L TWO HEMS FOR HER— Designer Joanna Nelson of California solves the hemline dilemma in this handsome ensemble of super wide wal" cotton corduroy. A shapely frog-buttoned coat in the new longer length tops a sleeveless dress with an above-the-knee hemline. MINI SPLENDORED—Want to have your mini and wear it two ways? Arpeja of Cali fornia shows how: wear it as stylish topping for a softly shaped pantsuit of authentic- looking cotton suede. Or. if you’re short-sighted, leave off the pants and wear it as a mini tunic dress. SKIRT THE ISSUE —A coed's way with the midi: choose a style that buttons down the front but leave it unbuttoned halfway to show a flash of legs. In step with fall’s layered look, Miss Pat’s cotton knit outfit includes a V-necked vest topping a long-sleeved shirt This, Ladies, Is Football (Editor’s Note: two weeks ago The Chronicle published a ‘Letter to the Editor’ from Mrs. Marguerite McGee. Mrs. McGee wrote a humorously article about her impression after attending her first foot ball game. Likewise with ton gue-in-cheek, Mrs. Robert Wickham of ThornweU has written an article, ‘explaining’ to Mrs. McGee and others what football is all about) BY MRS. ROBERT WICKHAM With tongue in cheek I’d like to offer this explanation of the great game of football for the benefit of Mrs. Mc Gee and others who might find this seasonal hysteria rather complicated. This is a seasonal madness which infects about 90% of the male population in late sum mer and, come hail or high water, lasts until New Years day, at which time the infec tion comes to a head and bursts in a wild weekend in which ordinarily sensible people cease to be human and become fang, w)ip will drive hundreds oaf miles; sit for hours In air scream and blow horns in a three hour frenzy. The ladies go to these af fairs in order to see who can afford a new fall outfit, and it is to them that this explana tion is written with tongue in cheek. The players wear special clothing which consists of knickers, long or short socks, depending on team modesty, and shoes with little hard rub ber prongs on the bottoms for kicking the grass loose, thus giving the impression of much action. An oversized polo shirt is necessary to cover the plastic contraptions worn over the shoulders making even the underendowed players look big and brawny. These plastic things, called pads, also make a very satisfy ing noise upon contact which gives the fans the impression that they are really getting their money’s worth. On the head is worn a hard hat that covers the ears and is kept on with a leather strap under the chin. They are ex cellent as weapons or protec tion in the altercations that sometimes crop up in the heat of the game. Fastened across the face are a few bars known as a mask, which gives the player the uncomfortable feel ing that his misdeeds have landed him in the Calaboose. This feeling is heightened by the number he wears on his polo shirt. To complete the picture, there are four fel lows in striped suits dir ecting traffic and looking like they are on furlough from the county penal institute. These four men are equip ped with large handkerchiefs, called flags, in their back poc kets, which are evidentally equipped with springs, and ever so often they pop out, where upon one of these men blows his little whistle, hung around his neck like a hippie medal lion, makes some impressive waving and pointing gestures, picks up the ball and marches briskly down the court to the accompaning howls or cheers from the fans--depending upon which direction he goes. These men have been call ed by a great variety of names but polite society directs that they be known as officials. ■ This is ope ganM^ln which alf kinds of*people are allow ed toparticipate without regard to their social standing or nationality. Some of the better known foreigners are the Chinese Bandits and making the team from the local scene are bushwhackers, monsters, red dogs, drifters, Devils, Blues, Indians and evenSaintsto a few. The men are known by the way they line up to play. Those facing each other horizontally across the field are simply called The Line. The man in the middle of the line is logi cally called the center and this is toe only logical thing about the whole business. The center evidentally owns the ball because no-one may touch it until he picks it up and presents it backward between his legs to the leader who is known as the Quarterback, who in turn might let one of three cohorts have it These buddies are usually fleet of foot, easi ly maneuverable and subject to hard knocks. They are known as the backfleld, quarter, half, full, wing, tail and roving. On each side of the center, in a horizontal line across the field, are men consisting of two each of tackles, guards and ends logically called right and left Their main purpose is to keep the opposing players away 1ft Der> 8:16 PUBLIC AUCTION FRIDAY, OCT. 9 7:00 P. M. 5 Miles From Clinton On Greenwood Highway Ererything will be sold at highest b&d* » Stotoniofed by Gun Hunting Glub from toe quarterback until he decides what he wants to do with the ball. He will some times throw the ball to one of the men on the end which auto- maticaUy makes him a passer and toe end a receiver. This switching of names is designed to confuse the audience and works admirably. The team with toe ball is called the offensive team, but has nothing to do with wheth er or not their deodorant works. The other side is known as the defense. The line of toe defense is the same as the of fense but to blow toe mind of toe not too hep spectator, the backfleld men are known as linebackers, safety men, blit- zers and red doggers. Now the purpose of all this preparation is to move a two pound baU from the middle of a rectangular, 100 yard long meadow into toe promised land known as the end zone this scoring 6 points. This is ac complished by moving the ball across two of the white lines, drawn 5 yards apart, across the field. Four dances, called 'dftWiii^ar«^#b^n«Tf2tifey succeed joy reins and they get to try again, if not, they trot dejectably from the field, mak ing as wide a detour as possible around the coaching staff, and the other team tries their luck. Once the ball is moved into the scoring zone it is caUed a touchdown and team mem ber, called a kicking specia list, is aUowed to show his prowess and attempts to kick the ball across the iron bar set up in the end zone. If he succeeds he is credited with one point, if not, he is sub jected to bitter criticism, es- peciaUy from those who have sums of money invested in toe outcome. Prevention of a score is ac- compUshed by all sorts of maneuvers and watched over carefully by toe officials. Any thing is legal that the official doesn’t see, however, toe use of fists, teeth, using the bars across the fece for leverage or talking ugly to toe official can cause the flag to leap from toe pocket, pubUcally exposing the culprit of ungentlemanly conduct. This is embarrasing as well as dangerous, since detection brings about a set back known as a penalty and due process is served by send ing the whole crew backward across 1, 2, or 3 of the white a / Perky Look For Fall r Autumn's Prettiest Heads Start Here.

C., Oct. 8, 1970 About People You Know lines. This causes deep anguish amongst a portion of the con gregation, unbounded joy from toe rest and much maligning of toe characters of the of ficials. There are a variety of plays but the most spectacular, and therefore popular, is the pass whereby toe quarterback may decide to throw the ball to one of the ends who can be a spread, tight or split end but seldom a loose end. There are a variety of pass es and some of the better known are the foward, lateral, jump, bomb, pitchout, flare, and in complete, the last being the least popular. In toe event that the quarterback cannot find a friend to throw the baU to and toe mass attack by the op posing team prevents his run ning with it, he must resort to drastic measures and *eat it”, which makes the game rather expensive at upwards of $25 per ball not to mention the hazards to the digestive tract of the unforunate man. The game is divided into four quarters and a half. The play ers are active during the quart ers and the half is designed for the fans, who may spend their 15 minutes fighting to get to the refreshment stand, and other nearby facilities, or watching toe scantily clad dancing ma jorettes performing on the battle field. One of the things to remem ber is not to be over exhu- berant in criticism of any play er since his relatives might be sitting in your vicinity. It’s always safer to blame the coaches, whose feelings are soothed by large salaries, or the officials whose own par ents woukki’t be apt to acknow ledge them much less any dis tant relative. There are many phases of the game that we haven’t even touched upon but this is enough to give you the determination to give up football or maybe stay home and watch it on T. V. where at least you can enjoy the commercials and make short runs to the kitchen when the confusion becomes unbearable. You may view with skepti cism the second-hand washer offered as a bargain because its owner only washed once a month.
