Big Gun of Battle.

TT IS no great exaggeration to say
that Leemans beat the Citadel last
night. Three of the four touch
downs scored by the Colonials were
made by Tuffy, but the points to his
personal credit were not all Of his
contribution.
Without him, it seemed from the
press box, the Colonials would have
had tough time getting under
winning stride. He was the blast that
set off the rest of the works. His
29-yard run for touchdown on the
eighth play of the game and his sub
sequent gains we're all of note accom-
plished by the Colonials throughout
the first half.
His return to the game in the third
quarter-he remained out of the Sec
ond-got the team started to a de-
cisive score after it appeared the Col
onials would win by an Unexpectedly
small one.
In all the time Tuffy spent on the
field he was bee-busy, running the ball,
tossing it, booting it and playing a
star game on the defense. On the
Citadel's only real scoring threat his
flying tackle of Bill Johnson, in the
clear, was masterpiece
Leemans scored from the 20, and
18 yard lines, but in each instance
his flashing spurts put the ball within
striking distance of the goal. His
kicking and passing were par excel
lent.

First Iron Test Friday.

BECAUSE G. WIS three opponents
n to date, Shepherd College, Den
yer University and the Citadel,
have not been of major calibre, it is a
trifle early to pass judgement on
Leemans, true, but Tuffy has shown
to such striking advantage at the ex-
pense of his fellow backs, some highly
touted, that none may deny he is
potentially a great star.
His first iron test will come next
Friday night when the Colonials

This game also will prove whether
G. w. has a f1rst-class team, as
thought certain when they began the
season. So far the line has been all
one could ask, with a lapse or two,
such as last night when the center
of it was Sapped on a faxed reverse
for one Of the Citadels few healthy
gains.
But the backf1eld has been a dis
appointment. 1t was mediocre against
Shepherd, barring Leemans; failed to
coordinate against Denver, and
against The Citadel 1t was extremely
spotty. AS a unit, it appeared best
last night when Ben Plotnich scored
from the 12-yard line, with the other
three members all carrying out their
assignments perfectly.
Plotnicki Elates Coaches.
THE coaches had reason to be
elated over the showing OF
Plotnicki, junior, whom they
seemed to doubt a while back would
do. Ben carried the ball 16 times for
an average gain of 7h yards. He
was almost as active and effective in
this respect as Leemans, who ran 18
times for an average of 10 yards.
Ben, too, punted with better than
average effect.

it didn't count. A Colonial was

Wins in Family COnfab.

THE parents called In the grand
parents to make the decision, in
accordance with Belgian custom.
Tuffy got the verdict with swelling
heart. Foot ball was the thrill Of his
young life and at George Washington
University lay the opportunity to play
the game for all its worth.
For two years Alphonse returned,
after school, to Allouez, there to carry
on as the same old Tuffy, unaffected
despite bit of fame, known and liked
by all in the community. The old
folks were pleased, if not little proud.
We've gathered all this from vSi-
tors to the Leemans family)
But now the career of Tuffy Lee
mans seems about to take swift turn.
There are very strong indications that
the George Washington halfback is
about to flash across the foot ball sky
like comet; that Tuffy Leemans will
break the bounds Of local fame and
hoist himself to a spot occupied only
by sport heroes who outgrow locali-
ties and become the property of all
Truth to tell, the Leemans boy is
headed for the fame that spoils-spoils
some. Back in Allouez the older folks
have heard of such in foot ball way.

Old Folks Bit Skeptical.

WI THAT if Alphonse becomes one
wv of those All-Americans? Will
it change him?
We think not. His playmates and
coaches say positively not. The stu
dent body at George Washington,
which knows Tuffy as a most unas-
suming, thoroughly likeable and eff
cient student, probably will concur.
But the old folks at HONEYWELL,
now!
1t isn't idle talk about Leemans and
an all-America place. His name al
ready this season has sizZled over the
news wires with fancy figures attached.
His teams will meet the standard OF
foes in the next month and half that

BELGIAN FAMILY
HAS QUAINT IDEAS
Don't Want Tuffy Changed,
Fear AII-America Spot
That Beckons Him.
BY ROD THOMAS.
TITLE BELGIUM, otherwise Al

louez, Wis, rang the welkin
today because Alphonse Tuffy
Leemans, who beat The Citadel
for George Washington last night,
played another great game of foot
ball, and Tuffy is its idol.
But lurking in the hearts of some
of the older folks of the all-Flemish
settlement outside of Superior, may
be a little fear. Quaint folk, the
BelgianS who came over from the
conservative land of the poppy, are
rigidly so tni the old-world ways.
Before the 19-year-old Tuffy packed
his grip for Washington a clan con-
ference was held. Some doubted the
advisability of sending the lad to col
lege. The means were at hand. Tuf-
fly was bright enough to make all
class room grades, as proved in high
school. But none before him OF the
Leemans family had gone to college.
This was something new.
The question was: IF we send AL
phonse to college, will he come back
to us the same, unchanged lad we
love? Will the higher education and
different environment ween the boy
from the things that he and his peo-
pie of Allouez hold SO much In
common?"

Mystery Man About Town Wears
We'll Planned Browns

Of the Pan American Building.
What a chance for them to
break out in light suits.
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull was there in summer
clothes, forming part Of the
minority in light dress. He
wore a dark blue flannel coat
with white flannel trousers.
Smiling Billy Horton, Briga-
der General, U. S. A., who adds
pomp and ceremony to any
formal evening, had on a nat
ural-colored Suit-either linen,
palm beach, or some tropical
material.
Braces to match every suit
that's the thing. I learned
that from someone who literally
hauntS this column.
Jack believes that if you buy
a fine suit that you can keep
for years, the style comes back
many times. He wears English
clothes and is now wearing a
suit he had way back in col
lege. He's now almost 80. This
suit is double-breasted in a
green-gray flannel, with faint
chalk stripe. He wears brown
calf shoes with lt-and pin
stripe shirt, very sporty!
Corrin Strong, quiet and good
looking, was comfortably dressed
for a warm day downtown in a
white linen suit with which he
wore a light tan madras shirt
and a brown tie. Think the hat
was a Panama.
Who is that man about town
with the black "crisco" hair?
He dresses so sportily-that I
am forced to comment. The
other day he was a study in
brown and white-a combina-
ton which seems to be having
a run for its money this season.
His trousers were cinnamon
color whip cord, and his coat
was double breasted white palm
beach. The shoes were brown.
the shirt tan and the tie brown.

Shirt Patterns
Are Lively

Stripes, checks, deep tones,
many colors. these things
make mems shirts so much more
interesting than they've been
for years. Small self figures
look well in shirts too, and are
worn by many men too con-
sentative to go in for checks or
the more noticeable striped ef-
fectS.
You're familiar already with
the deep-toned shirts that the
best dressed men about town
are wearing. Deep blue, just
about royal, navy blue, and &C.
casional black, lighter blues and
grayS seem to be leading. Vel
low is good too but could
scarcely be termed deep tone.
There are a few men wearing
deep wine tones, but very few.
Wider spaced stripes are COM
ing in, and rather widely spaced
checks are excellent. Finer
checks seem more conservative
however, and many men are
wearing them. OF course, dur
ing hot weather the majority Of
shirts seen are white, but men
are fast getting on to the fact
that a patterned shirt doesn't
show whiting quite as soon.

Cotton Ties
Popular

Not even experts on mems
fashions expected the enormous
popularity of cotton or wash.
able ties this summer. It's Just
one of those things that sprang
UP overnight.
Summer Is essentially Q
sportswear season, with men
wearing everything that Is
sportier, more comfortable,
easily laundered and more
youthful looking. That's why
the cotton tie fits so perfectly
into the picture.
Another reason is that cot
tons don't look like cottonS.
Some are frankly cotton, Of
course, but other initiate almost
any material you might like.
Their colorS are gay or subdued
as you please, and patterns are
practically unlimited. Weaves
are substantial, and the fabrics
have enough body so they will
come through the washtub with
out any of the difficulties you
might imagine.
1t seems that the only part
Of the country that is not cot
ton tie conscious is the far
South. It's probably just case
of having too much cotton there
already.

band of each hat. That's a
smart note that had its origin in
the Tyrol. A feather will add a
sports look to almost any hat,
and will give your old felt or
straw a dressed-up look.
Mesh Polo Shirt
In one Of our pictures, the
young man is about to buy him
self a mesh polo shirt. They've
turned out to be one of the most
popular items Of a summer
sports wardrobe,
TatterSall Trousers
OF growing Importance are
odd trousers of TIA tersall
checked flannel. They're more
popular in gray checks, as gray
is the first summer color, but
are very good looking in tan or
brown combinations. In one Of
the pictures on this page is a
man wearing typical Tattersall
trousers, in grey checks. His
sports coat is navy flannel, his
shirt lightly checked in blue,
and his tie royal blue. He wears
one of the new gray Palm Beach
belts.
Summer Robes
The new lounging or beach
robes are good to look at. and
practical, too, as they serve a
triple purpose. You can wear
them over your bathing suit, in
the house as a bath robe, or as
a lounging robe. for they're
quite good looking enough.
We have one photographed
for you today. It's of a soft
cotton Suiting, firm enough yet
light weight. It's in good
looking plaid mixture, gray and
black predominating, and has
big pearl buttons and fringed
sash. It's only $1.95 in a local
store. If you've looked for good
robes, you know that's an un-
usual price.
Odd Mixture
This fashion of white or light
coat and dark trousers still pre-
walls. In fact it looks like it
will be taken up by most of the
male population by the end of
the summer. It's an especially
cool idea. as coats cause much
more discomfort than trouS-
ers, and are Of lighter mate
rails usually. It's a practical
idea, too, as trousers get the
hardest wear,

A tie clasp may be a small
article of dress, but it does help
you keep 9 neat, Well-dressed ap-
pearance in the summer. With
out a vest it's almost essential to
have some method of keeping
your four.in,hand in place, and
keeping the summer winds from
blowing it about.
There are two new clasps out
that rival each other in practi-
cality, and both are smart. It's
hard to know which to recon-
mend, so take your choice. Both
have the same primary virtue,
the tie slips through and is not
held in the clip, so that it
doesn't get Wrinkled.
One clip has a chain that goes
over the tie, while the clip &C.
tually holds onto the shirt. The
smallest gold-filled chain is all
that shows over the tie, and
gold-filled clip underneath as
SureS firmnesS.
Huge Safety Pin
The other type is a huge
safety pin, the sort I believe that
is worn in England to hold an
Ascot in place. It is blunt, slips
through your shirt button, then
clasps right over your tie. It's
loose enough to allow the tie to
slip freely through, so the tie
won't be crushed.
The safety pin is gold-filled.
too, and very good looking.
Each clasp is priced ST.. They're
both new, and both smart.
They're both found in a local
store.
Belts About Town
Two Of the most popular
belts are the woven belt of sail
Irvine, and the cloth belt. The
sail tWine belt is rather gay,
as 1t comes in such colors as
canary yellow, navy, or white.
Cloth belts are of canvas or
Palm Beach cloth. The latter
looks cool and is quite good
looking; comes in gray, tan or
white. These belts are pre-
ferred by some men to the
black and white or black and
tan leather sports belts.
The Newest Hats
Entirely new as far as we
know Is the lightweight Baku
hat. It's so cool, so easy on
your head, that it's pretty sure
to be a summer favorite. We
have one pictured on this page
today, a rather deep tan hat
with white folded crepe band.
The soft light band takes the
dark look away from the hat.
and makes it SpOrtS-like in spite
Of its color. It's priced $3.50
in Q local store.
Another new hat, but not
quite a. "just out the box" is
the Panama with crown high

the pictures, too. It's direct
descendant Of the felt hat
worn by college men and young
men last spring, with crown
very high in front. This Pan
