kt st? Kill? liilillliit '43 M W7 F ,,,,....w ,zws 1 at 'W Female Football Player The Lower School experienced a first. That first was a female football player, Jeri Lowe. Jeri, a fifth grade jock, was a starter on Mr. Bill Cobb's team. In a three team intramural league with thrity-five players, Jeri played flanker on offense and safety-person on defense for the Cobb's Col- liders. In the opening game, she caught two passes, one for a game-winning extra point, and made three individual tackles. If Jeri establishes a trend, perhaps one day the Varsity Team will be composed of females with dynamic, versatile males cheering them on to victory. ' T X .vvfX-x .,,T,,,, vawvaurauraura--.-..,-..-.
