Summary

Pathe Intertitles - "It would take volumes to record the sporting achievements of Eve during the past year, but a glance at prominent champions shows the extraordinary range of woman’s activities today. Flying - Frau Fusbahn - topped 16,000 feet." "Adam had a shock when this lady won the King’s Prize at Bisley - Miss M. E. Foster". "Our South African Olympic High-Jumper, Miss Clark, topped 5’3"." "The Miss Diana Fishwick showed her prowess in the Golfing Championship". "In the Sculling World, Miss Innes, the Champion, shone brightly." "And as a contrast, Miss Joyce Gardner the first Woman Billiards Champion, demonstrated her ability to handle a cue." "In the Tennis world, our "Betty" worthily upheld British prestige -". "And in skating, Sonja Henie continues her winning and graceful way".
