The image above was a cover page for Women's Athletics, 1918-1919. It had the letters "W" with the letters B (Basketball), H (Hockey, Hiking), S (Swimming), and T (Track, Tennis) placed on it, and a chevron across it. The letters were being given for the first time to the women. For the first 500 points awarded for participation in different activities, a woman could earn a "W." The chevron was awarded for 150 points in any one sport. The administrative head at the time was Ruth Hunt Conrow.
