 RULE CHANGES

Chicago, December 3.-Foot- ball coaches of the Western Conference universities will meet here tomorrow to draft schedules for the 1921 season and to discuss rule changes which will be presented for ac- tion at the meeting of the na- tional intercollegiate commit tee in New York next month. seven to nine games also will be con- sidored. The prolongation of the season, if the proposal to lengthen it is adopted will be accomplished by starting the 1921 campaign a week earlier and ending Ut the Saturday after Thanksgiving in stead of the preceding Saturday.
 Changes in the rules will be suggested tomorrow, but they will likely be of minor importance, according to Coaches Yost of Michigan, Jones of Iowa and Williams of Minnesota Elimination of the goal after touchdown will be one of the subjects to come up.
 The faculty members of tho conference will assign dates tomorrow for the in door and outdoor championship track meets. The indoor event, it is expected, will be awarded to Northwestern Uni versity, and the outdoor probably will be awarded to Chicago.
 Basketball coaches also will convene to- morrow to arrange for the season which opens January 3.

YALE'S GRID .ELEVENS NOT
 TAUGHT RIGHT
New Haven, December B. What Yale football needs is the family doctor," says the Yale Alumni Weekly, today in a general review of the foot ball season in the university.

The Weekly has been receiving the opinions of others on football conditions and now strikes out for itself in sug- geSting causes and effects.
 Tn our opinion," says the Weekly, ale football does not need a profess stonal specialist to put it on its feet again; the family doctor will respond if called. And by this we mean that while Harvard and Princeton have been building up homecoaching schools these past few years Yale has struck blindly out for miracle makers, and has for gotten the experience of the days when Yale football was great
 The old Yale coaching system was not built up around any one man nor was any individual the boss of it, it was @, school of Yale football science, under one field coach, to be sure, (and it did not seem to make any difference who he was), but comprising all of the knowledge and special talents that a long procession of tried coaches could con- tribute. continuous and kept up to date by regular infusion of new blood"
 After referring to Yale teams as fight ing ones, the Weekly says: Yale teams can play as good football as ever if they are taught right And why aren' t they?s'

Oscar Dugey Was
 "Luck King'' Of AM Ball Players
By JAMES J. CoRBET'r

Oscar Dugey sizes up as one of the luckiest ball players in the history of the national game
 Dugey was never more than mediocre in batting or in fielding. In fact, his work in both departme of play was regarded as atrocious by many ex- perts. He never held down a regular job in the major league ball club be- cause of inefficiency. Yet he was with two worlds championship outfits, coll lected two juicy shares of the spells and all the while drew dawn fair salary.
 Dugey's only real stock in trade was his wonderful speed. Few men ever strode on to the baseball diamond who could outfoot him. It was his swift ness that caused the Braves of 1913-1914 to retain him, so that he could sub- stitute for slow baserunners in pinch, and it was the same attribute that enabled him to hold down a job with the Phillies year later.
 DEBUTTED IN 1913
 The infielder debutted as a major leaguer with the Braves of 1913. He did not get real chance to show what he could-or what he couldn't-do in tudl Scdoobs put III iOif tHC OPPOl u nifty came to display his wares-and Dugey displayed nothing brilliant.
 He participated in 58 games, most of them in the role of pinch runner, pinch hitter, or pinch fielder. His swatting mark was exactly .193. while he was absolutely lost among the sec- ond basemen infieldng, with a per- centage of 1891. Despite this fact, Dugey got share of the worlds series money, which neeted him close to $4,0o0.
 In the winter of 1s14-15 the Braves made a trade with the Phl1ies. They tossed in Dugey as the "to boot" part of the bargain. The Braves thought so little of Dugey as a player that they asked almost nothing for Dugey in the deal. They were reasonably happy to have the Phillies assume the Dugey salary contract.
 The Phillies turned right around, upset the dope" and won the 1915 pennant. They jumped into the worlds championship frolic, and, although they lost it, each one of the Philles took down a few thousand dollars as his share for participation in the battles.
 DUGEY AMONG THEM And one of those athletes was none other than Oscar Dugey, who figured in parts ofa42 games, batted for the terrific average" of .154 and did not find his way into the fielding figures at all. That was because he did not participate even in parts of enough games to get into the official averages. So we have the case of Dugey, who probably played about 270 innings through two seasons, who batted for a grand average of .163, fielded S91, re- ceiving two full shares of world S series money-and two full years salary.
 Lucky is the word that describes Dugey, who passed out of the majors as a player when the Phillies won the championship, and who now is serving in the role of coach of the Boston Braves--and doing splendid work For despite the. fact that Dugey was a poor mechanical player, there is no deny ing that he has brains, pep, baseball knowledge and ability to teach and to inspire his fellow athletes

ARNOLD H0RWEEN IS A GOOD LUCK OMEN,
 THINK UNDERGRADS

Cambridge, Mass.. December B. Superstitious Harvard students who seek to propitiate the fates in advance of examinations have found n new source of good omen in Arnold Horween, captain of the Crimson team. The fact that the Harvard leader in the toss of coins for choice of strategy in football games called the turn in every con- test this season and thereby gained the opening advantage in season of play that included no defeat has caused the undergraduate body to regard him as the arch priest of Ktsmit. As n result. students on the eve of examinations ask for shake of his hands, rub him on the back and seek his good wishes In the tilt against academic bugaboo.

Colleges, cIuDS ana undtIacneo run ,ners are ready for the crack of the pistql this afternoon. Mississippi A & M leads in the number of runners en- tered in the event today, having five full teams, or six runners, entered in the race.
 A BIG EVENT
 This read race of the B. A. c. is one of the biggest meets in the history of southern amateur athletics. It not only combines college with club athletics, but it always attracts about the 1arg- est list of entries of any of the S I. A A. or s. A. A. U. meets.
 For this, the tenth, race, interest
 has ovcrnowed, as is evidenced by
 the exceedingly large list of en-
 tries Three southern states arc
 represented in the meet today
 Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
 Five colleges, namely, Auburn,
 Alabama, Georgia Tech, Mississippi
 A. & M. and Birmingham Southern;
 have teams entered, while three
 clubs, Acipco "X," Birmingham A,
 c. md Atlanta A. C., are repre-
 scented.
 The E. A. c. and A & NJ are perhaps better acquainted with cross country events Of all the institutions entered in today's race. Both have been put ting out these teams for many years and both go in strong for such events Alabama. Auburn and Tech have been developing some strong $ I. A. A. track and f1eld teams the past few years and the road race teams of these institu- tons which line up today are expected to give the other entrants all they de- sire in the way of competition Bir- mingham- Southern is putting out it's first road race team, but the nine youngsters entered by the local college show much promise of developing into crack road men. Doug Beatty has been doing much for Acipco ''Y'' athletics since he shouldered the burden out there and his team entered today should prove hard to beat Atlanta A. c. has but one man entered, but he is a crackerjack.
 A GROUP OF STARS
 Interest is centered in the outcome ef the battle between a group of proven etars. who have won 1aurels in past eross-country events. Ths. B. A.
