A girl on the football team? Just for kicks, make those place kicks! 

This nightmare of women's lib and new regulations leads to a comic situation in which a female English teacher is made coach and a girl athlete becomes the team's star kicker. However, when a school has never won a football game (no, not since it opened!) it can be forgiven for trying anything to gain a gridiron victory. The principal comes up with a devilish scheme. How can his team be faulted for its losses if its coach is a women? So he appoints the English teacher, Janet Talber. What he doesn't realize is that Janet is not the type to be a token coach and she means to win!

Like the principal, she has far-out methods that include making Diane, a talented girl athlete, the star kicker. Diane is out for victories but her conscience bothers her about the boy she's replaced. This play offers a wide range of comedy, from highly sophisticated verbal humor to slapstick.
