University Of Omaha
Girls in Athletics

Under the direction Of Miss Edna Man
tor, goods OF the University OF Omaha
plan TO take an important part in the
athletic activity of the school this winter.
Miss Mantor has mapped out a field
Of entertainment that calls for basket
ball. volley ball. indoor tennis and the
like. The scheme Is TO include every
young woman of the school in the activ-
tiles. Miss Mantor does not believe In
competitive athletics for according 10 her
views It benefits only a small number Of
the students. Discussing exercise TOT
young women Miss Mantor said.
Girls seldom realize the need for ex-
ercise. This is more so OF the college
women. Instead OF securing three or
four hours OF good healthfui exercise
they have a tendency to remain indoors
as much as possible. The reason why
so many girls break down In college
life is because OF their lack OF exercise
Miss Mantor has definite ideas OF what
coed should eat. In a recent lecture
she spoke against the eating OF candy
and other harmful CONNECTIONS.
The girl who eats such things Is as
Incorporate as the person who smokes
and drinks for after all the result Is
the same" said Miss Mantor.
The athletic instructor expects to have
her basketball teams organized the latter
part OF this week. A interlclass tourna-
ment will be staged. II possible games
will also be arranged with the Peru nor
NAL and Tarkio college co-eds.
Miss Mantor has had much experience
I'm this line of work. She was connected
with the University OF Nebraska and
previous 10 that time was at the Ran
dolph, CNeb) high school.
