Must Wear Skirts

BOSTON, Dec. 24.-When the
indoor swimming committee
was given permission TO
foster a championship meet by
the New England body Of the
Amateur Athletic Union at its
meeting at the Revere House
last night, there Immediately
arose the discus sion on Wom-
cn entries and the attire the
mcrmaids should appear in be-
fore the public.
The union has a rule which was
made to bar the fair sex from
competing in amateur events
in one-piece bathing suits.
This rule, howcVer, has no:
been lived up to. When the
swimming committee was
given the right to make plans
for a meet to be held in March,
tho rule was laid lown to the
effect that the shocking ONE
piece suits would rot be al
lowed for women contestants.
It was suggested hat the New
England body take further
steps and request that the
photographs of the star women
swimmers, when used in the
papers, be printed only when a
skirt covered the f7rm.
