FIELD HOCKEY: ONE FOR THE GIRLS
Sirs:
It was wonderful to see such a fine spread on girls' field hockey (SI, Oct. 7). It was perfect in every way, showing one of the best school girl teams from the area where hockey took its foothold in the United States. We were very pleased to see recognition given to a sport enjoyed by thousands of girls all over this country every fall.
