 New York, Oct 10-This bureaus annual prize to the luckiest foot ball team in these United States has been awarded to Yale univer- sity, which is located in New Ha- ven, Connecticut.
 It has been our policy in the past to wait until the close of the sea- son before announcing the winner. But the happenings up there in New Haven the past two Saturdays convinced us there was no sense delaying the award which, if you are curious, consists of golden horseshoe rampant on a field of four-leaf clovers. rabbit feet. swastikas and asafetia bags.
 Yale has played two games to date. Tn both of them the Little Boy Blues were thoroughly out played but managed to come off with ties. They got 0-0 decision with Bates and a 7-7 standoff with Chicago. How they escaped a lick ing at the hands of Chicago is a mystery. Maybe it's the spirit of Rudy Vallee> that they say hangs over the bowl. If such is the case, Rudy's spirit is a most potent one, for not once, not twice, but half a dozen times 1t prevented Chicago scores when 1t appeared that noth- ing short of hell and high water would turn the trick.
 Take the last quarter of Satur- days game for example, twice in these last IS minutes Chicago stood within Yale's 20-yard line. On the first of these occasions Rudy's spirit. or whatever 1t is that upon the Maroon quarterback to try a daffy lateral pass that wouldn't have been good even If it had worked. This piece lof mon- key business cost Chicago 19 yards.
 The keen eye of Referee O'Brien saved Yale the second time. Pete Zimmer, one of the sweetest backs the east has looked upon for quite a spell, took punt and streaked down the sidelines and swept across the goal line. Everybody stood up to cheer the touchdown effort but O'Brien said Pete stepped out of bounds on the 14-yard line.
 Yale's guardian angel then wove a stroke of partial paralysis around the mind of the Chicago quarter back. On the third down the ball was squarely in front of the Yale goal posts. It was a perfect setup for a kick. But for some reason or another the o. B. called for another running playa play that swept the ball way over to one side of the field, He then called for a kick. Captain Birney did the best he could, but from where he stood 1t was like trying to- thread needle at 100 paces.
 This Zimmer man, who did the right halfbacking for Chicago, is quite a football player. Bob Las- sitter of Yale. the high-striding Carolianan was expected to be the big flash of the game. but Zimmer made Bob look like a high school boy. Trimmer did everything and did it well-kick, pass and run. Zmmer runs lot like Ray Steck- CT, the Army's big man last year. The main difference in their rum ming is that Zimmer travels faster and with more drive.
 The new rules concerning crawl ing and stopping when parts of the body other than the hands and feet touch the ground were not made for Zimmer. For Pete Is the type that caroms. off tackles. More than once he drove straight through Yale tackles. and would have been out in the clear and headed for home hid it not been for the new Ia vva
