Eugenie White Westhauser, a 1932 field hockey athlete, holds her field hockey block, which she received
in 1932. The block was the older version of the varsity letter and has the letters of the word “hockey” on its
sides, along with the year and her name.
Eugenie Angeline White Westhauser...
Making a place for herself not only in teaching but in Michigan State
field hockey sports history...
In a ceremony in February, the university presented letters to 200 women who
played sports for Michigan State before 1980, when the university began complying with a new gender-equity law by, among other
things, awarding varsity letters to its female athletes.
"Women's sports have certainly come a long way since my days
in the '30s, when we traveled by train for our games, playing in the pasture, and wearing our baggy bloomers and long-sleeve
blouses," says Eugenie Westhauser, an 88-year-old retired teacher. She played field hockey in 1932.
