Around The Columns
We are devoting considerable
space in this issue to the darlings
of the campus-the pledges. The
boys and girls who sought them
out, studied them, and attached a
song title to their names, report
that this year, as usual, we have
all kinds. To get the lowdown on
the 500 , study the titles at-
tached to their names. Each and
every one was applied only after
due consideration.

COME BACK, JOE
If anyone sees Joe Showme,
tell him to come back to his home
in Room 13, Walter Williams
Hall. Tell him the entire staff is
sorry about the going-over he got
and assure him we'll never give
him the bum's rush again-if
he'll choose his jokes more care-
fully. Our nerves were a bit
frayed or we wouldn't have lost
control the other day when he
insisted on telling us the brand
new jokes he heard from a girl
in Kansas .City. Gags like,
"Thanks for the dance, the pres-
sure was all mine," and "Did
you hear about the guy who
moved to the city when he heard
that the country was at war,"
were a little hard to take when
we were trying to get the maga-
zine to bed. But we'll all be in
good spirits until next deadline
and we miss the little shaver.
We'd make this appeal to Joe
personally but, since he's a fresh-
man and can't read, we're asking
our vast sea of readers to be on
the lookout.
THE TRUTH
We got a good deal of satis-
faction from a remark made by
a professor the day classes
opened this semester. About ten
minutes after the lecture started
a student sheepishly rose from
his seat and shuffled out of the
room. Perhaps the professor was
looking back to the time he was
in the same situation or looking
ahead to the day he'd make the
same mistake. "As a matter of
fact," he announced, "more fac-
ulty members than students find
themselves in the wrong room on
the first day of a new semester."
IRON MIKE
Although he doesn't make the
headlines, "Iron Mike" Fitzger-
ald, the little round man of Mis-
souri football, enjoys the popu-
larity of any of the squad's
flashy backs. His broad, Irish
smile, which even a savage body
block can't wipe away, is as
potent a stimulant to friendship
as anything we have ever seen.
We sent a man down to the gym
to chat with "Blimpy" and pick
up a few biographical facts.
Michael, a St. Louis boy,
learned about football on corner
lots. In those days play didn't
stop until all twenty-two men
piled on one another. Time out
was called for any man who
wished to discuss a point with
his fists. At C. B. C. High Mike
saw action from the fullback
position on the same team that
shed light on the football possi-
bilities of young Robert Steuber
and he played against Bernie
Pepper and Jack Lister. A scout
stopped off long enough to in-
terest him in going to Louisiana
State University but he stayed
there only three months, journey-
ed back to the north and enrolled
at St. Louis U. There he met
Dick Phful, later a Billiken star,
who encouraged him to come to
M. U. Shortly thereafter Mike
came to Missouri and Phful,
who seemed to have changed his
mind about the whole thing, left
Columbia for St. Louis U.
He debunked the predictions
of St. Louis coaches who told
him he was too small to play by
becoming one of the most out-
standing linemen in the confer-
ence. Besides earning the "Iron
Mike" title he is without chal-
lenge the comedian of the outfit.
During the half in a recent game,
Coach Faurot was telling the
boys they weren't using their
heads; they were playing
(Continued on page 4)

"muscle ball." Fitzgerald ambled
within hearing distance and re-
marked, "Not I. I play with me
brains."
His ever-ready wit, and his
tales from true life, are treats on
the team's trips for out-of-town
games. He remembers the 28-0
defeat M. U. gave Oklahoma
last year as his best game. The
high point of his gridiron career,
he says, came in his first game as
a sophomore when he caught a
Christman lateral and ran twenty-
five yards against St. Louis U.
Another incident that stands out
in his mind concerns the day he
rode from a downtown hotel in
Columbus to the Ohio State field.
The bus, over-crowded with foot-
ball players, was escort ed
4
through the busy section of town,
throught a maze of traffic and
pedestrians, by three motorcycle
policemen. He rates Fordham's
Steve Filopowicz a nd Pitt's
George Kracum as the best men
he's ever played against but he
insists he hasn't yet seen a back
to stack up against Bob Steuber.
THE WOMEN
A gang of coeds got together
recently to indulge in their fav-
orite pastime: conversation. In
the course of the afternoon a
pretty blonde addressed a girl
she had been ignoring in a grand
fashion. " I hear Walt offered
you his pin," she said. "Did he
tell you that he once asked me
to wear it?" "No," was the
answer, "but he did tell me there
were some things in his past life
he was ashamed of."
SUMMING UP
A senior who expects to be in
uniform before long was telling
his girl they ought not be mar-
ried until after the war. But she
had a one-track mind and could
see nothing but a honeymoon
train. "Even if it's only for a
little while, darling," she said,
"I'll cook for you, darn your
socks, polish your shoes, lay out
your clothes in the morning and
your pipe and slippers in the
evening, and keep any little place
we get looking neat and homey."
She teasingly added, "What
else could any man ask for?"
"Nothing," he said, "unless
he was evil-minded."
Did you hear about the girl who
went to a masquerade dressed as a
telephone operator and before the eve-
ning was over had three close calls?

OWED TO OUR
VERSE
By Bill Froug
JUST TAKE AN EVENING in the winter-time in the merry merry month of November,
And whatever evening it is brother, Grab It, because it will be one of t ae few ones you'll be able to
remember!
Because you're going to be so tied up in study hall that you imagine you are, in something like a
steel mesh, man . . . . .
But you're not .... . You're a FRESHMAN ! ! !
Yes, you're the boy
Whose only joy
Is making dates - - - -
Who feels quite cool
Toward Sophomore rule,
And jeers at fate.
But don't you bend
And feel your end
Each night at eight.
You bet you do !
THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS is the sweetest girl of all the girls you know . . . . .
But dreaming is about as close as you'll get when you learn that Freshman Rule No. 929 also tells
you when and where to go.
And each soft caress may be sensational in a vision,
But the closest you are likely to come to caressing is if you bump into a queen on Jesse Walk and
have a mild collision.
Yes, you're the Joe
Who'd like to go
To every hop.
Who has a dream
Of every queen - - - -
But that's the stop!
And then you find
What's on your mind
Is quite a flop
You bet you do.
YOUNGER GENERATION
ART
By Jack Dick-Peddie
OH PASS THE LOVING CUP AROUND, don't pass a brother by and if you are under the illusion
that you won't get passed by-
Then may I recommend "ALCOHOL AND YOU" by Anthony J. Nye.
In fact, take a tip from anybody concerning the possibilties of your getting stinko, blotto, or fried,
And it will be the brotherhood from whom you are trying to hide.
Yes, you seem to think
You love to drink,
And guzzle beer.
You sit in back
Of smoke-screened Shack,
And sip with fear.
But don't you know
It's not your show-
And that's quite clear.
You bet you do.
I'M GOING TO BUILD A CASTLE BLUE AND WHITE, I'm going to hold bull sessions every
night.
Which is like some idiot in a mad house singing "I'm Fit to Be TIGHT."
And as for the bull sessions, you can bank on them every evening but don't depend on the "bull" ...
And may I recommend that you attend these sessions wearing trousers of particularly heavy wool!
Yes, you're the pledge
Who tries to edge
Away from Rule.
Who thinks romance
Is only chance - - - -
And part of school.
And then you see,
It's meant to be
That you're the fool.
You bet you are.
EPILOGUE
With the uncertain future
And the glorified past
Of poor noble Freshmen,
Let's hope you can last!

the Campus drug, sipping a coke
and relaxing after the grind of
registering. A regular guy was
the way the boys would describe
Jackie Ferguson. She wasn't
beautiful in the conventional way,
because beauty has to be fem-
inine, That was the last way she
looked after press time, with a
smudge of printer's ink on her
face, a pencil tucked in her dis-
heveled blonde hair, drinking
beer surrounded by a gang of
embryo journalists whose school
day comes to an end when the
last paper is rolled off the presses
in the basement of Neff.
Although there had never been
much said between us, I kind of
took it that Jackie and I would
get together for good one of
these days.
The C. D. was busy, and thick
with smoke from countless Cam-
els and Phillip Morris' that curled
up and away from the crowded
booths. I tossed away the straw
that I had folded into accordion
pleats and looked at the people
about us. "A particular kind of
people these college students," I
said mostly to myself. "Look at
these kids. They dress alike: tan
sweaters, saddle shoes and khaki
hats. And the gals don't have any
more variety."
"These cokes are getting you
down, big shot," Jackie drawled
in her Texas fashion. "You'd bet-
ter stick to beer . . . besides,
how would you classify that?"
I followed her gaze to the
fountain. He was standing there
in the center of a crowd of gab-
bing students. But I'd never seen
a person look more alone. He
was trying to order a coke or root
beer, I guess, unable to attract
the attention of the fountain boy
squirting brownish fluid into
partly-iced glasses. He appeared
as out-of-place in that crowd as
W. C. Fields at a W. C. T. U.
convention; otherwise, he might
have looked like any other Ag
student fresh off the farm. He
was wearing a pair of brown
denim pants, a rough blue work
shirt, open at the collar, and his
sleeves were rolled up displaying
a pair of browned, heavy arms.
He looked no different from five
hundred other students, except
for the expression on his face.
I've always taken pride in my
powers of description, but I'll be
damned if I can put in words the
look about him as he waited to
get his drink. It was the look of
someone you might see at a
party, happy he's received an in-
vitation but sorry he's come be-
cause he doesn't know anyone.
He was the kind of guy who did-
n't want anything from anyone
. . . except a friendly word.
I had just about forgotten him
when, a few days later, he came
in at the Student office and asked
for the sports editor. I was argu-
ing with Bill again over some
crack about Stephens I wanted to
put in my column. I looked up
and there he was, wearing the
same denim pants and a T-shirt.
"I'm Alan Welch," he said
simply and I was surprised at his
careful pronunciation. "I'm a
transfer from Cape Teachers,
going into journalism." Here his
poise and asurance seemed to
leave him. "I . . . I thought . . .
I figure I might get some helpful
training for journalism school
writing for the Student."
"Glad to know you, Alan," I
answered glibly and introduced
Bill. "You want to write sports?"
He nodded. "I'm out for foot-
ball and I wrote sports for two
years at teachers' college."
"O. K. Alan," I said. "I guess
we can take care of you."
You couldn't help liking the
guy. He had a way of listening
to you that made you feel im-
portant. He never said much but
when he did it was worth hear-
ing. Alan was no slouch on the
football field, either. He stood
over six feet and weighed close
to one-ninety, but to him football
was something he had to play in
order to go to school. The new
conference ruling had made him
eligible and he had a good job
in the Gym.
I don't know how it came
about, but without any particular
desire on my part, I took him
under my wing. One day he told
me he had saved anough money
to buy a suit and asked me to
he-,, pick it out. Later he told
me it was the second suit of
clothes he had ever owned.
Through me he got to meet
some of the big-wigs around the
school, and, as he was accepted
into their inner circle, his shy-
ness wore off. He was intelligent,
of that there was no doubt, and
he had a real writing ability. He
had nursed the desire throughout
the time he had left school to
help run his father's farm. He
had found time to work, edit a
paper, and play All-state foot-
ball in high school. What he
lacked most of all was the polish
that comes from social inter-
course. Now he was getting that.
It was Jackie who brought to
my attention the metamorphosis
of Alan Welch. At the Dale one
Saturday night after a home
game she spotted him walking in
with a smooth date. He looked
pretty good in a grey tweed suit,
white buttoned-down collar and
maroon knit tie.
"That Welch boy is a pretty
nice article," Jackie said, nod-
ding her head. "H'ya people,"
Alan waved at us as he went by.
As the football season moved
toward its climax and the Tigers
proceeded towards a champion-
ship and a bowl bid, I plunged
wholeheartedly into the job of
filing for I. N. S. and a string of
papers in the Big Six area besides
pumping out copy for the campus
and local paper. Life became an
interesting pattern of two-page
releases, deadlines, snatched
meals, and beer. Even my room-
mates weren't seeing me, except
in the evenings when we settled
down in our tiny living room for
a beer and a bull-session.
The chips were down for the
Oklahoma game. The town was
filled, both with football visitors
and an electric tension of expec-
tancy that seems to pervade
everything. The game, of course,
is history. As the gathering dusk
slipped down into the hollowed

The Sporting Thing
Three and three make six. Our
juvenile knowledge of high school
mathematics prompts us to this con-
clusion, but each group of three
can be totally different. This is cer-
tainly the case in the Valley Con-
ference as three weak sisters and a
trio of roaring, hurtling ball clubs
compose the Big Six.
With a slide-rule, Doyle odds, or
just plain 'football knowledge, no
mortal can figure Kansas, Kansas
State, or Iowa State in the same grid
category as Missouri, Oklahoma and
Nebraska. They have one thing in
common: they are all brother schools
in the Big Six.
Philistines might scoff and refer
you to the endless scroll of figures
preserved about Big Six scores. We
grant that one of the "little three"
comes up with a fair club once every
few years. They have been good! So
did Chicago University in the golden
days of Judge Walter Eckersall. But
this argument bears no weight,
friends. Since 1935 no team has won
the Conference crown without a for-
warding address in Norman, Lincoln
or Columbia.
Possibly the heart of one of the
coaches of the "BIG THREE" will
swell up to the size of a pea and
bust some day. Then he will lend
some second or third stringers to
Ames, Manhattan, or Lawrence to
liven up competition. The Big Six
is weaker than usual this year but
there is a definite drop from what-
ever team will end up in third place
to the outfit occupying the fourth
post. We will attempt to prove how
well second - let's even make it
third-stringers could do for one of
the other schools.
Take Missouri for example It is
known far and wide that the Bengals
have a talented array of young ath-
letes working out on Rollins Field.
As some wise philosopher once
phrased it, "Not just eleven good
men, but thirty or more good men
make up a great football team." And
20
Missouri has her quota. Let's give
our third team to Kansas. Let's see
now. .
We'll open with the ends. Sticky-
fingered Bob Wren, 182-pound soph-
omore occupies the third team's left
flank. The same Bob who caught a
42-yard Darr aerial against Wiscon-
son. Big Jack Van Dyne holds down
the other terminal post. These ends
are tough-just look at the four
ends above them (Morton, Ekern,
Shurnas, and Lister) and you'll see
four good reasons why these two are
tough yet relegated to the third
string.
Next come the tackles. Stan Schultz
would fit in at one and 201-pound
Don Ghrist, also a sophomore, at the
other. Would these two tackles-
currently playing on the Bengal third
team-help Kansas? Can a fish
swim? Can Beazeley pitch?
And now for the guards: The
sunshine state of California blessed
Coach Faurot with the person of
216-pound John Reginato. Paired
with John on the third outfit we
find Bill Ekern, sophomore brother
of Bert and a lithe youngster seem-
ingly riveted together. Four letter-
men guards are keeping this pair
down.
Joe Morrow, well known to parti-
sans who have viewed the Tigers in
action on the home green this fall,
occupies center. This heavyweight
is tough and has seen action-and
lots of it-because of an injury to
first team Jeff Davis. A fine line-
backer and an accurate snapper-
back, Joe would fit well into our
scheme of things.
Why are these powers on the third
team? Because the Bengals have
four lettermen at end, four at tackle,
four at guard, and one at center.
Reason enough.
We'll launch the backfield with
keg-legged Ed Gerker at blocking
back. Ed has seen a lot of time in
varsity tilts this year despite the
obvious disadvantage of playing be-
hind "Glee" Adams and "Pumpkin"
Pitts, two more M-men. Ed handles
the ball well, knows how to fake
or lateral from the T, and is a crush-
ing blocker and tackler. Built like
an army tank and just as solid, Ed
will call our signals.
Our two halves lack experience
but their team will not lack ground
gained. Both are sophomores. We'll
have Harold "Bus" Entsminger at
left half and Wilbur Volz at right.
Bus clip-clopped his way for a 35-
yard run against Ft. Riley and
streaked 91 and 44 against Rolla's
first team in a Missouri "B" game.
He can pass, too. Sorta tough play-
ing behind Steuber, Wade and Darr,
isn't it Bus? Volz is one of the few
good athletes from Illinois who did-
n't sign all the effluvia of registra-
tion at Champaign. He is fast and
powerul. Volz plays the same spot
that Bowen (when he is without
crutches), Carter, and O'Hara work
from.
Big Keith Parker operates at full-
back. He is big and fast and explos-
ive. A couple of fellows who sign
their checks "Don Reece" and "Fred
Bouldin" handle the fullback spots
on the first and second teams. That's
why Keith is No. 3.
Would this ball club win more
games for Kansas this fall than their
present eleven. The answer is spelled
"Si" in Barcelona.

Oh - - Happy College Days!
This is the age to be in Col-
lege . . . nothing to worry about.
Youth! It's wonderful!
Take Jenny, for instance. Now,
Jenny made up her mind when
she was . . . (but that's another
story.) So Jenny arrived for Rush
Week. This is a typical example
of the carefree joy of college
life. Jenny hadn't a thing to
worry about. She didn't know a
soul in the really "big" sororities;
but then, there were only two
hundred and forty nine other
girls being rushed, and Jenny had
been around quite a bit. If, by
some chance, she wasn't asked to
pledge, she didn't have a place
to live-what with the crowded
housing - she would probably
have to move in with the sailors.
But this was college-nothing to
worry about.
Two days later Jenny sat quiet-
ly in her hotel room with six other
girls, having hysterics. Nobody
had invited them upstairs. At
every house, Jenny sat and
watched much less attractive girls
being led into the mysterious
upper regions, to come back with
secret smiles and hugs from the
actives. And Jenny sat. If it
hadn't been college, Jenny might
have worried. Hysterics are part
of the fun of Rush Week.
Jenny pledged! College is full
of surprises. So is Missouri. The
weather suddenly turned frigid
and Jenny's trunk didn't come.
The sorority was wonderful. They
gave her ribbons, dates, and pres-
tige--but no blankets. So Jenny
took cold.
Blind date week! This was one
of the happiest times of college
life. Here it might be added that
Jenny was a transfer and a full-
fledged junior. The fraternity
pledges seemed a little young,
but then, as Jenny pointed out,
she'd rather have a healthy fresh-
man than a 4-F upperclassman.
Her first date was a freshman-
4-F. Happy, happy days. True, he
treated her with respect, sort of
like taking his house mother to
the picture show.
Jenny's trunk still hadn't come
and there were those who thought
her cough sounded tubercular.
But she skipped happily down to
blind date after blind date. There
was a buck-toothed legacy, and
then came the big night in her
life-Lochinvar complete in his
zoot suit. Lochinvar, it developed,
went steady, and was anxious for
blind date week to end so he
could settle down again.
Friday afternoon J en n y
clutched her catalogue and went
to register. She walked in and
inquired where she might find her
advisor. The boy she addressed
literally snorted and answered,
"Sister, you don't get any advice
around here." So Jenny made out
her own program leafing at ran-
dom through the catalogue. It
proved quite interesting. She
ended up with eighteen hours
which some vulture readily ap-
proved. After hours of standing
in line they. snatched away her
money, her copies of her sched-
ule, and any evidence whatsoever
that Jenny had enrolled in a sin-
gle course. So she plodded hap-
pily home, late for dinner, to try
and figure out what it was she'd
decided to take.
Jenny saw her first football
game in her new fall suit. They
said it was a series of brilliant
plays, but to Jenny it was just a
series of chills.
With blind date weekend a
happy haze of memory, Jenny
bounced into her eight o'clock
class Monday morning. The tea-
cher gave them the names of two
books to be bought, immediately,
both of which he had written. It
sounded like a fascinating course,
lecture five days a week and lab
from eight to twelve on Saturday.
After lunch Jenny hurried back
to the book store to get all ready
for her classes. She came out
hours later, bruised, twenty dol-
lars lighter, and full of eager an-
ticipation for her studies.
Thursday our little heroine
was called into the Dean's office
to explain her consistent absence
from eight o'clock class. Jenny's
original schedule and her recon-
structed version proved to have
differences. The Dean heard her
story and her cough, and with a
negative wagging of the head,
straightened out the mess.
Friday Jenny's trunk came. By
this time she had begun to feel
like one of Bernard McFadden's
health disciples, and blankets
gave her insomnia. Also, she'd
gotten rather attached to the
dress she'd been wearing all
week and her two roommates
were comfortably settled in the
two closets-so she just left the
trunk in the basement. Every day
of college life brought some add-
ed joy. Jenny had never known
a happier time.
We leave Jenny as another
weekend is filling her life with
excitement. We catch our last
glimpse of her as she sits happily
at her second college football
game. Rain has turned her new
felt snap brim into a jeep hat;
water courses merrily down her
upturned face; and she sloshes
up and down exictedly as the
team scores a touchdown.
Nothing is so much fun as
college. Just ask Jenny. You'll
find her in the third bed on the
right as you enter the hospital.
She's the one with the pale pink
pneumonia jacket.

Success Story
(Continued from page 16)
stadium late in the final quarter,
it looked as if our cause was
hopeless. Oklahoma's six points
looked bigger than ever. Then a
gold-clad Tiger picked a Sooner
punt out of the air and set out
for the opposite goal line. Sev-
enty-eight yards later Al Welch
crossed the last chalk stripe and
then kicked the extra point.
When the gun cracked, Missouri
had its championship.
I was surprised when I called
Jackie's house to take her to the
blowout at the Pennant that
night. I hadn't asked her before
you know; I had been much too
busy. I figured she had taken a
ride over with some of the
others.
The party was a big success
and I was tight before I knew it,
accepting congratulations for the
team's victory as if I were the
coach. Most of the prayers were
there, letting their hair down
after a long season. Only the big
hero, Welch, seemed to be miss-
ing. Then I saw them.
They were dancing in an ad-
joining room and there was a
strange light in Jackie's eyes,
something I had never seen be-
fore. She looked small, almost
frail, in his arms and her face
arrested me. It wasn't the wise-
cracking face that I had known.
Somewhere, the hardness and
cynicism had fled from it; only
tenderness remained.
I felt the touch of a hand on
my arm and Bud handed me a
telegram. I opened it and began
searching for my hat and coat.
"Where're you going?" he
asked.
"Home," I answered dully. The
Star-Times wants me to wire to-
night . . . a 'success story' on

Between classes in Jesse Hall, the newly
acquired seekers of higher (???) education of
this brain-factory can pick up many pointers on
sartorial correctness on the M. U. campus to help
in their readjustment process. In groups about the
water-fountain and corners of that antiquated but
stately edifice one can observe the Missouri male
at his best--promoting a coke at C. D. with a
cute Tri Delt, or a-date for the game with that
little blonde Theta pledge. Bob Fay, Sigma Nu,
can be seen in the Kappa corner discussing the
difficulties of making the Great Lakes game with
Patty Kewley .... both wearing herring-bone
shetlands of the same pattern, tailored by
Simpson's. Our local 1'homme elegant advocates
casualness as the key-note for the class-room, vot-
ing the corduroy jacket as most popular for those
short naps in that dull eight o'clock. Prac-
tical, too; you can get 'em dirty as hell if you
get a dark shade like that one Tony Rolpe, Z. B. T.,
wears. Along with flannels or coverts, you're all
set for a jelly date at Gaeb's.
However, old man, don't forget those perennial
saddle shoes,-they've worn many a groove in
Jesse's steps and are as much a part of M. U.
as Jay School's lions.
Perhaps his nibs prefers not to wear a coat
for the afternoon "Prayer meeting" at the Shack
-well, buddy, a white cable-stitch sweater is your
best deal. Spotted Gene Rene, SAE, wearing one
at the game Saturday with his new Simpson
brown stripe suit. Ted Stoltz, Sigma Nu pledge,
and Simpson alumnus, favored grey flannel and
Babs McFarland, Gamma Phi, for the game. Inci-
dentally, no one ever mingled with the campus
intelligentsia without a station-wagon coat, and
take it from an old beat-up Junior, you'll be happy
when that Columbia H20 pours down. Saves your
topcoat and cleaning bills, too!
Striped and Glen-Urquhart plaid shetlands pre-
dominate in the better campus wardrobes. With
one of these cut in a two-button straight hanging
job, with semi-notched lapels and outside ticket
pocket, worn with a pair of flannels and you're
ready to send Steuber bounding for the goal posts.
Ran into Jane Haggerty, Kappa, and Phil
McGrath, Kappa Sig Simpson rooter, at the Shack
after the Iowa State massacre. He preferred a
black basket-weave for the occasion, causing a
total black-out in the booth with the help of the
elaborate lighting system. Grey flannel and blue
sharkskin are hotter than Dixie's beer for week-
end parties also. They're best tailored Windsor
style with the lapel rolling to the last button with
a ticket pocket. Should be straight-hanging,
though or they get tight over the hips. What about
a top-coat? Well, the lads who diligently read
their Esquires go for double-breasted camel's hair
numbers, but a cravenetted whip-cord is smart and
practical as it wears better.
Since W. P. B. raised a disapproving finger,
we find Joe U. minus several inches of cloth in
general. However, our cuffless campus Romeo can
still obtain a "solid set of threads" (to use the
vernacular of our Harlem brethren), as a fairly
long coat is still allowed plus the flaps on ticket
and breast pockets. The 26" knee went out with
S. G. A., though, but a good taper is permissible.
Tails and double-breasted are taboo, but a single-
breasted make up with a shawl collar and square
corners is a good substitute.
