MANLY MODELS ARE
PROMINENT IN BOYS WEAR

There is less difference between
boys suit models and young mems
models, than in previous seasons.
This is due to the fact that the young
mems models have become more
youthful in the effort to put spirit
into the garments, the designers have
encroached upon many of the style
details that in the past were charac-
teristic of boys suits.
Yoke backs, panels, knife pleats,
and novelty pocpets are shown with
equal prominence in both boys and
young mems styles and now that
young men have for the time being
discarded the belted coats, we see
less of them in the boys models.
Another meeting point between
the boys and young mems styles is
in the fact that boys models are more
manly. The lad of today, with his
physical training, athletic propensi-
ties, and even military practices, in
school, is developing more premature
ly the athletic figure. Accordingly,
alert designers are making their mod
els more chesty, the waist lines more
accumulated and the shoulders more
erect. Hence, what you see in young
mems models are pretty apt to find
their replicas in the boys styles.
School boys have never been much

THE designers of mems clothes
L seem to have recovered from
their debauch of extreme ornamental
ton in the styling of mems clothes.
The reaction has set in. Last Spring
was the first after the close of the
war-the first opportunity that de-
signers had had for two years to ex-
ercise their designing originality I'M
encountered by the restrictions of the
Government Economy Board which
enforced DEGREES of strict simplicity
in fashioning. 1t was natural when
the ban had been lifted and all re-
straint removed that the designers
shuold burst forth with renewed Wig
or to show the novelty ideas which
they had stored away during the sim
plicity period.
This condition resulted in riot of
fanciful eptions-each designer
veing with his brother to launch a
more extreme or unique conception
many times regardless of good taste
or the tendencies of American ideas
for distinctive refinement
Young men wore these styles SIM
ply because thye seemed to be the
vogue but accepted them with a no.
ticeable reluctance, and as the year
progressed there was an obvious re-
cession to the less ornate designs.
Designers are quick to sense the
acceptance or rejection of their ideas
and mems styles cannot be forced to
the degree that is possible with wo-
mems modes, so that this Spring you
will note a new aspect in the fash
ionng that is more in accord with
refined American tastes.
OF course, younger men will al
ways lean toward some novelty ideas
such as will evidence distinctive
ness in grooming in contrast to the
regulation styles of the older men
and due recognition is accorded to
them in Spring modes.
This, however, will be expressed
more in the cut of the garment than
in decorative treatment Lines of
modelling that lend youthful trim
ness and dash to the figure and en-
phasize physical development of the
athlete, is the keynote of the Spring
: styles.
Full-chested coats with English
shoulders, high line waists, slightly
longer skirts to the coat and more
perceptible flare, are the outstanding
features of the young mems models.
You'll see gradual retirement of
belted effects and not nearly so many
pleat and panel effects as were shown
in last Spring OF Fall lines. These
novelty details, however, will appear
again in the midsummer models of
outing suits so as to carry out the
sport features of midsummer
clothes, but for early Spring, the
modelling will be more quiet and yet
withal, dashing, distinctive, and of
a swagger sprightliness.
Vests are largely of the collarless,
single-breated sort, with hardly any
ornamentation-pleats and pocket
buttons are few.
Trousers continue to be narrow
and trim in cut and those without
cuffs are more popular than the
turn-up sort.
In the lounge suits, some pleats,
Jokes and panels are shown, but for
the most part, what novelty details

Tigers Meet Kentucky 1T
 On Saturday
Few Injuries Sustained From Game With 0gIethorpe
 PetreiS Last Week
By c. W. UNDERWOOD

Sewanee, Tenn, October 20. Special )-The Tigers return ed to the Mountain Sunday afternoon in good shape, with the exception of a few bruises sustained in winning the de- cision over Oglethorpe Univer- sity in Atlanta last Saturday.
 These. bruises were about worked out in the light practice Monday. Tuesday afternoon hard work was the programme in anticipation of fierce scrap with the The game will be played in Lexington, and will be the Tigers second contest this season on foreign soil
 The exceedingly good showing made by the Tigers against Oglethorpe in the first half of the game brought joy to the Sewanee supporters as there was some anxiety as to what the team could do in it's first game away from the home grounds. When twenty one points were rolled up in the first two quarters of play, with Ogiethorpe gaining but little ground against the Tiger players, it began to look as if the Purple warriors had first-class team iii the making; but the reversal of form that took place in the second half when, aside from the fact that the mountain clan failed to score, Oglethorpe annexed thirteen points. has caused some apprehension as to the ability of the Tigers to stop the attack of Kentucky State.

It was straight football that was being played from start to finish. with some for ward passes to tighten the heavy work.

WHAT GEORGE THINKS OF B0MBARDIER WELLS

According to Berkeley, in the London Mall Georges Carpenter is an exceed msiy candid man. That is what the English authority has to say of Car pentiers recent book on boxing. Candor is certainly characteristic or Carpenter in his book. Thus the
 Frcnch champion on Bom bardier Wells: since that night (when Wells was
 knocked out at the N. S. co l always regarded Wells as one of the most pa thetic figures in the ring. Charming graceful. softly spoken, man with gen. erous instincts, a magnificent boxer-aIl this Wells is. but he cannot fight Phy-
 sically he is built for the fighting game; temperamentally he is wholly unsuited Tor It. He IS perhaps the most uncertain champion ever known. Few if any box CTS have made suck woeful failures: and yet, in point of popularity, he is second to none.
 What have the hosts of Wells wor- shipers to say 70 this? Has ,Carpentier

 least interesting problem of the coming boxing season.
 This is what Berkeley thinks of Demp- sey:
 II have learned nothing from the American newspaper accounts of the
 Miske-Dempsey fight beyond that tho

 cater a tornado, terror and so on.
 "All that may be. but the two photo
 graphs of the. contest which I have
 seen do not add anything to my respect
 for Dempsey's boxing powers. In both
 he is siugging at his man without a
 guard or pretense of a guard. Of
 course. Miske may have been practically
 helpless at the moments these blows
 were delivered. but he certainly does not
 look as if he were.
 T' T have many suspicious about
 Dempsey, and the strongest of them is that he is not a boxer in the sense that Carpenter is a boxer Dempsey since he won tine championship from the noun tain of flesh, Willard, has never been hit as am sure Carpenter could and would hit him For that reason it is perhaps regretable that the men are never likely to meet"-Brooklyr Eagle.

 Georges Carpenter failed to prove the other night in Jersey that he's real op- ponept for Jack Dempsey.
 It took the Frenchman entirely too long>to put away the veteran Battling touchdown came as the result of Ogle- thorpe getting the breaks that enabled them to block punt which rolled De- hind the goal line, there is not getting Around the fact that Knox, the fiashy Oglethorpe back, returned punt through the entire Sewanee team for the second counter. This, of course, happens in the best regulated families, and means that the Tigers must develop more ability in tackling if the Kentucky Wildcats are to be taken into camp on their own stamping grounds
 The game with Ogiethorpe developed the further fact that the IlSer nter- ference on end runs is not yet up to par. and considerable work is ahead Of the coaches in this department of the game. The work of the line in the game last Saturday was all that could be asked thus early in the season. Oglethorpe could not gain consistently, and was held for downs on the Tiger ten-yard line where penalty had placed the ball Skidmore and Elan at the tackle posi- tions. and Stivers at center did es- pecially good work in holding the Pe- trels. and plays directed at the Tiger ends likewise availed little. As had been predicted, Cook did stellar work at qua rtsrbacl< and Smith gained many yards when he relieved Council at full back.

 So Leyinsky, as the bell rang, was no menace to Carpenter. The Frenchmsn was not in danger of being knocked out All that he nad to do was to step out, hammer away at the man who has sur vived 14 years of ring warfare-and con tinue hammering until he had dropped him

 Despite ,ne savageness of tue Carpenz tier attack, LeVinsky endured nearly four rounds. That would indicate that Carpentier doesn't pack the deadly power in his arms that has been credited to him. Certainly he is-on his first Amer ican showins-far removed from Dem2- sey in hitting ability

Many Problems Facing

MILLER WOULD EXTEND
POWERS OF p. S. G. HERE
Favors Including Jurisdiction
of Telephone Lines.

It is understood to be Governor-elect
Miller's Idea not only that the New York
city, or First Public Service District,
should be retained but also that It's
powers should be extended to include the
jurisdiction of telephone companies
operating in the district.
Since the public service law was passed
under the administration of Gov. Hughes
all the telephone service and finance in
the State has been handled by the up
State, or Second District. Commission
with headquarters in Albany. There
were numerous reasons at the time for
not loading that burden on the First
District Commission. one of the most
cogent being the work of transit con-
struction that had to be faced In this
city. That work is virtually completed
now and there is no reason why the
commission here should not handle tele-
phone as we'll as other public utilities In
the city.
Few persons can see the need either
of a separate Commissioner of Construc-
ton. such as provided for in the legisla-
ton put through by Gov. Smith.
Those who have been advising Gov
elect Miller on the subject believe that
the reorganization will bring back the
old commission of five. or at least pro-
vide for three, and that the entire work
of regulating all public utilities as well
as of constructing new lines III the dis
trict will be placed on the commission.
Also. in all proba bility, what have been
considered small defects in the pres
ent law by Judge Miller's advisers will
be remedied
Instead of saving money, the system
as now devised of one Public Service
Commissioner with three deputies. and
one Construction Commissioner, with two
deputies. involving more or less of a
duplication of engineers and other en-
ployees. has cost the city more than the
old arrangement Judge Miller. on his
return here next week, will, 1t is un-
derstood. devote considerable time to a
study OF the transit situation.
