The Chipmunk 17 FOOTBALL (Continued) At times Lassen was unable to stop them, and at other times the two teams fought in a deadlock. The ball changed hands rapidly and often. When the final whistle blew and the game came to an end, the score stood 6-0 in Westwood’s favor. An innovation of the 1931 season was the organization of the Junior high “Steelheads” and “Redheads”, teams made up of seventh and eighth grade boys, respectively. After faithful practicing, these two teams played feature games between halves of contests played on the Westwood field. They furnished a great deal of entertainment to the spectators, and besides aroused class spirit to a high pitch, as they were heartily supported by their classmates on the bleachers. Junior Ott captained the eighth graders, and Milton Miller the seventh graders.

The Junior team con- sisted of seven girls: holding down the guard positions were Faye Phelan, Wilma Klotz and Shiela Cooper; at center were Virginia Fowler and Mary Lorda: while at forward were Marion Dyer and “Bede” Martin. A banner which is awarded to the “Champs” each year was given to the Junior Class. Lorda, Martin, Miss Feusier, Phelan, Dyer, Klotz, Cooper, Fowler
