A delightful side trip from Hong Kong was to Macau. This trip became possible because of a one-day delay forced upon us by Chinese Airlines. Macau, with its Portuguese heritage, is at the very edge of the People's Republic of China. Thus, we peeked into China from Macau-just as we had from a point in the New Territories two days While in China, Dr. Geisert climbed along 1he Creal Wall. earlier.

Perhaps our most unique experiences there, quite in contrast to one another, were the noon luncheon, which we had in a very old but well­ preserved inn which dated from the days of the plantation presence of the Portu­ guese, and the visit to the casino, which occupies the basement level of one of Macau's largest hotels. In the latter, I was reprimanded for taking a "tourist's picture" of the proceedings. A great surprise of the trip was to find Dr. and Mrs. Jerry Sullivan of our community having breakfastin the same Furama Hotel (Hong Kong) restaurant and at the next table.

This year's team has nearly 70 mem­ bers which is approximately 20 more than last season.With 33 players having freshman eligibility,Bush has a young team but one that he said is "bigger than we've had in the past." There are six seniors on the squad who Bush said are "doing a great job leading the team on and off the field." According to Bush, the underclassmen look up to the sen­ iors, who lead by example. "All of the seniors are playing and definitely con­ tributing to this team, which really makes a difference," said Bush.The six seniors alternate captain's duties in game situations.

The highlight of the season to date was a 7-2 shelling by the Eagles of Mary Baldwin in a game in which sophomore Carolyn Magee scored three goals for a hat trick. Also scoring against the Squirrels were senior co-captains Christ! Gunn and Vickie Glassman and senior Beth McClure. Magee leads the Eagles in scoring for the second consecutive year, and her nine goals thus far has already exceeded her eight-goal team high of a year ago. She has had two hat tricks. Gunn is second on the team in scoring with three goals through the first eight games.
