IRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1936 THlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Sports Clothes For 1936 Show Many Changes Ensembles For Golf And Tennis Show Variety In Choice And Color Conservatively cut golf knickers, tennis outfits that combine shirts and trunks into a comfortable one- piece garment, and bold pirate stripe beach shirts are the most outstanding changes in spring sports garb. Knickers this season will form a part of a complete suit, usually of some definitely patterned tweed, and will be perfect for .both golf and general country wear. Style in golfing clothes has been greatly influenced by the outfits worn last June at the fashionable British Open Championship games at Muirs- field, Scotland. Knickers, especially, will follow the dictates laid down by the spectators there. No more exag- gerated plus fours, sixes and eights of past years, but sensible and well- proportioned garments of extremely conservative style will be the thing. They will be seen almost entirely in tweed, the most popular of which will probably be cheviots. The knee buckle and button has been replaced by a wrap-around cord at the knee band that allows more freedom of movement and does not stretch the material. Sweaters Are Prominent As for sweaters and jackets, any type may be worn and still be in good style Best dressed golfers will be seen in crew-neck, turtle-neck, flare- neck slip-overs and coat styles. Sleeves in both will be short and long. Jackets present a like variety and as in sweaters, gay colors are promi- nent. A lightweight cheviot tweed jacket will undoubtedly find much fa- vor. In Glen Urquhart check it will be worn with knickers of the same color and materal but in hound's tooth check. Light solid colors will also be seen in jackets, and a knitted sleeveless cardigan has been ac- claimed by golfing fans. It will be worn under the coat. Jackets are practical for all around country wear. An ensemble that will be seen fre- quently on the greens includes three- button, notched lapel model coat in Glen Urguhart plaid with a wide col- lar, slanting flap pockets, and side vents. Knickers are of the same ma- terial in a small shepherd check, and a light weight flannel shirt and show- er spot club shape bow tie completes the outfit. Socks Have Color For golf socks, gay colors in small checks will be in very good taste, and golf caps are shown in one-piece tops. Shoes to be worn when the cry, "fore!" is heard, will be predominant- ly brown and white Norwegian style, or as we know them -mocassins. There will still be seen some plain brown calfs and buckskins, and all golf shoes have heavy crepe rubber or heavy spiked soles. Slacks will replace knickers when the weather warms up to this sum- mer business, of course. Tennis enthusiasts may like the new combination sports garment be- ing offered by several manufacturers in different colors of mesh material. It is belted at the waist and solves the old problem of shirt tails that must be tucked in every ten minutes during a tennis game. These suits are ideal for golf, riding, boxing, and fishing. Beach shirts are offered in manifest styles and endless variety of colors Two Definite Style Trends Gain Favor For Campus Coat Wear Prince Of Wales Model In Many Patterns Assumes First Place In East Two definite style trends in spring topcoats are represented by the Prince of Wales coat and the knee- length covert coat, both of which are gaining favor to the exclusion of most other models on university campuses. After taking eastern schools by storm, the Prince of Wales coat is finding unprecedented popularity among smartly attired undergraduate bodies from coast to coast. This single-breasted, fly-front, raglan sleeved coat will be seen in cheviot tweeds of Glen Urquhart and other bold plaid patterns,, and in hound's tooth check and Harris tweed. Slash pockets and double-breasted lapels are features of this tweed coat, and its colorful patterns keep it in line with the present demand for gayety in clothing. Coat In Solid Colors This coat comes also in solid colored tweeds and is very effective made up in harder materials such as whip- cords, heavy gabardines, or covert. For a general knock-about topcoat this model has no equal. Its loose- fitting arm holes and its swagger flare add to its smartness. It comes only an inch or two below the knee. Mainly for country wear, younger men may use this coat in town, and it goes well with a bowler hat. The other coat is ideal for town and country for all ages. It is short- er -knee length - and is gaining a wide following. Made up in covert, this coat is an excellent choice for spring weather. Among the features that give it that "horsey" appearance, are the raised or strap seams and the heavy extra stitching at the cuffs and around the hem. This topcoat has slanting flap pockets, is double- breasted, and carries peaked lapels. Besides natural covert cloth, it will be seen in whipcord and melton. Suitable for sports, rain, and dress, this model will probably meet with much success. Camel's fair The camel's hair coat, although re- legated to the background for the season, will not disappear altogether, but will be seen every now and then in single-breasted style with leather buttons, military collar, and an all- around belt. Even raincoats are shorter this year, most of them stopping about three inches above the knee, and carrying side vents. Raglan shoulders will be seen in light,, almost white and materials this year. There are long-sleeved horizontal striped wool shirts with wide collar, and there are solid colors inshort-sleeved models that sport a contrasting trim. They come in cottons, silks, wools, and ce- lanese, in whites and solids, and in1 horizontal and vertical stripes. The newest thing in beach shirts, however, is the bold pirate stripe shirt opening all the way down the front, with short sleeves. These widely spaced vertical stripes lend a touch of the flamboyant to any costume, and it is believed that they will find pop- ularity every place where sports shirts are worn. SCARFPINS ARE THE RAGE Gold animal scarfpins are all the rage from coast to coast, from coats to coats. Introduced at the Royal Ascot races in England, they come in horses and dogs and other ani- mals. Reversibles Are The Way To A I Adjustable For' Is Through An Erratic Climes .

Large pockets with flaps are featured. The shortness gives extra freedom in walking. The reversible will continue to be preferred by many as an extra coat. Smart looking raincoats in gabardine are being of- fered this year, and like the others, have side vents. If there's any chance of being caught in the rain, there is the new waterproof protective garment made of such high grade silk that it can be tucked away in a small pouch to be carried in the, golf bag or automobile. The whole garment weighs under a pound, and might be a useful thing to have along on hiking, hunting, or fishing trips. As King Edward Purchases So Buys The Entire World The Prince of Wales set about as many styles as any man of his time, but now that he is Edward VIII, that honor will go to somebody else -- Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable or the Duke of Kent. The Prince set many styles by sheer accident. Attending so many public and private functions as he did, it was necessary sometimes to change clothing many times a day. If he attended a wedding in the forenoon, and was slated to visit the London slum district an hour later, he had barely chance to change his coat and hat, keeping on his shirt and trousers. Being news the world over, the -newspapermen sent the details of the princely attire to every nook and cranny, and millions sought to duplicate the royal combinations, even though he wore a soft blue shirt with a morning coat and striped trousers. But the coat now named after him was by no such accident. Seeing the model in an Edinburgh shop window, he liked it, bought it - and so did the world iouna LaL ne maoui y1 u:ic Ann Arbor's erratic climate and sex's hearts beat faster wheh they see a man smoking a pipe.

When purchased, the bowl has been bored and the bit inserted but is otherwise unfinished. It is reported that quite a number of these haveI been sold. The carving of these pipes has been given an added incentive by the offering of an imported, straight grain pipe as an award for the best pipe entered in the contest. A number of years ago when Dad was in college, pipes with fraternity insignia, or class .numerals were greatly in vogue. Interestingly, this vogue is now returning in great force. One pipe merchant reports a com- plete sell-out in short time of all he had on hand. These pipes may be had in a number of shapes in a good1 briar. The letters in insignia are in- laid in silver on the bowl. You're going to see more of these . Old Bathrobes Now Replaced By Corduroys' Light Shades Are Popular In Full Length Fashions For Lounging The out-worn bathrobe is now passe, according to the fashion dic- tators for the male word-robe, and to be sartorially correct even when reclining with pipe and book, the well-dressed man of today must own one of the many new varieties being offered in the line of smoking and lounging robes. The short jacket type of robe is now being supplanted by the full- length robe that can be used as a smoking robe or bathrobe, since it is neither too light nor too heavy. Light corduroys are expected to be exceedingly popular this year, and are being shown in many shades from white to black. For those desiring something on the conservative side, browns with darker brown belts are available. Initials look decidedly smart on any of the new smoking robes, and large pockets allow for any size tobacco pouch and pipe. The more expen- sive robes feature soft silk linings. Paisley print robes in various de- sign are selling fast throughout the eastern colleges, for those undesirous of the corduroys. New W ools In First Place; Window Pane Patterns, Stripes Featured Gentlemen of fashion! This year more than ever the beaches will see less of your swimming trunks and more of you. In line with the con- tinuous decrease in the amount of material put into bathing apparel, the designers are offering skimpier and skimpier outfits and have produced, perhaps to make up for the reduction of material, a startling variety in color, design, and weave. Knitted wool still holds first place in popularity among the different ma- terials, but instead' of the customary plain blacks, dark blues and reds, there are chalk stripes (similar to those in last season's most popular lounge suits), waffle weaves, and win- dow pane patterns. These are of- fered in several colors, light blues, grays, reds, and browns, and for the most part have conservative back- grounds with bright accents in the featured designs. For more conservative swimmers the gabardines that have been used extensively in the past are still good. These have more generous proportions and are offered in plain blues, browns, and maroons. And there is a new, silky material for bathing trunks - Celanese. Until this year this ma- terial has been used mainly for liv- ing room draperies, but the remark- able rapidity with which it sheds water has proved its adaptability to swimming, and it should compete fa- vorably with the more customary gabardines. For those who frequent beaches that require tops there are those which zip onto trunks and answer their purpose with the least amount of covering. Regular jerseys are be- ing shown in plain colors and also with three or four thin stripes across the chest in contrasting colors. A LA ESQUIRE To go racing, or as we say it in America, go to the races, the English have developed a suit that may be worn all day without changing. For wear to the office, to the track, and later at dinner, it is seen in popular lovat green in Glen Urquhart check. The jacket carries slanting flap pock- ets and side vents and it is cut full under the arms. f declare dogmatically that it will be in the play as long as white shirts are worn Gloves Regaining Favor For Spring Gloves are supposed to be regaining favor for spring wear. In the past such accessories have been conspicu- ous by their absence from the local spring costume *The most popular gloves for sports wear will be waffle-knit and string in natural, tan and pastel shades. Those featuring stitching in brown or black are especially good-looking. Sharing the spotlight for town wear are fawn colored mocha gloves yellow chamois gauntlet gloves, and white pigskin, and are very effective with the new covert overcoats are gloves of red capeskin. Semi-formal wear demands gloves of course, and yellow chamois gloves are the order of the day. Formal day clothes call for gloves to match the waistcoat unless it is black, in which event grey gloves should be worn White string gloves, together with white silk and kid, will be seen with formal attire, although gloves may or may not be worn. In pipes other tnan the briar the meerschaum is the most expensive and most generally preferred by smokers, but because of the cost, fragility, and care that they require, they are not as common as the briar. from abroad, the majority of them The best pipes continue to come from England. The English seem to have had the preeminent craftsmen in this field for a number of years. Recently, however, American pipe manufacturers have placed a num- ber of pipes in the quality field on the market. For smoking in the room, several novel pipes are being shown. The large calabash pipes are highly rec- ommended as some interesting look- ing pipes made of imported French cross-sections of a limb, still having cherrywood. The latter are really the bark on the outside. They are cut off at the bottom on a tangent, giving them a broad base so that they rest very nicely on a desk. Unique Pipes Shown A number of unique pipes were seen in the shops. Among these were water pipes, sometimes called "bub- blety-bubbletys" from the sound they make, and clay pipes, the Irishman's traditional favorite. Quite a striking group of pipes were those with the bowls carved into the shape of a death's head, or a horses head. Most of this latter group, however, will _ 1 rirr rr o r Plain - Patterned!
