ABSTRACT

What will happen in the next few years? It is almost certain that within fi ve years some girl will run the 100 yards in 10 and a half seconds and be able to jump well over fi ve feet [sic]. It must be admitted that none of the girl swimmers have been able to reach the great speed shown by Johnny Weismuller, but the point is they have made a remarkable series of advances in the last year which shows imposing possibilities later on.1
