uniors rout seniors in traditional football Reversing another of the traditions broken last year, the Powder- puff game returned to the traditional football game after last year's Almost Anything Goes contest. The junior girls defeated the seniors 14-12 when an attempted conver- sion by junior Laurie Ludwig in the last two minutes of the game was successful. The juniors dominated the game from the start when Janine Mac- Donald returned the first kickoff and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. The score remained 6-o until the 3rd and 4th quarters when seniors Tammy Lane and Linda Zucchero made touchdowns placing the seniors in the lead 12-6. Nearing the end of the fourth quarter junior Michelle Crisanti's touchdown pass to teammate Charissa Hammett was complete and the game was tied. Ludwig's conversion clinched the game for the juniors. The pre-dawn, unsanctioned powderpuff activities were kept to a minimum. There were fewer reports of vandalism, egging and mali- cious mischief than in years past. Stricter rules were set to insure that the risk of injury to the partici- pants were minimized and coaches were instructed to play all partici- pants for at least four downs. In the past many compliants had been lodged about coaches playing only those girls showing keen athletic prowess. The new rules insured that every girl was treated fairly. The teams, coached by male student athletes were drilled in much the same way the varsity football team is drilled. The coaches, aping their coaches, even went so far as to instruct both teams to clap their hands when they walked onto the field in imitation of the varsity football team's missile In keeping with the role reversal other junior and senior male athletes squeezed into the uniforms of the female cheerleaders, styled their hair and put on make up to perform routines as carefully choreo- graphed and well received as any pepster routine. Linda Johnston hands off the ball to teammate Michelle Crisanti. Crisanti eventually was able to complete a touchdown pass to Charissa Mammett to bring the juniors within two points of victory. The juniors won after an attempted conversion by Laurie Ludwig was successful. powderpuff - 153
