GIRLS TAKE TO
HAIR PULLING
IN CAGE GAME
Suggests NelU Outlet
For Emotional
Energies.
BY WALTER CAMP.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus

tCOpyrlght, 1922, by The Argus.l
Here is the latest incident attend
ing athletics for women. An Off
cial at a basketball game between
two girl teams disqualified two
rival forwards for pulling each 9TH
eT'S hair. This not only suggests
a question what athletics for wom-
en- will mean when the movement
progresses in to all fields of COM
petition as now seems likely, but
what attitude should be held at the
present time.
So far as competitive sports for
girls are concerned it should be
understood that girls have the
same amount of emotional energy
as boy. and as much as her grand
mother had. The grandmother.
however. worked off her superflu-
GUS spirits in what amounted to a
working day of u hours. A new
civilization is here and while these
superfluous spirits and emotional
energies are still with us just as
in the old days, the outlet of the old
times is gone.
The earlier forms of athletics in
to which girls entered, tennis. golf,
swimming and riding, were easily
taken up and have been Of real
benefit But now we have come to
phase where the girl is taking up
more and more the sports of her
brother. This is to say, rigorous
sports. many of which call for ply
steal contact. In Great Britain just
now physicians are arguing against
the dangers of this trend while on
the other hand plenty of heads of
women's schools and colleges find
nothing but good in it
While the subject is one warrant
ing extended treatment it may be
set down here as a cardinal prin-
cipal that careful preparation for
these sports is an essential. A girl
is liable to serious injury if this
is not made. Her broth
er has generations of athletes be-
hind him. whereas the modern girl
is merely beginning her plunge in
to strenuous sports. Some will be
is inevitable-but
with proper and graduated prepar-
alton and training the majority will |
receive benefit We cannot. how
ever, say to just what extent COM !
petitive sports for girls should be |
carried until we know how girls |
nervous systems will react to bit |
ter competition. |
