PENN TRYING TO
 GUARD ATHLETICS
All Track Candidates Must Swear They Never Com
 peted for Coin


 PhiladelphiasF Feb. 2-AIl< candidates for the University of Pennsylvania track team were ordered Saturday to fill out a set of eligibility blanks and return them at once, Or they would not be permitted to join the squad.
 This action of George w. Orton.s the head coach, was taken as a safeguard against the usual hue and cry of pro fessiona1dsm in college athletics every year. so that the eligibility of every member of the Penn team this year cannot be questioned. There are six teen queries in all on the ..ironclads. z as che candidates term the list of questions.
 The most important question is in black faced type and reads: Have you before or since entering the Univ ersity of Pennsylvania engaged for money in an athletic competition either for a stake or money prize. or a share of entrance fees or admission money, or have you taught or engaged in any athletic exercise or sport as a means of livelihood, or have you at any time taken part in any athletic sport or contest for any pecuniary gain or emolument whatever, direct or indirect ?''

and parents who choose boys clothes carefully and with an eye to style will undoubtedly prefer the straight effect for I'ali wear Most manufacturers are making boys suits with an extra pai" of tc"users and practically every re- taller in the country is now selling boys suits in this way The ad- vantage of this system can hardly be overrated, for it is a known fact that a coat usually outliVes more than one pair of trousers and the extra pair of tronsers is often as sCrviceable as two entire suits would be.
 For small boys the Oliver Twist, Dickens, French Suspender and Mic dy suits, as well as the Perennially Popular Russian styles, will be in fla vor and will be shown in woOllen US well as washable materials. These styles are bound to continue in pop ularity, because they are not only practical for small boys but the most attractive novelties that fash ion has created for several seasons.

The Norfolk suit which has been in such popular demand for the past several seasons will be just as popll- lar for Fall wear as ever before. but will not have any box pleats which have heretofore characterized it. In place of the box pleats we find man Ufacturers are substituting the in- verted pleat, which tailors very much more neatly and is a great deal more scrViccable because it cannot be stretched and torn by the average bey who is hard on his clothes. The leading pattern in boys suits will of course. he plain blue serge which is always considered by par ents to be the most serviceable pat tern they could buy for their boys. IL will be closely followed by a num- Der of rough, fancy weaves, such as Homespuns, Tweeds, Cassimeres and Cheviots.
 Trousers on boys suits for Fall will be Knickerbocllers as usual, and
 number of straight legged effects. The demand for the straight trousers has been growing for seasol after

a low gorge and peak.

The convertible collar overcoat for boys will of course. remain the most suitable of all styles, because of the fact that it nas proven its useful ness and service in all kinds of weather. The convertible collar ov ercoat, as it's name implies, is really two styles in one, for during mild weather the collar can be worn flat like a Chesterfield coat, and in cold weather can be buttoned up close around the throat. Manufacturers have now attained such perfection in making these garments that not a single bit of style is sacrificed to gain this double effect and unless one is well posted in the making of these garments, it will be impossible , to tell that the collar is of the con , vertible type.
 The bclted back overcOats will be just as popular for boys as ever be fore, but most of the belts for Fall will be stitched to the coat and
 gathered under the belt, instead of
 being merely sewed to each end and 1 buttOned in the middle.
 Mackinaws for boys will enjoy a i wonderful popularity this Fall and
 perhaps no garment which designers
 have ever created has been so uni versally approved. The original use i of the mackinaw was by lumberme1 i in the northern woods, but manu- , lecturers were quick to appreciate
 the fact that if these garments were
 made a little more stylishly and tail
 ored in a little better way they
 would be ideal for city use in the
 winter months. That their ideas
 were correct is proved by the num-

They will not only be shown in plain colors, but also with cuffs, collars and belts of all contrasting colors. The prevailing colors will be the Tango shades, but there will be, of course, good assortment of blues, browns, olives, reds and tans.
 Boys shirts for Fall will be made very much like those which were 50 appreciated by their fathers during the past season. The Mushroom, or Thousand Pleat, shirt, which was the greatest novelty produced in the shirt field for number of years, will be extensively shown in Fall shirts for boys, and because of the improvements in the method of man ufacture, these shirts will be very moderately priced.
 Hats for boys will also follow the lines of mems hats very closely, bat will, of course, be of smaller pro- portions, though in practically the same ideas. For smaller boys the Tyrolean and RahRah shapes will have the call and will be shown in number of patterns and colors, as well as plain shades of felt.
 Boys overcoats for Fall will nearly all be in the popular Balmacaan style, but a great deal of the un- l tidy looseness and bagginess of the Balmacaan has been eliminated by manufacturers in designing their Fall coats. The Raglan shoulder
 will give way to a plain tailored shoulder, and the kimona sleeve will
 not be made nearly as full as it was
 in the models sold during the Spring
 season. The military collar will be
 replaced by a severely tailored vel
 vet collar and will be made with livery broad lapels, which will have
