quite spell to grow old. When he was
merely 81. Stagg not only was head coach
at College of the Pacific but he was elected
Coach Of the Year over Frank Leahy Of
Notre Dame.
At IS he was co-coach with his son
Alonzo at little Susquehanna College, job
he held for six seasons. At SO, back on the
West Coast, he still was coaching. 1t was
only in 1882 that he began to show his
years. Six or seven months ago he entered

Tomorrow, on his Tooth birthday, sew
eral thousands Of football fans will gather
: at more than dozen dinners throughout
the Nation to celebrate. There will be none
in Washington but at D. C. Stadium, when
the Colts and Redskins play an exhibition
game unders the auspices Of Almas Triple
Shrine, the Stagg milestone will not go
unnoticed.
To those Of middle and mellow years
who are familiar with Stages incredible
story-and it follows they must be legion
the tribute to the Old Man will encompass
more than musical salute. A good many Of
the things the Colts and Redskins will do
tomorrow will have been invented by A. A.
Stagg.
WILL THE PROS HUDDLE? Stagg in
PRODUCED the huddle in 1895. Preparatory to
games do they study diagram books? The
Old Man was co-author Of the first such
tome in 1893. Direct pass from center?
Stagg in 1896. Line shifts? Stagg in 1897.
Naturally the Colts and Redskins will
wear numbers on their backs. Stagg was
the first to number players in 1918. Re-
verse play, lateral pass, man in motion,
unbalanced offensive line, backfield shift
blocking? In that order all these
were Stages innovations in 1890, 1898, 1899,
1900, 1904 and 1918.
This remarkable man gave birth to the
1922 defense as far back as 1891. The
6-2-1-2 defense was projected in 1892, the
4 5-2-1-2-1 defense in 1943. Is it big deal
when present-day team employs double
TANKER with twin backs and blocking back?
Amos Alonzo, son Of New Jersey cobbler,
presented that gimmick to football in 1947

side kickoff. Sixty-eight years ago, noting
the rules specified kickoff must travel
10 yards, then was free, Stagg stationed a
player alongside the ball against Michi-
gan while another man ran forward as If
to kick. At the last second the player next
to the bail tapped it gently with his foot.
After it rolled 20 yards Chicago recovered.

room, and at parties I

For the past four years,
Helen Rose, has worked for
MGM, and also has her own
wholesale dress operation. In
films she knows that a dress
cannot wrinkle. There's no
going after 1t with an iron
when you're shooting. A
dress has to move, walk, and
practically talk, she says, and
this theory is expressed in
her clothes always. The film
designer has many reStric-
tions. When you deal with a
beauty like Elizabeth Taylor,
you must sustain and retain
their individuality if the
picture is in modern dress.
Film designing has always
stressed a purity of design.
Film designers often have
a better background of fash
ion history. A period movie
must be authentic. When you
study periods, she says, you
find that the really good de-
sign has been one that has
sustained the passing of time
because basically it was pure
to begin with" II like to
design timeless Clothes" for
that reason she insists. Film
designers have to be sure of
themselves. They can't fool
the public. THE film industry
turned out the greatest
craftsmen with the finest
training in fashion" she
thinks.
Howard Greer claims "the
movies we're wonderful" when
he was a child. He found
the lot of the studio designer
in the old days better than
it is today. In the old days

retained the individual elec-
trio quality they generated
formerly for their individual
studios. 1--WE dressed women
who were fashion individ-
uals like Carole Lombard,
Garbo, Marlene Dietrich,
Joan Crawford, and Kay
Francis" Today's crop of
Starlets are nothing but
beatniks in their fashion
sense. The movies were a
great battle-ground for the
testing of many different
outlooks, he feels.
The era of the Thirties
when stars and great design
ers teamed up and kicked off
fashion trends is over. But
the romance and the magic
of the clothes goes on, since
all women yearn for the
beautiful.
Charles LeMaire, formerly
design head of goth Century
Fox, tried doing very high
fashion clothes when he first
went from studio designing
to ready-to-wear. Now he's
with the Dan Gertsman firm,
whose realistic prices allow
him to sell a maximum cross
section of American women.
He is the current contender
for an Oscar, for his designs
in black and white, in Walk
on the Wild Side" a special
design assignment he took
on.
His screen designing has
enabled him to know what
the public wants. They
always wrote to me when a
dress captured their fancy.
Inevitably it was one that
had a new look to something
they were already accustomed
to. This is the way 1

BEVERLY HILLS. Calf.
Nov. 1.-THE motion picture
industry may be a dying
thing in Hollywood, but mo-
ton picture designers are en-
joying a big heyday in the
California fashion market.
Many have turned their
talents away from dressing
stars to dressing American
women through the ready-to-
wear market. They have not
forgotten from whence they
Sprang.
They formerly were just
screen credits to thousands of
women who admire their
clothes, and wished they, too,
could find the same kind Of
glamor, the same kind of diff
ference that was magnified
for them in the movies.
The fashion industry out
here is richer today for the
people who had their early
training in the movie busi-
ness. The roster includes
Travilla, Jean Louis, Helen
Rose, Don Loper, Charles Le-
Marie and Mike Anthony to
mention several.
Famous names like the
late Adrian, the late Irene
and Howard Greer, also
gained fame as California de-
signers as they expressed
their design PHILOSOPHERS in
off-screen fashions as we'll.
Soon to be opened in Los
Angeles, is a museum as
sembled by Edith Head, one
of the big names along with
Orry-Kelly, who is still in the
movie design business ex-
clusively. Travilla, Helen
Rose, Charles LeMaire and
Jean Louis, on the other
hand, return to screen de-
sign for special pictures, since
they have also gone into the
manufacturing end.
What were some of the
valuable lessons they learned
in their movie careers?
Irene, high priestess of the
elegant cult of California
clothes, told us shortly before
her tragic death late last
week that she had learned
Ito make the most of a wom-
ans figure. With everything
magnified on the screen, ev-
erything has to be done we'll
with no distractions. I soon
learned the Importance of the
neckline on a suit, coat or a.
dress and not to clutter it.
More than anything, I learned
an awarenesS of the move
ment of the body in clothes.
1t is one of the reasons I pre-
fer soft silks, crepes and
chiffonS."

signing for the masses, have

was left up to you to create
the clothes" Today he con-
tinued, you'd have to please
not only the star. the pro-
ducer, the directors wife, the
camera man, and who knows,
maybe even the gateman."
Mr.. Greer, who is no longer
in the wholesale dress busi-,
ness, is taking a sabbatical.
He's teaching the young
Norells and Irenes" at Choui-
nard where many a young
student has shown the prom
1se that led them on to great
design success out here.
When will he return to FASH
ion? WELL" he told us, "it
took Chanel 10 years to re-
turn"
ElOis Jennsen, who was
with goth Century, is free
lancing now. says her studio
experience taught her the
"art of illusion, camouflage
style, filling a specific need
to carry out the plot of a
film, and designing for a va
riety Of women whose roles
in life were as career women,
models, society types, mothers
or housewives"
Walter Plunkett, of M-G-M,
another Oscar winner, thinks
screen designing equips a de-
signer to better understand
the "cloSe up" quality a
woman's dress must possess.
Women see fashion only, he
thinks, "full length" They
ought to judge how they look
when sitting down. which is
what they do most of the
time. Too many fashion de-
signers today are concerned
with the bottom of clothes, he
feels. The screen designer
has always focused on the
top.
In designing at goth Gen.
tury Fox, TraviIIa said the
important lesson he learned
was that some of the most
beautiful stars in the world
had the same figure problems
as other women. His clothes
sold throughout the United
States today, are all created
with "camouflage" techniques
he learned.

does not like that approach,
or feels it should be done in

any present plan to try to

A. No. the United States did

We are giving assistance to

not be appropriate at this time,

Feels People
Are BEING Told

@. Mr.. President. do you feel
that you have told the Ameri-
can people as much as can be
told, because Of the sensitivity
of the subject? Is that right?
A. I think I have just indi-
Gated what our role is. We
have increased our assistance
to the government. its logistics,
and we have not sent combat
troops there. although the
training missions that we have
there have been instructed that
if they are fired upon, they
are, Of course, to fire back, to
protect themselves, but we have
not sent combat troops in gen.
orally understood sense Of the
word.
We have increased our train
ing mission, and we have in
creased our logistics support
and we are attempting to pre-
vent a Communist takeover Of
Wet Nam. which is in accord
ance with a policy which our
Government has followed for
the last-certainly since 1854
and even before then as I have
indicated. We are attempting
to make all the information
available that we can consistent
with our security needs in the
area. So I feel that we are
being as frank as we can be
and I think what ] have said
to you is q description Of our
activity there.

signatory, 1t was a protocol
state. and. therefore. this pact
which was approved by the
Senate with only, I think. two
against 1t, under Article 4
stated that the United States
recognized that aggression by
means Of armed attack against
Wet Nam would threaten our
own peace and security.
so since that time the United
States has been assisting the
government of Wet Nam to
maintain its independence. It
has had q military training
mission there and extensive
economic assistance.
As you know. in the last two
years the war has increased.
The Vice President visited there
last spring. The war became
more intense every month; in
fact, every week. The attack
on the government by the
Communist forces with assist
ance from the north became of
greater and greater concern to
the government Of Wet Nam
and the Government Of the
United States. We sent sent
Gen. Taylor there to make q
review of the situation.
