Maxwell Stiles - Los Angeles Examiner(1932)The
Canadian girls are undoubtedly the prettiest and
most wholesome looking group of girls who have
arrived for the competition. They constitute a
denial of the general idea that a woman athlete
must be built like a baby grand piano and have a
face like a hatchet. Their ages range from 16 to
21, and they are here to show the world that
Canada has some splendid young women who are
good-looking and who know how to conduct
themselves.
