Janet Guthrie, the first woman to drive in the Indianapolis 500, may they don't even answer our letters." Sounds like the women have good reason to gripe, however, I feellike youngsters have the same problem' with equipment and clothing. Have you ever tried to buyyour daughter or son hunting clothing, or for that matter fishing wear? about the only thing available is grown men.

HOPEFULLY, THE women's organization will get the ball rolling, and manufacturers will produce gear for them to enjoy outdoor sports. Also, maybe the manufacturers will see the. additional need for youngsters' insulated clothing for winter wear and at the same time consideration for summer attire. O.J.

Vandy was a 13-point loser at Auburn early last month when Sneed, with six, was the leading Commodore rebounder. Freshman Bobby Cattage, 6-9; and seniors Mike Mitchell and Myles Patrick, both 6-8 and strong, are an awesome trio on the boards for Auburn.

'An organization known as Outdoor Women, a national associa-tion located in Washington, hopes to change all that. ACCORDING TO an article I recently read, many women have been frustrated in their search for the outdoor experience. If they don't have boyfriend, husband or father to teach them, most never get the opportunity to learn and enjoy the outdoors. The Outdoor Women organiza-V tion was founded by several lead-, ing sportswomen, including Joan Cone, outdoor consultant, lecturer, and author; Sheila Lenk, Marg Nichols, and Kathy Farmer, out-doorjournalists; Ann Snow, owner of a Texas hunting ranch, and Bass 'N Gal's Bobbie Rowden.

"We want to open up the outdoors to women single, young divorcees, and those who are married to husbands who don't enjoy the outdoors," said Joan Cone. A monthly news letter is pub- lished by Outdoor Women that goes to all members. It is believed that when the membership grows the new letter will develop into a mag- azine and will inform its members on the practical, techni-I cal, and political side of their sports. ALREADY THE organization --has held a hunting and fishing workshop for women. These work-Ishops are planned for all states.

Outdoor Women will lobby with -other groups to sponsor responsi-t ifcle legislation that affects natural Resources, hunting and fishing. In the field of manufacturing, the -women feel they have been slight- ed. "We can't find fishing equip-. ment, guns or clothing to tit," stated Cone. "We want to educate manufacturers because many of them are ignoring us.
