Matched Clothing
One the other hand, Schacht
portrayed as much harmony in
his wear as a set of matched
golf clubs. He knew just how
far out of the chest pocket a
handkerchief should protrude,
his trouser lengths were always
correct, he seemed to under.
stand color combinations, knew
what would go with which and
never overdid a single thread.

You can do a lot with those

golf without a tie than with.
Long trousers with roomy hips

Tommy Armour and his brother
Sandy were always well turned
out when they frequented
Congressional-just as much so
as the famed Johnny Farrell,
called the best dressed golfer of
them all, who is very arresting
whenever on public view.

Sonny Workman and Don
Meade display as much class in
their choice of street apparel
as they do technique in plotting
home the winners. Good dress
is more or less a trait among the
craft they represent, many of
the better known boys depend

make up for stature which they
dare not attain.

Lou Little a Dresser
Lou Little is a ringleader in
intercollegiate football coaching
circles in both my gridiron
book and my fashion records
what ones I possess. The Co.
lumbia coach, who labored at
Georgetown rather successfully
for five years before needing
the call to greener pastures,
has not permitted himself to
take on weight with advancing
years. and he is always the
quintessence of good dress. For
some time after going to
Columbia, he was still sending
to Washington for his suits. I
don't know whether any Fifth
Avenue tailor has wooed him
since.
Such examples of superiority

ages who have made their
marks in Washington are not
conjured up for review so much
because they dress extensively
as because they dress with
taste in keeping with their
individuality.
One would probably look like
a scream in the others be-
longings, and vice versa, but
they have the label of good
dressers. I believe it lends
them a bearing of personal
well-being.
Don't we all feel little more
substantial when we are salts
fled with our looks?
