Cotton Stockings
New Leg Wear for 1943
Or Bare Legs
Will it be bare legs or cotton stockings for the college woman? Fashion writers and hosiery companies predict that the welldressed women of next year will be wearing rayon and cotton stockings whether they like it or not. But side talk and bullchatter, infer a coed "thumbs down" attitude on the new stockings, the women preferring stockingless legs to the thick hose or expensive nylons. And for special occasions, cosmetic products will undoubtedly play their!
part in dressing up the college girl's legs in soft neutral shades.
At the G-10 fashion show held in New York this month, which emphasized low-in-priority materials, every second model is said to have worn cotton stockings with her non-priority ensembles while the other fashion displays featured rayon for the leg wear.
Just Like Silk
A new idea in the rayon fabrics was displayed in reverse-knit stockings and proved to be one of the big hits of the show. They are said to look and feel exactly like silk. So perhaps if the price isn't too far out of the college woman's pocket-book limit, she may give the new stocking a trial, when the worst comes.
Most of the fashion writers favor the rayon. Special finishes for this type besides the reverse-knit have been developed, adding beauty and longer life, improving snag resistance and texture. New construction methods have also been worked out for cotton hose in the way of novelty designs and a sheerer effect. Hosiery Houses Help
Already women have been given the opportunity to try other fibers in hosiery, but except for a rise in prices the shortage has not yet proved a great enough problem to make the cotton and rayon very saleable products on the market.
When the source of the silk supply was cut last summer, the stocking industry agreed to give the government all aid possible during the present emergency so that silk ordinarily used for hose is now being diverted into parachute production and other purposes.
Hosiery silk supply is gradually dwindling but companies claim that all-silk hosiery may be found in stores up to the end of this year and changes in stock will come leisurely. Stocking legs, for instance, will be

made of silk, while first the top hems and later the feet will be made of other materials.
The difficulty in the new hosiery field is in adapting any one type of stocking to all-wear purposes. Each type, it seems will be better suited for certain occasions. The new rayons are advocated for general wear. If the costume is of tweed, tailored type, fine cotton meshes are suggested as being appropriate. For active sports, driving, and school the various weights in cotton are to be acceptable and economical. But nylons are favored for the particularly dress-up occasions.
Women will have something to look forward to in 1943—and whether it will be bare legs or cotton and rayon for their legs, it will be another part for them to play in the war.

Miami Sees Bowl Games For Cagers
Miami Beach, Fla.—(UP)—Packed stadiums, with roaring fans cheering their favorites in an outdoor basketball bowl tournament—similar to the New Year's Day football classics—has been visualized for the near future by Coach Nat Holman.
"The climate here is perfect and the crowds will go for it in a big way," he said. "Just set up a pair of glass backboards and a good board floor and I think you'll pack them in even at the ends of your Orange Bowl."
Holman, vacationing at the Sea Isle hotel, recalled that during the predepression days the famed Original Celtics, with whom he played, toured the country playing in open parks under baseball floodlights.
"We set up our baskets between first and third bases," he said. "The crowd jammed the parks. I don't see why it couldn't be done today."
Holman is considered one of the country's foremost basketball authorities. Last year he coached C.C.N.Y. to six wins against two defeats in the metropolitan New York area.

With the score 45 to 35 the Jayhawks went on a scoring rampage and racked up the next 10 points straight as Miller and Black each tallied five points. Feature of this offensive display was Black's set-up after he had taken an Iowa State rebound and dribbed the entire length of the court to tally.
Just before Miller's last goal the two Jayhawker forwards, Black and Miller, had each tallied 17 points with four minutes remaining. Iowa State came on through Schneider's tip-in and Harle Damon's long set shot to break the Kansas string of points.
Miller finished out the Kansas scoring with two set-ups and a free throw to gain credit for the last nine Jayhawker points in four minutes. Kuebler's side shot and free throw and Budolfson's belated mid-court goal finished the scoring with Kansas in front, 60 to 44.
