In archery Miss Cynthia NJ. Yves

What will 1917 bring to women in
sport?
Will woman usurp mans place in
other branches of sport? Will she
compete with man at his own game
and beat him?
The wonderful achievements Of
women in 1916 hint at such con.
summation.
Maybe it won't come in 1917, but
the trend is that way and man must
look to his laurels or grin and bear
defeat at woman's hands.

1916 was wOman'S year in sport.
Not only did women compete at
their own games, but in two instances
women accomplished feats which men
have never achieved.
Women in sport open a field which
is rapidly widening.
1t is not going too far to predict
that in sports where skill and not
strength is the forte woman will soon
be on an equal basis with men and
will defeat man at his own game.
The most remarkable performance
in the world of sport in 1916 were
achieved by women.
They were the nonstop flight of
Ruth Law from Chicago to Hornell,
