This episode of Ozzie and Harriet was a bold idea for 1958. It tackled the issue of whether or not a girl should be allowed to play football.
The episode begins with David becoming the football coach for the playground team. He tells the family and Ozzie tells him that he once coached football for Lincoln High. Ozzie gifts David with his old whistle.
David holds tryouts the following day and discovers that #10 is the best quarterback of the group. He is surprised when he finds out that #10 is a girl. He doesn't feel a girl should be playing on the team.
This episode would probably not be well received today by more "modern" audiences. Which would be a shame since this is a cute episode. It is a light hearted show and has its funny moments. Although it is not as funny as some others it is still worth watching.
