The Male Angle
By Harry keene

Before very long, you'll be md
ing yourself preparing to 60 back
to college, and undoubtedly you
will start perusing your closet to
see how much attention your ward
robe requires. I will try to help
you choose the clothes you'll need
and to give you some important
pointers that will save you time.
money and disappointments when
you arrive on your campus.
The most important thing to
realize is that undergrads across
the country are not carbon copies
Of each other but that their ward
robes vary according to the climate
and customs Of their schools To-
Gale. While certain items like the
Norwegian moccasin are basic and
universally worn throughout the
country, major clothing choices
vary and unless you know these
differences you may find yourself
sticking out in the crowd and COM
PEELED to purchase additional items

Four Geographic Areas.
Dressing habits can be fairly
well broken down into what stu
dents wear at schools located In
four geographic sections. These
sections are the East, Midwest,
South and Far West. A sectional
pattern Of dress because Of climate
and customs is generally followed.
Therefore. my future recommen-
dations for your back-to-school
wardrobe will be given on this
basis.
You'd be smart if you bought
the bulk Of yoVr wardrobe at home.
In addition to saving time and
trouble when you get into the hec-
tic first few weeks at school, the
family charge account shouldn't
be ignored entirely! Although It's
still warm and the summer isn't
quite through. start your shopping

REDSKINS Niemi Rated
Top Tackle Prospect
Reporting This Year
By Lewis r. Atchison
Ssor Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 10
Laurie Niemi's first full day in
the Redskins training camp was
proof enough that George Halas,
the Chicago Bears papa. wasn't
stretching his Imagination when
he called him the best college
tackle drafted by a pro club this
year. Niemi bowled over oppo-
nents like duckpins In his first
line scrimmage.
Line Coach Turk Edwards
moved him around to see If a
change of personnel made any
difference, but the broad-beamed
blond was equally devastating
against AL Demao. Bob Hendren
and Herb Siegert. And this was
just after Head Coach Billick
Whelchel. speaking at football
writer's luncheon, said he in
tended to use Niemi more than
even the player or his former
coach, jeff Cravath, suspected.
Slated for Left Tackle.
Niemi will play the same posi-
ton, left tackle, as John Konis-
zeWski, John Sanchez and Fred
Boensch and his performance to-
day was fair warning that he's
out to grab the No. defensive
job. Stretching 6-1 and weighing
245. he looks big and strong
enough to do it.
Cravath. who saw Niemi play
enough with Washington State to
get line on him, says .the Red
skins drew the prize package when
they selected the serious. but
goodnatured Finn. Cravath
agrees with Herman Ball the
Tribes chief scout. that Niemt Is
like quiet, but efficient police
man who keeps things running
smoothly on his beat.
Len Szafaryn, tackle at North
Carolina last year, has been
shifted to guard on of1ense and
end on defense. He made his ini-
tial appearance at the wing in last
Saturdays scr1mmage and did
amazingly well. He tore sharply
on several plays before Johnny
Badasczewski took note and ap-
piled the brakes. Szafaryn wears
a perpetual grin. moves quickly
and seems to have football savvy.
He should make the squad.

The Tribe was lucky this year

scathed.

In the backfield has aroused
speculations concerning which
players will make the grade, but
the appearance of two linemen

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1e.-
A thoroughly chastened Steve
Bagarus is striving for a half
back post with the Redskins.
The suave. dashing youngster
whose circus-pony prancing
thrilled thousands of shrill-
voiced admirers a few short
years ago is quieter now and
more settled. The unfeigned
air of confidence has given
away to a more serious, even
anxious mein.
Four years ago Steve baked
at signing a generous contract
and had to be coaxed into the
Wigwam. This year he gladly
accepted a smaller figure and
thus far there is no indication
he will make good. For one
thing the slick, raven-haired
Hungarian is overweight for
the first time in memory.
Weight might be a minor mat
ter if his legs had their old
resiliency. The spring that
catapulted Little Boy Blue
around the football field like a
human pogo stick seems
sprung, slightly.
Bagarus still is trying to
prove that Jack Jacobs leg
shattering tackle two years ago
didn't take the bounce out Of
his pins. but it's going to be a
difficult, almost magical task.
Steve isn't sure Jacobs didn't
try to break him up deliberately
on that ill-fated play.
He tried to wiring my head
of q few minutes before. but
I don't know why he would
have a grudge against me-"
says Stevie. I'VE never had any
