POWDiRPUFF
Young teams dominate in unpredictable powderpuff
by Jeanne Cooper
Powderpuff, that veritable
bastion of female brutality, begins
a new season this weekend.
Enthusiasm has been erratic for
this college sport; some teams have
fielded as many as 30 players; some
as few as 10 and below. The
amount of practice varies widely as
well: Brown began immediately
after college soccer ended in
September; Hanszen started two
weeks ago.
As last year ended in a three-way
tie between Baker, Hanszen and
Lovett, later decided in favor of
Baker by point differential, this
year looks to be another close race
between the football femmes.
Baker
Last year's champions set the
trend with a team of mostly fresh-
men and sophomores, but should
not suffer as several key players
return. Coaches have continued
their down-to-earth approach to
the game, splitting practice evenly
between drills and plays. Since
Baker will receive a bye this
weekend in the round robin tour-
nament, the team has slowed its
practice schedule and so will have
worked out only three weeks by
this Saturday.
Baker will feature a strong
offense this year with former recei-
ver junior Kathy Burckhardt as
quarterback, senior Kim Hughes
as running back and soph Linda
Anderson as receiver. Top
freshmen include RB Kate Moyni-
han, receiver Margy Quinlevan
and defensive end Tracy Winn.
Brown
Last year, the emphasis was on
depth for the sole remaining single-
sex college. This year, Brown
boasts a smaller squad that has
concentrated on basic skills and
teamwork. Brown has little scrim-
maging under its belt as the women
prepare to face Hanszen Saturday
at 10 a.m., but under the coaching
of Campus Police Sgt. Willie
Anderson, the women have run
plays for the past two weeks.
Although Brown has no seniors
on the team this year, several
returning upperclassmen and
eager freshmen should boost its
performance. 1980 reserve QB,
junior Sheryl Shirley, will be first
string now, while sophs Kathy
Koch and Chris Marko will con-
tinue as safety and offensive end,
respectively.
Hanszen
Hanszen got a late start on
powderpuff practice this year after
a wearying route to second place in
women's soccer. Nevertheless, the
team has full offensice and defen-
sive squads with close to 30 women
participating.

offensive line and most of the

Lost year's expansion team Lovett once again puts its few players to good use during practice. —M. Giadu
defensive line graduated last May,
so like Baker and Brown, Hanszen
will field mostly freshmen and
sophomores. Returning standouts,
all sophs, are QB Geri Richards,
receiver Susan Eicher and nose
guard Gay Grayeson.
Jones
Jones too consists of mostly
freshmen and sophomores, but has
taken advantage of its full squads
to get in more sccrimmaging this
year. Coaches have also made a
concerted effort to prevent
penalties during play.
One of the few seniors,
Bernadette Paulson will return as
quarterback. Juniors Ellen May as

halfback and Lisa Schulz as safety
should also contribute to Jones'
success, while several strong
freshmen should start on defense.
Lovett
Last year's expansion team has
had to scrounge for players again,
but has still come up with a fair
amount of talent. Coaches have
concentrated on concepts as well
as skills; each player will most
likely have an offensive and defen-
sive position.
Junior Julie Shryne will hold the
team together as quarterback
behind the solid centering of trans-
fer Ellen Ossenfort. In a fast offen-
sive backfield, freshmen backs

Tracy Edmondson and Erin
Tierney are playing well as is junior
tailback Susan Drott. Although
star athlete Laura Creagh is gone,
junior Jenny Geran will return as
one of the excellent receivers that
catapulted Lovett to a 4-1 record
last season.
Will Rice
A 1980 record of 0-5 apparently
put a damper on the Wild Rice
women. Unable to field even the
semblance of a team after an
impressive college soccer victory,
Will Rice divided its few partici-
pants among the other colleges
under the special sanction of the
college sports coordinators.
