CHECK FOR ATHLETIC GIRLS,
The Female Pupils In Cleveland High
School Forbidden to Prac-
tice Football,

Central high school girls of Cleve
land, O., will recreate in the gymna-
SUM under the watchful eye of a
teacher hereafter. In the past the
girls have enjoyed basket ball in addi-
ton to exercises with various muscle
producing paraphernalia, but it proved
too tame. Some one suggested foot
ball, and the idea was quickly seized
upon as an agreeable diversion.
Several members of the regular
school eleven were pressed into serv-
ice as coaches, and, clad in boomers,
the girls were soon deep in the mys-
terry of tackling, mass plays, punts and
drop kicks. All went we'll until a
teacher passing the gym" heard the
earnest injunction of the coaches to-
"Tackle low! You'll never nail her
that way. Get her around the knees"
An investigation followed and a hot
practice at football tactics was inter-
rupted. Several of the coaches, it is
said, had cheerfully volunteered to act
as dummies for the girls to practice
tackling. All this and other details
of the practice resulted in summary
orders which will suspend the girls
tutelage in gridiron tactics Indefinite
~. Even basket ball may also be
tabooed.
