Battle of the babes wn a very cool Oct. tenth, the third annual pow- derpuff football game began with the senior ladies heavily favored. Although the sen- iors did get a run for their money, the experience gained last year carried them to a 36-20 victory, keeping the seniors unbeaten in all record books. After winning the toss the seniors, quarterbacked by Shelly McNabb, scored on an eighty yard drive. Lisa Pelkington made the touch- down while Tina Carpenter passed to Pam Swihart on a halfback option play for the two point conversion. Touchdowns by Darlene Moser and Tina Carpenter ended the scoring for the seniors in the first half. A seventy yard dash by Jenifer Jennings was the highlight of the first half for the juniors. Another junior score seemed eminent when quarterback Kelly Warren handed off deep in senior territory to Deanna Stewart. After Deanna fumbled in the endzone, senior Debbie Elkins scooped it up for a touchback. Pam Swihart opened the second half with a score for the seniors. Laurie Crance and Amy Gibbons recorded the two final scores for the juniors. In the final seconds of the game Shelly McNabb handed off to Tina Carpenter who burst into the endzone as the clock ran out. The final score, 36-20, broke the previous individ- ual senior team total of 26, set in 1978. The combined score of 56 also broke the old record of 26. The referees for the game, all seniors, included Butch Oliver, Mike Vickery, and the powderpuff king crowned at halftime, Stuart Roth.

Finale to a spirited week Uespite the chilly weather, nearly 2000 fans watched the Chargers humil- iate the Woodlan Warriors at the Homecoming game by a score of 26-0. The game, finale to a fes- tive week, included a brand- new feature which brought a sense of nostalgia to the crowd. The 1969 football captains, Kerry Ambrose and Tom Fabian were present at the coin toss which opened the game. The action began as the alert Chargers capitalized on a Woodlan fumble that led to an early touchdown. When the Warriors controlled the ball, Carroll ' s mighty defense continued to apply pressure and caused another fumble. The Chargers dominated both offensively and defen- sively giving the Warriors lit- tle opportunity to move the ball. This restricted them to few possessions. Though the majority of the plays were on the ground, 37 carries for 129 yards, the short but effective passing game won it for the Char- gers. Readjusting Melanie Hess ' s crown, Todd Clark helps to correctly posi- tion ttie 1979 Homecoming Queen ' s The Queen and her court consists of Shane Rodocker, Bev Maloney. Linda Farrell.
