...century ago, however, the tuxedo almost got kicked out of Gilpatric's set. Griswold Lorillard -- scion, as social columnists would put it, of the tobacco Lorillards -- showed up in the rarefied regions of the country club at Tuxedo Park, N.Y., wearing a red waistcoat with his best bib and tucker. The incendiary vest was bad enough, but what really stirred up the swells was the inescapable fact that Griswold's tails did not have any. The tailcoat was cut even and short, like a suit jacket.

Pro-football scouts are afraid to say how good he is, because he may be the best offensive lineman they have ever seen. "In Steinkuhler, Fryar and Rozier," says Dallas Cowboy personnel man Gil Brandt, "Nebraska might have three players drafted in the first ten." That such a player...
