Wallace (Frost) goes from State Champion to touring nationally with the All American Red Heads
The All American Red Heads were one of the first professional women?s basketball teams. In 1936, almost 50 years after women?s basketball began, C. M. ?Ole? Olson (who also founded Oson?s Terrible Swedes) started a barnstorming team which would play around the country until 1986.[1] The name of the team came from Olson?s wife, who owned a number of beauty salons in the south. [2] They played by men?s rules and were a smash success with the audience. They were so successful as an exhibition team that they fostered two other teams, the Ozark Hillbillies and the Famous Red Heads.
