| Universal Training and Sporting Activities Reg- / .ylar Program. HAVE CAPABLE COACH IiWiss Ina M. Barding Directs Athletics for 1,500 Women Clerks. B* JOHN A. DUGAJf. Athletic directors of colleges and high schools are continually whimpering about the gigantic task of coaching representative teams in all branches of sports, as many are compelled to also direct athletic activities for their student bodies. Coaching athletic teams and directing athletic ac tivities are separate and distinct, bnt many coaches are compelled to do both. The scholastic and coUegiate ranks locally can be | *-uen as a good example, and ' Jishington can boast of some of ^?.c best in the country. In most cases where the student jdies run into the four columns figures these directors of j pieties coach one or two sports, ? nile they are given assistants 10 are paid good salaries for ecializing this or that depart *nt of athletic, training. C'Meket f?r Varsity. Vojlowing this plan the burden of ftiversal training so highly endorsed by Secreta^r of War Newton D. Baker and other government officials is lift ed off the shoulders of the hired coach, so that he may pound the finer points of the ?ame into tH% dense brain of th? athleticly built candi dates of the representative team, with esult that the varsity, as the repre entative eleven, nine, quint or cinder .th tiaras are better known, is | ;*ven the greatest attention. The '^akling student of under weight and vlder ability of making these first ?*<fc-ing teams, is casted aside and al lowed to mix into the driftwood of healthy cheering section. But right here in the Capital, under tlttr guiding hand of our Iwn Uncle Sim. there is one athletic director ?Jd coach who is undertaking a jgantic task of directing and * eaching l.iiOO. Yen. and 1,300 athlet I Milly inclined girls at that. This fair | *? thus las tic devotee of the athletic Id is no other than Miss Ina Mil dred Barding. of Chicago. 111., late of the Northwestern University, t Enthusiastic Coach. Never is there a whimper from Miss Barding. She is over-enthusiastic about her work. She goes into it with the pep and vim that would put many of our college coaches to shame. She dreams of, and plans her activi ties during spare moments if such a thing as spare moments are possible. Making hay while the sun shines if* a leading motto of her vocabulary of action as she punches through her irh such rapidity that her new plans \v? . apiuux mat ner own little 1.500 student body become ardent and enthusiastic slaves. Something new every minute and action every second is another rea son why the girls of the War RisK Insurance Bureau are crazy about ?"war work" and judged in the F street and Connecticut avenue parades us the best looking of Uncle Sammy's fair clerks. To their little athletic di rector and coach goes the credit of lifting the grind of monotonous of fice work. / An Athletic Girl. Miss Barding is an ideal alhletio girl, having medals and trophies for athletic competitions. In 1917 Miss Carding won the all-around cham pionship at Northwestern University in competition with more than 200 ^;irls. while at basketball and hockey ?Hhe was looked upon as without an equal. Miss Brading. although very modest and unassuming in speaking oT her own endeavors, is what sport fans would term a "bug" when she finds time to talk of athletics and sports or anything pertaining to this little world of physical training. Although she loves to tell of the powers of various girl athletes who now make up her representative .earns she always insists on her pet hobby of universal training. She re- . fuses to take any of the credit of building up the athletic training which ! now a daily feature for the girls I I ->f the War Risk Bureau. She gives m oL Max Wainor, the athletic director I f the bureau, credit for all activities r .nd claims. If it was not for his un ' iring efforts War Risk would not have had its championship teams and could not even hope for the greater things which will result from uni versal training. Coarhr* All 9perth. Miss Barding entered the War Risk Bureau back in 19i7 when so many of the patriotic women of this country swamped this city to till the places of the men who went into the big trouble ^cross the pond. Just four months ago "athletic activities were pieced upon a sound basis in the Insurance Bu reau and Miss Harding was picked 4lo lead the way among the feminine contingent which even now greatly exceed the men workers. Every branch of sport which is par ticipated in by the men is also played by the girls. Basket-ball, gymnastics, bowling and indoor track at present hoMs the limelight, but teams have been organised for baseball, not the indoor fame, but the real national pasttne. hockey, swimming, soccer n??d volley bell which will be started as soon as the weather allows out- j uwoi play. ???< Basketball Tram. The basket-ball league which was organized a few weeks ago now con sists of fifteen teams, each with their own name. colors and yell. The lnterteague games, which is the fea ture of the girls' basket-ball in this city, has aroused much interest and complimentary comment The gyms of Kpiphany Church. Wilson Normal School and Central High School are used for both games and practice. ^ representative team has been chosen, which has already won the game in competition with the best teams in this section. Some real stars of the court rame have been unearthed by Miss Rardings.% Miss Regiaa Ryan is an all-around athlete and Is prominent in both the w ^Zptucijjl A&OOMD ATHL?T?

Miss Ryan is a product of Cazenovia Seminary, of New York, where she won the laurels of being the best all-around ! ahtlete ever turned out by this school. After three years of star- j ing in athletes at Cozenovia, Miss' Ryan joined the United Women's Catholic Association of New York City, where she again starred in both basket-ball and baseball, win ning the A. A. U. lovinsr cup (or al around athletic competition at the interborough tournament. A Track Athlete. She was affiliated with the Treas ury team, which won the champion ship of the inter-departmental meet last summer, and played and helped] coach the War Camp Community.) Service baseball team and the Arl ington hockey team. Although short of stature, she displays great s peed, j which is the secret of her success j In all athletics. Anna Geiman and Stella Webb, i who play forward positions with the j representative basket-ball tearr* are| former hljrh school girls who J learned athletics while at prep | school. Miss Gieman is a Verglnia girl, having attended ~ the Lincoln High School of Lincoln. V-a., in 1917 and 1918, while Miss Webb claims little old Bristol, of little Rhode Inland, as her native land. Misses Elizabeth Chickering and Ruby Ld?t are forwards of equal ability, while they both are prominent In other branches of sport activities. Ijiss Chickering grained ^uite a r?p| utation for herself while attending the New Hampshire Cotle^e at Dur ham, N. C.. while Mia* LUt WQa her letter down In the "show me" State while attending: the Southern Teach ers' College. Some Center. Miss Ruth Lawson, who is con sidered by expert coaches as the best j jumping center who has ever played here, is from Sheboygan. Mich. She is a product of the Michigan State Normal School where she was rat^d as the best all-around athlete in the State during 1915 and 1916. Missi Francis Cooper, from that Southern State whose men boast of being the best judges of thoroughbred horses, j mint-juleps and fair women, is the1 roving center of the representative basket-ball team. Her all-around floor work in the recent games played helped a great deal toward the easy victories. Misses Lucille Rodgers and Dottle Malloy are a combination of guards that are hard to beat. ^Miss Rodgers' home is Barnesville, Ohio, the State that turns out real basket-ball play ers. Little Miss Malloy is Washing ton's own. She is strong, sturdy and fast. She will be remembered as the wee mite of an athlete who won the bj^Il tossing contest at the Indepart mental games at the Central Stadium when she heaved the horsehide atmost double the distance of her nearest competitor. Besides being a basket ball star Miss Malloy ranks among the. best all-around athletes In the Bureau. Miss Yelton at side center. Misses Burke, Bolin and Gully, who make up the , balance of the squad of the representative team, are play ers of exceptional ability. Over four hundred fftrls are mem b?r? of Uu TV*r Blak Bowllof League. The interleague eames ha^ve already started on the Arcade runway* and Miss Harding will shortly select a representative team for games with local girls clubs. Misses Long:, Rest at.d Hand ley are among the best bowlers In the Bu reau. | Swimming is another sport that appeals to the War Risk girls. Many 'are taking instructions in diving, others are working on speed events while the long distance gamo has its followers. War Risk will be represented in the various swimming ] meets during the spring and sum mer. The representative teaui which j is at present made up of Misses ' Helen Crone, Dorothy Pasch, Maude |Viehman, Christine Stelnmetz and [Lowolla Lewis are practicing every night at the Y. W. C. A. tank. ? Representative Team*. Miss Barding's War Risk girls are receiving plenty of coaching In the various athletics from the local high school and college tutovs. The representative teams in the layout are composed as follows: the hockey team, front row?Tessie Gully, Anna Oeiman, Hazel Albaugh, Ardis Yel ton (captain): back row?Rena Welts, Kmily Covell, Regina Ryan.

As Miss Carding: put it, "Athletics for women in the War Risk Bureau have only had a four months* growth, but watch us. We are go ing over the top." And as a compliment to Miss | Barding, one of the local college ! coaches remarked. "War Risk is j pretty lucky in having a coach with j the ability of Miss Barding. She ! is a finished athletic tutor and 1 Uncle Sam insurance girls will | shortly make a real name for them selves or *l am guessing away wrong." 1 HAVANA ENTRIES.
