MEN'S FASHIONS
Mod dress is big
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The Mod shirts worn chiefly by teen-agers form only a small percentage of the dress shirt market this fall, but the Carnaby Street imports have had a tremendous influence on the shirts offered for older men.
The most notable effect is the revived popularity of French cuffs, often in contrasting colors. Other new trends are extremey wide spread collars, flapped pockets, longer points for button down traditionals and a much higher roll or flare.
CHAMBRAY WAS popuiar last spring in deep blue but comes this fall in blue, burgundy and bright yellow. Pima cottons also are in deeper shades. The trend in oxfordis is for a more rugged look — basketweaves, herringbones, twills and whip-ords.
White shirts have yielded ground and most of the shirt manufacturers are showing a new pumpkin shade plus orange, pink, a darker pink, a blue- or gray-green and a true green. The same colors carry over into stripes which tend this fall to wide track—nearly two inches apart.
Small tattersall checks are shown in many traditional lines this fall but with a difference. There are solid color shirts with tattersall collars and cuffs and tattersall bodies with solid shirts and collars. The cuffs are French and often shaped, Mod-style. The collars are widespread.
Both department and specialty stores estimate that more than 50 per cent of the shirts they sell this fall will be permanent press.
THE NEW color in men's suits and overcoats this fall is a very dark black-green, and the black-burgundy combination of last year is back more popular than ever. Both colors are reflected in the fall men's shoe lines.
In many cases manufacturers have coordinated their offerings with those of the
MU coach is rebuilding grid team
Devine and his aides must rebuild this season with 18 holdover lettermen from the 8-2-1 Sugar Bowl squad. The inter-sectional entrees are rough—Minnesota, Illinois and UCLA—but Devine is reasonably optimistic, nevertheless, predicting "we'll have a good football team."
The Bengal skipper cites inexperience, especially in the offensive line, and overall lack of depth at the halfbacks as the most serious deficiencies.
On the positive side, the MU coach praised his senior halffacks, Charlie Brown and Earl Denny, without reservation.
"I don't think anybody has a better tandem of halfbacks," he said of his two threats who've had knee operations, "but if either one gets hurt, you'll notice the difference."
Of Sharp, the sophomore signal- caller from Kansas City, Kan.: "I think he's a brilliant prospect. I suspect he'll play."
Another rookie also drew plaudits, Roger Wehrli, a defensive back from King City—as showing "unusual talent for a newcomer."
Lightest of the Bengal regulars is Gary (Skip) Grossnickle, the Tiger safetyman. He weighed 175.
clothes manufacturers, not only in colors but in new shapes to carry out the ever trimmer and slimmer lines of clothing and the slight shaped look that has become universal.

Another major factor has been the Mod look in teen-age fashions with its knee-length boots and semi-boots which used to be called flight boots or chuk-kha boots. Since men and boys alike seem to be wearing slimmer pants some shoes and boots have taken on an almost Edwardian look.
Europe, and especially Italy, also has had a major influence and most lines this fall show a rounded-off square toe, often in a very lightweight leather and offering a new silhouette which calls for a nearly straight line from toe to top of vamp for almost a wedge shape.
ment in all ranges, whether it is a business shoe or a leisure slipon, and the newest colors are the black forest shadings and the wines and black cherry shades. There are also black-olives, brown olives, blues, browns with a greenish cast and deep gold shades including a black-brass.
Color is the newest develop-
The trend this year is for hand - rubbed finishes which give an antiqued or shaded effect where the center part of the shoe might be a definite olive shading to almost black near the sores. In some shoes the green is hand-rubbed onto the basic color for the antiqued look.
