THe word has been fixed; it's w i c k e t in the list of books just added. Sue, in croquet, a wicket is a metal upsidedown U. (I googled to be sure I remembered correctly and found out it's also someting used in the game of cricket). I also found out that 6-wicket croquet is the most popular tcommonly played at clubs in the U.S. I seem to remember playing with 10--3 on each side, 2 at the beginning and two at the end. One hits a wooden ball with a wooden mallet through wickets in a certain order and finally through the last two wickets to hit a stake behind them. The first person to do that wins. It's harder than it sounds, especially since someone else can hit your ball out of the way, or your ball can hit the side of a wicket instead of going through and be in a bad position. One occasionally sees the game played in movies involving upperclass 19th-century English people. Cindy --- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
