Lillian Blackman and Sophia Wehrly posing with field-hockey equipment

Photograph of two women posing with field-hockey sticks and a ball. They are wearing matching blouses, skirts, neckerchiefs, and shin guards. They are standing on the roof of what is likely the Portland YWCA building at Southwest Taylor and Broadway, which was demolished in 1959. The building in the background is the Jackson Tower, where the Oregon Journal offices were located from 1912 to 1948. A cropped version of this photograph was published on Page 10 of the Oregon Journal on April 24, 1927, under the headline "Sports Activities Varied." The photograph was one of two that accompanied a story titled “Y. W. C. A. Sports Program Planned” about spring athletics classes at the Portland YWCA.
