The Woman's Club of El Paso : its
first thirty years by Mary S. Cunningham on Reserve. Copies y at VV
library and UTEP at HQ1906.E4C86. Also at the public library at various
branches at
367.9764962 CUN. p.93 mentions that the Woman's Club gave $100 to
the YMCA building fund and the newspaper article reference is El Paso Herald Dec
1, 1906. So browsing the newspaper microfilm on that date and before will
be useful.

Call and ask the staff before you go down (915-543-5440), if there is an entry in their vertical file. This is a collection of photocopied articles on a person or topic.
In addition, check the newspaper card catalog to see other articles available. You would then have to search for the article in the microfilms, ask at the reference desk around the corner from the readers for help.

Mr. Charles Titus, Executive Director and P.C. Jacobus, Physical Director of
the YMCA started girls' basketball as a local competitive sport in 1909.
So this gives two names to search as well.
