only hgi.p/ul Tqr girls, but their
athletic activities were heading
them for “sex extinction.”
A
peuter sex, neither male nor fe
male, would be the result, it was
declared, if girls' sehpois did not
realize “ you are destroying moth
ers wh«n you make champions. ’
, The reason assigned for the
harmfuhieea to girls of strenuous
sports was that “energy which the
adolescent, girl requires for her
natural development Is Unnaturally
diverted by violent exerieite, which
she does not wish or require— Che
Is shamed into it.” Women ath
lete», It was declared, spend all
their “capital” on sbnermsl phys
ical exertion, are often sterile, and
“take on mseeqiine traits to the
exteht that the feminine in them
Is all but crushed out.”
There- were just as many au
thorities, of course, who took the
other side, and declared the con
clusions of the Committee for the
Prohibition of Girls’ Games were
“all theory, conjecture and bosh!"
Scores of instances were eited in
which puny girls have developed
themselves into robust women and
healthy mothers, solely by reason

her observation or experience justi

Was harmful for girls. Women,
she. added, have ridden horseback
foy centuries, and no question has
ever been raised as to tne term ful-
ntess of this rather violent exercise.
Meanwhile the outcry ceased,
the furore subsided, and girl ath
letes proceeded to hang up new
and better records in all branches
of sport And the new order is
producing, not “ Men-women,” or
a "neuter sex,” but all-around girls
like Muriel Gunn, who exeel not
