HE college girle are deserting bas- T ket ball for hockey. Vassar was the first to take up this new sport and was quickly followed by Smith Col- lege. Mount Holyoke girls are discussing whether the rougher sport would be too m out of keeping with thelir conserva- tive ways There are five clubs at Vassar, and a match will take place in two or three monthe. At 8mith it is planned to have a { first and a second eleven at each house and. as there gre twelve or more houses, there will be more than 250 girls on or- | ganized teams. The advantages of hockey over basket ball for the college girls are considerdble. First, it is played in the open air, while basket ball requires a gymnasium. It requires eleven players on a side, per- | mitting a larger number of girls to share in its benefits. Interclass basket ball has given rise to hard feeling and has made the struggle for places on teams very bit- ter, but with two hockey teams from each X2 house, a large enough number of girls may play the match games to do away with any unpleasant rivalry. At present the girls are not all adept in the game, and many a fair collegian is nursing a briised shin and is walking with a halting gait <nd stiff knecs: but such hurts are things (o be proud of, for they show that the victim is a true sport./ Good stick work is lacking, and the girls are clumsy at wiefding the sticks. Good driving by the backs and clever passing by the forwards are points in which the girls are not at all ~killful so far, but promise is given of clever playing later, and meanwhile the girls enjoy the game because it is good fun. The Amherst College men like the adop- tion of the game by the Smith girls, for they have a chance to see the latter at a match, something that was not permitted them when the girls played basket-ball in the gymnasium. The Amberst men cannot be shooed off the back campus, aid .they are enthu- siastic spectators. "A CORRECT OTANDING FOSITION 15 VERY ESOENTIALY Z Modern competitive méthods have, placed woman In the vace whether. she will or not, whether it is a matter of earn- ing dally bread or of merely keeping ur with the procession in every branch of human activity. Action is the wa word, and in no country is indolence the crime that it Is in America. For many gencrations young children were allowed to indulge in games and sports with equal freedom till the period of adolescence when the young girl was housed up be- tween four walls and taught to luok shrinkingly subdued and palely intercst- ing, while' her brothers took golf sticks, fishing rods or shotguns and went forth into the sunshine. An Absurd Convention. Not that the young maiden has lesr need of the slowly developing process o: sunshine and ozone, for her after dutie: in life were bound to be just as severe, but an absurd and cruel convention for- bade. Little by little this false point cf view gave way to one of completer san: ity. It has taken many years to eradicate this fallacy, but, as in many enterprises, America has taken the most decisive lead. To-day one cannot pick up a newspaper without seeing the exzploits of this or that young women's football team or read of more modern Diana of the hunt. Woman has become an expert whip, au- tomobilist, 'golf player and what not, by no means to the loss of womanly charm in the eyes of her sisters or of men, buf wilh a distluct gain in their éstimation She has ceased to be the faraway shrine for man's pilgrimages and his sonnet- eering In absence, and has becomeé more of his “guide, philesopher and friend,” his chum and equal companion in sports and pleasures, assuming an cqual responsibil- ity in his labors. She is not less tender and sympathetic with this broader knowl- edge, this disciplined body. Strong men are proverblally modest snd gentle. Among the tens of thou- gands whom I have known I have met with few exceptions. In the same way 1 have found strong women in no wise "5 EXERCISE WILL DEVELOPE THE HIP MUSCLES s ~KICAL : * “THROW THE WHOLE TORCE, OF MIND AND MUSCLE. INTO THE.
