Powder Play: 1939
Oct. 14, 1939. "Hit that line, coed! Captain Alice Shanks, carrying football, running behind good interference as the young women from Western State College staged their annual Powder Bowl game on a mountain gridiron in Gunnison, Colorado."

Apparently the girl on the ground on the right was a spectator who wandered onto the field. She certainly didn't come prepared to play.
Down South it was called Bloomer Bowl.
The best part for us girls was the male football players were dressed as female cheerleaders!, all was hilarious, good clean fun and gender bending in good taste.
