- White bloomer style basketball shorts with elastic at the leg openings.

Dorothy was so thin her team nickname was "Slats" and her mother attached suspenders to the bloomers so they would not fall down during games. Girls basketball was outlawed in Nebraska in 1926 and was not reinstated until the 1970s.
