Cover Story
The lady with the Playboy team sweater is Rita Lee, whom you may remember (with pleasure) as our November 1977 Playmate. Rita hailed from St. Paul then, but she's since moved on to New York and a successful modeling career. Executive Art Director Tom Staebler designed and photographed the cover on the same day that our 1980 All-America team posed for the pictures you'll see on pages 164 and 165. Unfortunately, the players didn't get to meet Rita--but then, you wouldn't want to hug her in shoulder pads.
