Before the game, the Milwaukee Does snapped locker room Polaroids:

 

Barb Hostert and Joanie Smith (wearing a prophetic No. 1?  Smith scored the first basket and committed the first foul in professional women's basketball history)

 

Gerry Booker, Brenda Dennis, and Lynda Gehrke are ready for their closeup
