And But brings us to a time worn point a la the late Dinah Washington: What a difference a “day" makes! It was Just a short while ago that most Americans frowned on girls' track and tield with a tigerish twisting of their hew They hnashed their teeth at the thought of a The frowning was. perhaps, more official thaw un official. for countless odneathm al leaden spoke verbosely end eloquently In speeches which, boiled down, simply said: "Nats to girts on the track.” Hu claim was that track and Hold waa detrimental to femininity. Track and field, the erttics said, nude girls muscle hoowd. The sport wasn’t wholessme and It wasn't healthy for girls, others uid. The mere outspoken hinted (hint id. did I say?) that there Was some thing queef about a girl who liked to run or jump in competition, ig noring the fact that running, espec ially, and Jumping were among the Tost natural of exercises. Most of the mobs were Caucasians, protecting—l guest—the soft, dow ny daintiness of their woman. Not a. living soul complained be cause Negro girls were carrying the banner for America, the torch for America. And, for a while there, the Negro girls saturated and domi nated the field.

Negro girls alone—of course, there bad been the greet Stalls Walsh and Babe Didriksen, but such Caucasian “tomboys” were fairly rare—couldn’t be expected to cany A the banners and all the torches. Lovely, leggy Wilma Rudolph, the Tennessee Ttgarbrile, helped the pro-girlo-track-and-field forces tremendously during tha IMP Pome Olympics, when she ran off with a carload of gold medals white the whole world cheered. Obviously, Wilma was feminine. She was probably the first Negro girl athlete to be described as be ing “beautiful” in the general-cir culation daily press. She proved Mat a girl didn't require a face by Frankenstein to qualify for the world of track and field. Today, tha prejudice# are dis appearing. Track and field tans are hugging the girls too.
