in the rack for the club secretary. Betty Rider.

There will be a practise for all players on Saturday, 29th. Watch notice board for further announcement.
