The football season is big-date
season for most high school and .
college girls. Even the poorest /
freshman can manage to buy stu /
dent tickets or wangle ducats to /
take his girl to the big game.
There are three types of foot /
ball dates the local game, the /!
out-of-town game and the week
end game
If the game is in her home town,
it gives a girl the opportunity to
change her attire before she goes
out to a party in the evening, either
with the same boy or another; the
out-Of-tOwn game means she must
dress appropriately for game and
dinner and possibly dancing; the
weekend game means she must be
prepared to dress for whatever en-
tertainment her crowd suggests.
The most appropriate football
game outfit is a suit and sports
hat. of course. But if you are not
going 10 have the opportunity to
change later, and must go out
directly after the game, a smart
wool dress is your best bet. This
can be worn with fur jacket,
sports coat or dressy coat so that
you will look well groOmed any
hour of the day.
Your date will not expect you
TO call signals for the game, al
though you should have some work
iug knowledge of what takes place
on the field, unless it is your first
brush with football. If you've never
seen a game before, ask your date
some uuestiOns-at the right mo-
ment. Don't wait until everybody S
ewes are fastened on a particular
play, and try to draw his attention
to you. Act alert, but wait until
there is a lull in the game to gel
your information.
Some girls pretend to know ev
erything about the sport, because
they are embarrassed TO admit the!
do not know the game at all. /
is better to- ask what first down
or a punt" OF a lateral pass" il
than tC make stupid remarks be
cause of your ignorance.
