On this last day of 1926 it might
be well to cast a backward glance
along the sport highway of the past
IL months among girls and women
and pick out from the host of games
they are playing as first timers

local circles within the year or de-
partures in old sports that give them
a novel flavor.
An organized polo squad of the
fair sex, competing with out-of-town
groups both men and women. is per
haps the most spectacular addition to
the local playfields. The first archery

active part in the preliminary stages
of that event. putting Washington on
the hockey map for the first time.

echoing the first national gallery
championship brought back to this
locality by members of the fair sex.

by a woman over a field of male com
petitors in the speedboa class. So

to these the increased participation
on the part of local women in the fa-
