Juniors Stun Seniors F lag football? After an 8-OJunior Victory on January 23, the annual Powderpuff game at Madison developed a new look. No longer were fifteen females playing a rigged game on the hockey field. Now there was a glorified night game with announcers, officials, and hairy-legged male cheer- leaders. The crowning of Kevin Smith made the event well worth watching. Spectators filled the West side stands to watch what they thought was a soft game of girls football. But soft it wasn't and the officials were wondering if girls were really playing. It was a harder game to referee than last year's, recalled a second year official, because we constantly had to remind the girls that this was flag football, not tackle! The referees proved their point when Jill Dickinson, the Juniors center, was removed from the game for roughness. Each team easily lost 100 yards for penalties like holding, clipping, and tack- ling. The loss of yardage didn't marr the spirit or drive of the two teams. There was a lot of pride involved in this game because of last years upset, boasted Junior coach David Nellis. Our team knew that the Seniors wanted a two year victory and we weren't going to let them have it. The turning point of the evening was a third quarter, seventy- five yard touch down by Margarett Westgate. The 6 points, plus two extra points for a sweep-right conversion made the 8-0 score difficult to accept for the victory minded Seniors. The Class of '76 did not give up. As the final seconds ticked away. Senior Sandy Warath made several attempts to score on a slot-back reverse. The final buzzer proved the under- i classmen to be a strong team. 240 Powderpuff
