FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to a lacrosse stick head, and, more particularly, the present invention relates to a stick head which is made up of two separate pieces. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Lacrosse was one of the many varieties of stickball games being played by American Indians at the time of European contact. The game was distinguished from the others, such as field hockey or shinny, by the use of a netted racquet with which to pick the ball off the ground, throw, catch and convey the ball into or past a goal to score a point. From these simple beginnings the sport of lacrosse has grown tremendously. [0003] The ancient sport has survived centuries of change and development with very little changes to either the equipment or the rules. It is still played with a stick with a head at the end of the stick having a net affixed thereto. The stick has undergone development from wood to laminated wood, synthetic material and even metals like titanium or aluminum. The crosse or lacrosse stick has a shaped net pocket at the end. The pocket has to meet certain size restrictions. There are various shaped net pockets that are used for different applications. For example, there is a pita pocket that works best for attack men and middies who like lots of whip and need ball control. Other typical pockets are corner pockets, hard mesh pockets, perfect pockets, 9-piece mesh pockets and goalie pockets. Each of these pockets provide a different advantage. Some have little whip, others are good for playing in wet conditions, others have no whip and hold the ball tightly in one spot in the pocket. [0004] Generally, the pocket is affixed to the lacrosse head by means of laces that fit through openings in the lacrosse head and secure the pocket to the head. The lacing of a pocket to the lacrosse head generally requires considerable time. Thus, many lacrosse players own several sticks which have different pockets attached to the heads of the sticks so as to be ready to use a different pocket when necessary. Since sticks and heads are relatively expensive players can have hundreds and hundreds of dollars invested in different sticks which can make the sport a rather expensive sport in which to participate. Prior to the conception and development of the present invention the above usage of multiple sticks and heads was quite a common and expensive practice. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] The present invention provides a head for use with a lacrosse stick and a lacrosse pocket. The head comprises a first member having a first predetermined shape, such first member having a pair of opposing side walls which have a first end of the pair of opposing side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a traverse wall joining a second end of the opposing pair of said side walls opposite the juncture. A socket member is disposed at the juncture end of the first member for engaging a handle of such lacrosse stick. There is a second member having a second predetermined shape, such second predetermined shape being complementary to the first predetermined shape. The second member being removably engageable with the first member. A plurality of apertures are disposed around an upper surface of an inner periphery of the second member for engagement with a pocket member. There is a first means disposed at a juncture end of the second member for securing the second member to the socket member and a second means engageable with the socket member for securing the first member to such handle of such lacrosse stick. [0006] In an alternate embodiment of the invention there is a removable member engageable with a stationary member attached to a lacrosse stick, such stationary member having a predetermined shape, such predetermined shape including a pair of opposing side walls having a first end of each of such pair of opposing side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a substantially traverse wall joining a second end of such each of such pair of opposing side walls opposite such juncture. The removable member having a predetermined shape which is complementary to the predetermined shape of such stationary member. The removable member comprises a pair of opposing side walls having a first end of each of the pair of opposing side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a substantially traverse wall joining a second end of each of the pair of such opposing side walls opposite the juncture. There are a plurality of apertures disposed around an upper surface of an inner periphery of the removable member for engaging a pocket member to the removable member and a means disposed at the juncture end of the removable member for securing the removable member to such stationary member. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0007] It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a lacrosse stick head which is comprised of two parts, a first part and a second part. [0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse stick head in which different pockets can be attached to different first parts which can be interchanged with the same second part which connects to the stick. [0009] Yet, another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head comprised of two parts in which the changing of the firs part is done quickly and with a minimum of effort. [0010] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head comprised of two parts which is economically feasible. [0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head comprised of two parts which can be adapted to be used with present sticks. [0012] In addition to the various objects and advantages of the invention which have been described in some specific detail above it should be noted that various other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those persons who are skilled in the relevant art from the following more detailed description, particularly, when such description is taken in conjunction with the attached drawing Figures and with the appended claims.
