The Girl Athlete,

When the young woman athlete is
portrayed we generally see a COM
bination Of Juno and Amazon, n
stalwsrt, not to say strapping, type
made current by G. d. Gibson. As
a matter of fact, in the track ath-
letes at Vassar last spring it was an
entirely different build of girl who
took the lead. The feminine records
for running broad jump and stand
ing broad jump were both broken
by a gentle, fragile looking girl who
would almost be called little, but
who nevertheless lifted the records
to respectively IA feet 61h inches
and Z feet 7 inches. Another rec
ord breaker who did the 22O ward
run in 30 3-5 seconds and the fifty
yard dash in 3-5 seconds is slen-
der to the point of frailness and
must weigh under 1875 pounds
There were dozens Of typical women

as far as they took part. The hon

seeker OF the typical would have
dreamed OF pointing out.-Every-
