EMPIRE GAMES.
PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN
Mr Evan Hunter (secretary of the British Empire Games Federation) explains that no decision with reference to the participation of women in the Empire Games to be held at Sydney in 1938 was made at the meeting of the federation, says a London message, and that it is a matter for the Australian association to propose the full programme when the Empire delegates meet during the holding of the Berlin Olympic Games. Subject to certain limitations, the country staging the games decides the programme. The general impression in London is that women’s events may not figure prominently in Sydney. This is due partly to. the difficulty of fully representative women obtaining long leave, and also to the relatively small proportion of women athletes in Australia.
