POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL Women on the move This year, the powder puff football game followed tradition. Broken fingernails, assorted wounds, poor referees, bad tempers, and of course, the winning seniors prevailed. The senior team’s double-reverse- everybody-run-the-opposite-direction-of-the- ball-fake-out-the-junior sophomore-team play actually gained good yardage — much to the amazement of some of the varsity football players. The seniors left the field victorious, with a final score of 12 to 8. The senior coaches are now awaiting offers from several NFL teams. Kim Bartholomew expressed a common sentiment when she said, “It’s a lot more fun to play than to watch.” Still, the general con- sensus of the juniors and sophomores was that the seniors won the game unjustly.

Brian Wall Brian Wall Confused Utah college represen- tatives stared in disbelief as one geek after another filed into the auditorium. Too-tight, too-short double-knit pants with the flies open were common as were horn-rimmed glasses, baggy nylons, clashing col- ors, and spastic shoes. Geek Day, New Wave Day, Purple and Green Day, and others marked the opening of homecoming 1984. GANG TACKLE! . . . And as the former “spectator” crawled out from under a pile of slimy brown bodies, the Mammoth Mudbowl got under- way. What began as a benign, semi- organized mud football game soon turned into a giant mud-slinging con- test. The rules were simple: Get the “Anybody want a hug?” ball across the goal line any way that suits you, and NO TACKLING! Tackling was against the rules and therefore was a common occurence. Spectators were in a particularly vulnerable position because few par- ticipants could resist the temptation to chuck just one slime ball toward the sidelines. Vice Principal Jacobsen was speechless with appreciation as one student treated him to a big after- game hug. One thing was for sure: There’s no better way to have “good clean fun!” (Lynnae Whiling) HOMECOMING 13
