POWDERPUFF
Baker, Hanszen, and 'expansion' Lovett win
Powderpuff football kicked off
this weekend with the expected
powerhouses, Baker and Hanszen,
asserting their dominance with
victories over Will Rice and Brown
respectively. However, after the
dust settled over the battlefield,
and the initial week's five games
had been completed, the new kids
on the block, Lovett, came out on
top, with victories over both Jones
and Brown. Jones, however, did
redeem themselves Sunday with a
26-6 victory over hapless Will
Rice.
Baker looked the strongest of the
six teams as they annihilated Will
Rice 60-0. According to head
coach David Minter, "We looked a
little sloppy on our first
possession, but we scored on our
next and on every other one for the
rest of the game."
Leading the scoring barrage for
Baker were backs Carole Valentine
(four TD's and 200 yards rushing)
and Kim Hughes (two TD's), and
receivers Darcy Carter (two TD's)
and Cathy Burkhart (two TD's).
The very potent Baker offense,
which amassed around 500 total
yards, was directed by Julie
Sandman.
Despite Baker's obvious
offensive prowess, Minter seemed
particularly pleased with his
defensive unit. "The whole
defense, especially Sue Taylor and
Sue Pavelka, played well,"
remarked Minter.
Hanszen played almost flawless
football, running all over Brown
33-0. Quarterback Doty Phea
engineered the potent Hanszen
offense, with a strong mixture of
passing and running. Phea, who
rushed for over a hundred yards,
received strong support from back
Ann Turner (70 yards) and Tami
Ragosin. Ragosin excelled
particularly well on punt returns,
bringing one back for over sixty
yards that was, unfortunately,
called back on a penalty.
Hanszen assistant coach John
"Flech" Elder commented on the
game, "Our defense, especially
Jenny Gredell with seven tackles,
played very well in allowing Brown
only 1 yard in total offense. Both
teams played like teams and there
was a lot of hard hitting."
The league's biggest surprise,
Lovett, came out last weekend
with two narrow victories, a 6-6 tie
decided on sudden death yardage
against Jones and a more
impressive 12-0 triumph over
Brown.
The Jones-Lovett match was
basically a defensive struggle,
highlighted by two exciting scoring
runs. Helen Travis put Jones on
the board first on a beautiful 93-
yard run and Jones held a 6-0 lead
until Lovett generated a scoring
drive, late in the fourth quarter,
that ended with a 20-yard
touchdown run by back Laura
Creagh. Lovett, however, failed to

convert the extra point and the
game went into overtime.
During the overtime period, in
which each team is allowed to run
the ball for four plays and
whichever squad amasses the most
yardage wins the game, Helen
Travis seemingly put Jones in an
unbeatable position by running for
a composite 14 yards on three
plays. On fourth down, however,
Travis was stopped for no gain,
became angry with a Lovett
defender and threw the ball at the
player. Travis was immediately
called for unsportsmanlike
conduct and Jones received a 15-
yard penalty, giving them a total of
-1 yards in overtime.
Lovett, on its possession, moved
only about two yards, but that was
enough to win the game.
Lovett coach Tom Snook felt
very happy with his team's
performance. "I'm proud of the
girls. They're doing very well,
considering they're really no more
than a expansion team," said
Snook. He also cited the play of
four women'in being instrumental
to the victory; running back Pam
Tacy, defensive tackle Carleen
Tindell, safety Amy Jonassen and
noseguard/running back Laura
Creagh.
Lovett ended its successful
weekend with a more methodical
12-0 win over Brown. Tacy scored
on short yardage for Lovett's first
TD and Creagh took the ball into
the endzone on a sweep for the
game's final six.
WOMEN'S TENNIS
Owls second
at Memphis
by Margaret Bennett
Last weekend the women's
tennis team made an impressive
showing at a quad-meet in
Memphis, Tennessee. Against
strong competition, the Owls took
second place, defeating Memphis
State 6-3 and Alabama, 6-3, but
losing the the University of
Tennessee at Knoxville 1-8.
In singles play, Tracie
Blumentritt won all three of her
matches, capturing the Owls' only
win against Tennessee. Susan
Rudd won two of her three
matches as did Karen Garman.
Wanna Hadnott and Debbie
Melaas each won one match.
In doubles, the teams of
Blumentritt/Rudd and Garman/
Hadnott defeated teams from
Memphis State and Alabama.
"Everyone played better than at
the SLU match," remarked Rudd.
"We're settled now."
Blumentritt agreed. "We've come
to a better basic understanding.
We've worked out all our
problems."
