MIXED SPORTS TREND IS GIVEN

FULL APPROVAL

DePauw Physical Education

Director Favors Setting College Girls’ Play.

“The

gym classes,”

physical. education director.

She is attending the four-day

Midwest Physical Association con-

vention which opened yesterday at

the Claypool Hotel. - While this trend is continuing to grow, she said, she does not believe it will result in girls participating in intercollegiate athletics. “I'm all for it,” she said, “If a girl is that good, why not let her play? But the Association is to go on record as opposing girls on men’s varsity teams.”

Believes in Mixed Teams

The Association feels that because such a plan would involve traveling, would necessitate chaperons, and might result in unfavorable publicity for a school, they could not indorse it. “Women started the co-educa-tional movement in physical education,” she said, “and have encourazed it because the complete segregation of classes according to sex is an artificial distinction.” “Exercising together is a natural preliminary to postcollege life when boys and girls will be thrown together constantly. There is no reason why eventually all except contact sports will not have mixed teams. “We have had excellent results with our mixed volley-ball teams for the past two years. Of course, we play under a combination of the boys and girls rules. We also have mixed swimming, tennis and table tennis teams. “Our experience has shown that mixed competition improves the social contacts of both the boys and the girls and further improves the skill of girls. They have an opportunity to study the technique of boys’ play which is naturally better.

Credit Given for Dancing

“As an example of the interest the girls take in the voiley-ball tournament which is held in September, the sororities begin choosing the boys they want for their teams early in April. ” .In addition to “play days” and intramural sports together just for the exercise and companionsnip. she said, many colleges are beginning to hold regular credit courses for mixed groups. The students then receive credit for the course just as they did under the segregation system, she explained. “Wisconsin and Iowa both give credit for their dancing courses. Northwestern, Chicago, and others are holding intramural Sempetitions in badminton. “We have even noticed a trend toward modified intercollegiate competition where one school invites a mixed team from another school to visit and compete with their mixed squads.” Most sports which are individualized in the character of competition as archery, horsemanship and rifle shooting, are rapidly becoming coeducational, she said, and it is only 2 matter of time until softball is included with those sports.

Some Games Belong te Men

“The only sports which cannot eventually have mixed teams are nasketball. outside baseball. hockey, football and similar sports. They are too rough. “No girls’ team ever could com- . pete successfully with a boys’ team because of the girls’ lack of strength and height.” The convention's activities ioday include a dance section, a men’s athletics section, a research section, a therapeutic section and the second ~~ a) session. William Gear Spencer, president of Franklin College, was to give the noon States luncheon address. u.fternoon aciivities include the camping, recreation, and women’s athletic sessions. Motion pictures are to be shown from 4 to 5:30 p. m. at the Chateau Room and again at '":15 and 8:45 p. m. A two-hour program of dance compositions will be given at 7.30 - p. m. at the Washington High School auditorium. Climax of the day's events will be the social recreation session and » at the Riley Room beginning at 9 p. m.

‘QUEEN OF RABBITS’ DUE AT WHITE HOUSE

CALEXICO, Cal.,, March 30 (U. P.).—Snuffy, a trained rabbit that walks on a leash like a dog, went east today to superintend the Easter egg rolling at the White House.

It was a “deathbed” confession that Baldridge believed he was making when he gasped out to Deputy Mack Howard of Tyronza, Ark., last week that he was reaily | J. H. Howard and was wanted in | Oklahoma for murder. He had | killed a man in 1915, he related, and then killed a guard in 1913 when he escaped from the Oklahoma prison. = t 4 ” OR 20 years Baldridge-Howard | was a respected farmer of | Marked Tree, Ark. Last week he was stricken with pneumonia and when death appeared imminent, he called for Mr. Howard and confessed. But Baldridge did not die. He was brought to a Memphis hospi- | tal where he is recovering and Oklahoma officers were en route here today te return him to that state.
