Animosity characterized play According to Coach Pagni. the juniors were agile, mobile, and hostile. They were a very quick and well btdanccd team. Coach Howton boasted. The senior warriors are among the finest players I have ever coached. Thus began the intense rivalry between the junior and senior girls in the fall powderpuff cicissic. Practice sessions were long and grueling. For three long weeks, both teams were put through their paces for hours every evening after school and also on weekends. Friendly rivalry has always been a necessary ingredient for the suc- cess of this popular once-a-year sport. But this year on the field, the competition became even more in- tense. Much of the play was characterized by unnecessary roughness, in fact several girls were seriously injured. Each team proved equal to the other in skillful play and rough con- duct. The lead flip-flopped from seniors to juniors, ending the game in an indeterminate tie. 24-24. Often the brag factor exceeded the abilities of either team. Coaches contributed much of the competitive verbage, which added greatly to the feelings of the players before they enter the contest. Since there can be only one winner each year, the junior team inherits a vengeance, carried into next year ' s contest, making the sophomores the hapless victims of the next bid for class supremacy. Even though there was no clear winner, this year ' s con- test was no different. WITH GREAT EFFORT.
