Skins Bound to Be Gentlemen,
Loops Rules of Conduct Suy

lie functions where the team ap-
pears as unit. shirts, ties and coats
are to be worn, unless otherwise in
structed.
Night clubs, bars. cocktail lounges
and gambling spots are definitely
out of bounds"
Risked Fine for Milk Shake.
1t is cheering to read that the
club is insisting on a well-mannered
squad and we hope the athletes
take note of this. There have been
one or two instances in the past
when rockies were misled, toddling
along with veterans who, apparent
ly, were going out to sit up with
"a sick friend and winding up in
some den of iniquity, such as a
cocktail lounge.
NeWspapermen, of course. have
not been blameless in this matter.
They still tell the story of one
wretch, who telephoned a husky
tackle late one evening.
How about slipping out for a
drink" the correspondent asked?
Sure, but I'll have to go out
the back door and meet you around
the corner so the coach won't see
me-" the tackle replied.
"Where1l we go?" asked the play
er at the rendezvous.
"Oh, I don't care" replied the
scribe. ANY place where I can get
good double-rich chocolate milk
shake"
Lower down on the page the pros
pectus gives more specific rules to
be obeyed, plus the penalty for dis
regarding them.
BE in bed at 11::3O Monday
through Friday; 1890 Saturday;
1:30 Sunday. CUnless otherwise
given permission, the fine is 81 per
minute)"
| More Penalties Provided.
It doesn't say who holds the stop
watch to collect the fees, but one
redeeming feature of this regulation
is that it develops leg muscles of
athletes who have been known to
race up three hotel flights in nothing

rooms or the clubhouse. Zine, $3.50
mo drinking. Zine, $100)
"Be on time for meetings, prac-
tices and pre-game taping. Zine,
81 per minuteD
BE on time for all departing and
returning trains. Zine for missing
train, 5000"
That one cost Bob Seymour a
couple of century notes on the first
road trip last year, but the front
office relented when it found he was
victim of circumstances.
Then, as if properly to impress
the players with the seriousness of
straying from the primrose path, a
couple of pages of league rules
threatening everything but solitary
confinement at Alcatraz-are listed.
This is tough reading, printed in
agate type.
Naturally, every club has one or
two hirsute liberals who like to shun
the old school tie, but the Emily
Post record of the Skins has been
remarkably high. We can say this
1946 squad going to Los Angeles is
of extraordinarily high caliber and
the reminders set down in the book
probably are wholly unnecessary.
OF course, we don't get off this
} train until Sunday morning.

men. 1t says so right here in this
little 1946 prospectus on the club.
But just in case the rockies aren't
aware of it, list of player regula-
tions is included to caution them
against boorishness.
You will be expected to conduct
yourself in such a manner as to
always be credit to the game and
to your club the book says. Good
conduct rules are far too numerous
to outline, but should be familiar

accepted and traditional training

Sam responds because he believes
IN air power and knows that half

joined up are much in evidence here.
They are young in years, but old in
experience. Virtually all 800 officers
attached to the outfit which is to
drop the model "T" A-bomb on
Bikini are veterans Of two or three
years combat duty overseas.
Rows of service ribbons on battle
jackets are in odd contrast to the
youthful appearance of the flyers.
Yet they still speak the language of
old-timers like Sam, who refuses to
stand on seniority while there's a
job Of work to be done.

here that the Army Air Forces part
