MEN TO VIE WITH WOMEN IN COLORS COLOR IN CLOTHES WILL REACH ITS APEX THIS SPRING GAY PLUMAGE FOR MEN Colors of Famous Scotch Clans To Predominate in new Styles Now Plained For Male Of Species New York, Occ, 24-The neglected male log come into his rights again after more than a century of drabness in raiment.

The return of color in men's clothes, predicted by psycholegists, students of costume, and others learned in the lore of cause and effect, will attain its apex this spring. The male of the species is at last to be more colorfully dressed than the female, and the law of attraction by gay plumage which op(tc3 through the rest of nature will now include man--with what results we are unable at this writing to determine. The immediate expression of this craving for color, this 'clothes consciousness' 011 the part of men is the Scotch influence on men's cloths revealed recently in an advance showing in Chicago of styles for men. 'Mon will be garbed next spring in colorful fabrics which have taken their inspiration from the gay tartans of the virile Scotch Highlanders. The colors of the famous clans MacDuff, MacDonald Glengarry, Cawdor Campbell, Grey Douglas, Graham Montrose and others renown in romantic song and story will live again in the suits which American men will wear at their country clubs and at their business.

Scotch Vogue in America The inspiration for the revival in America of the brilliant clan colors cf the old Scotch Highlanders was found in the national Scotch games which are held annually at the gathering of the clans in various parts of Scotland. Here in the little towns of Braemar, Oban and at Usit the various clans dressed in their national costumes compete in music, dances and tests of strength. Among the most picturesque of the games played at these events is the old game of Caber or "throwing the log in which sturdy giants from each clan compete. It is an interesting commentary on the growing "clothes consciousness" in men that the tartans worn by these hardy highlanders have formed the inspiration of fabrics designed for American men with whom outdoor life is becoming more and more of a necessity. But while the American man has gon in for Scotch colors, he has drawn the line there.

He has adopted the tartain of the Highlander, but has passed up the kilt. There will be no radical change in the lines of the clothes of the well dressed man, say style authorities, unless the pleats which the fashionable trouser now boasts can be attributed to kiltie influence. However, the adoption of the clan colors is an interesting development in the history of American clothes, and evokes intriguing possibilities. Perhaps one man wearing the colors of Clan MacDuff will meet another whose suit displays the same acteristics plaid. Certainly this should be a bond in common, even as Rotarian calls unto Rotarian, or Elk unto brother Elk.

Who knows if we may develop the clan idea in America. Be that as it may, the Scotch influence strikes a refreshng note in these effete days.

Chronicle Want Ads for resalts, AGGIES LOSEGAME BUT NO PRESTIGE THREE POINT MARGIN -MIGHT HAVE GONE EITHER WAY PUNTING ABOUT TOSS-UP Thrills of Game Came When Whiteman Runs Fifty Yards and When Wildcats Hold Bengals 01 One Yard Line The concensus of opinion after the mud battle between the Wildents and the Tigers yesterday is that the Aggies lost only three points, to Missouri and nothing in prestige. The summary tells a different story then the score. The game was evenly contested and cleanly fought for the most part. The Aggies had the edge in the first quarter and Missouri held it at times in the last half.

The field was damp, prohibiting a good exhibition of football. The sky was overcast and the thermometer hung around 40 degrees. Both teams attempted field goals, the Aggies trying five and missing all and the Tigers kicking one and missing one. Fumbling Lacking In the last half both teams used la number of forward passes. The I Aggies completed four out of eight attempts.

Missouri made good only one out of the three attempted. Fumbling, which has in past years featured Aggie games, was lacking yesterday afternoon. The Wildcats muffed the ball only once and recovered it that time themselves. Bachman's proteges missed a good chance to score in the first half when a place kick by McGee from the Aggie 35 yard line went wild. A punt by Lindenmeyer had been blocked and Krysl had picked it up out of bounds on the Tiger 35 yard line.

Cochrane made two yards through the line and Springer made! six more in two plunges through tackle. It was then that the kick was tried and failed. Punting was resorted to by both teams, each having a good kicker. Cochrane had the edge on Lindenmeyer of the Tigers by an average of a little less than two yards. Missouri, however, had a slight edge 011 the Aggies in running back punts, averaging .2 2 of a yard more.

Whiteman's Long Run In the second period Whiteman, captain and left half of the Missouri team, picked up a low place kick and raced down the field for fifty vards. McGee had attempted place kick from the thirty yard line, but it had hugged the ground and floated into the arms of the Tiger back. The much touted line smashing backs of the Bengals were held in tracks- on the one vard line for four downs in the third quarter by the Aggie line, assisted ably by the backfield. Missouri obtained the ball after Cochrane's punt had been blocked Jackson, Grantello, and Clark each tried the Aggie line but could not squirm through the fightting Wildcat's claws. The Missouri counter came in the third period after ten minutes of desperate fighting to get the ball within striking distance.

A pass, Whiteman to Bacchus, netted 14 vards and Stuber tore around end for 13 more. A seven yard dash by Jackson placed the ball on the cie four yard line. Jackson gained two more and then Whiteman placed a nent kick between the posts from the 10 yard line. Rally Fails Aggies The Aggies started a rally near the end of the last period. Forward passes carried the ball to the Missouri 19.

yard line but here it was lost on downs to -Missouri. The game ended with the ball in the possession of Missouri.
