October 5, 1951 THE TWIG Page five Hockey Begins With Veterans Participating The annual hockey season be gan Monday, September 24 with a large number of veterans re porting for practice. Concluding the season, the freshman hockey stick will be awarded to the Freshman who has excelled most in the game. Those desiring this coveted award include Ruby Wiggins, Ann Cashwell, Ruth Allen, Becky Calloway, Joyce Bailey, Jan Rudisill and Rose Dorman. Along with the hockey stick, eleven more awards will go to the players who are chosen as the varsity team. Points toward a monogram are won and fun and fellowship are enjoyed by everyone at the hockey prac tices. The team is composed of five forwards—a center, two inners, and two wings; five guards—a center half-back, left and right half-backs, and two full-backs; and the goalie, who has the task of guarding the goal. The field is lined off similarly to a grid iron with a striking circle at each end and alleys on either side. The purpose of the game is to hit the baseball-size ball into the opposing team’s box-like goal with a hockey stick and all your energy. Practices are every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons from five to six o’clock. Everyone is urged to be there.
