Nothing is given about the male athletes so we can't tell 1 is correct.
We don't no weather all athletes are women Or some are men so we can't say 2 is correct.

Here we need to follow the Rules:
No women teacher can play: Means: Answer should be in negative.
Male athletes can play: Means: This will not follow because here we are not talking about Male.
Some athletes can play: Means: This will also not follow because I already told you answer should be in negative.
No women teacher can play: Means: Answer should be in negative.
Male athletes can play: Means: This will not follow because here we are not talking about Male.
Some athletes can play: Means: This will also not follow because I already told you answer should be in negative.

Male athletes can play - The first statement states 'No women teacher can play'; we have no idea who can play, so we cannot assume statement 1 to be true.
Some athletes can play - The first or the second statement do not tell us who can play. The second statement states that 'Some women teachers are athletes' which is adding a fact to the first statement given, but still does not tell us who can play.
