Sharp dresser
I was about to post the same thing, Brent. I'm surprised to see someone doing track and field wearing shirt, tie, and knickerbockers. On the other hand, some of the young lads are decidedly not overdressed: tank top, shorts and what look remarkably like sneakers, as on the fellow with the "G" shirt.
[They look like sneakers because they are sneakers. - Dave]
Well Dressed
From this blog I know that kids, including elementary school children, dressed more formally in the 1920s, still I find it hard to accept someone competing in the Long Jump (or did they still call it the Broad Jump then) wearing a tie. Well at least he's not wearing a hat (though some did).
