Smaller Colleges Are Threatening Position of Big Three,, as Resiilt of Qpeh Play
Show Steady
; Grid Decline
Open Game Threatening Position
Held for Years by Harvard,
, Yale and Princeton.
' 1 , By Cenrjr U. Farrcll
WEW YORK, Oct. 80. (U. P.)
Xl Decline of the "Bis Three" ss a
national football power becomes
more and more pronounced with
.each succeeding: year. .
Since the "open rme" found Us way
Into the books and became adopted gen
erally by colleges all over the nation,
Yale Harvard and Princeton have been
finding their places on the ' football
' heights taken by small colleges unheard
Of a decade back.
This revolution has reached such a
point that the "Big Three" In recent
yean can almost be Ignored when it
comes to picking the Eastern champions
or the national leaders.
' SET UTS ABE SET BACKS
The policy of considering their own
"family games" as the only ones worth
while and branding the other contests
of the schedule as merely practice for
the big games has led to the decline in
the power of the "Big Three."
It has led to other lamentable results.
Tale picked Boston college last year
as a "set up" and lost 5 to 3. The Ells
did the same thing this year and again
lost 21 to 13.
Harvard picked Holy Crois this year
as a "trial horse" and just escaped with
a S to 0 victory.
The policy of filling the schedule with
''set ups" has caused the critics to ignore
an undefeated season and give the cred
It to other colleges that fight through
a hard schedule.
WEST OVERLOOKED
Harvard was undefeated last season.
But Syracuse, Colgate, Dartmouth, Penn
and Pittsburg got far more credit e
cause they went through a schedule that
looked like something.
The West Ignores the "Big Three" eiv
tlrely, and rightfully, too. Yale, Har
- vard and Princeton demand almost lm
possible conditions for the "honor" of
appearing on their schedule.
The West goes an the assumption that
Western football is Just as good as
Eastern football and there Is no need to
come East to show their form. And the
West Is right.
The waning; prestige of the "old
power" has been more than marked this
season.
Cornell, Dartmouth. Pennsylvania and
Columbia are planning the organization
of a "Big Four" that will go its way
regardless of the "Big Three."
BOWING IS EXAMPLE
Nothing definite has been done about
" this move but eteps probably will be
taken before next season's schedule is
made up.
Bowing has long ago passed away
from the dictatorship of the "Big Three."
The Intercollegiate Rowing association,
as it is now constituted consists of Cor
nell, Penn and Columbia. Syracuse Is
an informal and participating member
although not represented on the board.
The "Big Three" is Invited annually to
- participate.
Yale listened to the criticism about
, weak schedules and took on five hard
games this year as against three last
.' . year.
Harvard, however, clung to the same
' Old policy.
Princeton, the most popular of the trio
; With outside teams, picked a hard
schedule last year and lost two games
' to Colgate and West Virginia.
, But the Tigers learned good lessons in
those reverses and came back strong,
. tying Harvard and defeating Yale.
- From a spectacular and traditional
: Standpoint the ''Big: Three" battles will
continue to be the classics of tbe season
but Unless the teams Improve they will
cease to cause tbe slightest ripple when
It comes to deciding the championship.

New Golf Rules of U. S. G. A.
Reinstatement Provisions
BECAUSE of the misunderstanding as
to the the interpretation of the new
rules adopted by the United States Golf
association, they are here reproduced:
The following definition of the stymie
rule was adopted :
Definition When both balls are on the
fiutting green, and the opponent's ball

said to have laid the player a "stymie."
Stymie If the opponent lay the player
a stymie, the player may remove the op
ponent's ball ; the opponent shall then
be deemed to have holed In his next
stroke.
Note If a player, laying within the
boundaries of the putting green lay him
self a stymie, the rule does not apply. '

If the ball so lifted was played from
the teeing ground, the player may tee a

Hugfiey Jennings Steps Out to
Allow Younger Leader to As
sume Charge of Tigers.
TVTEW YORK, Oct 10. (L N. S.)
Hughle Jennings has passed on
as manager of the Tigers.
After 14 yean ho has told Detroit
good-bye, and his going marks finis
to a long and honorable career with
one ball club.
Old "Ee Yah" bears a splendid reputa
tion in baseball. His honesty and his con
scientious methods are among his great
est assets, and while he has been unsuc
cessful In piloting the Tigers to a cham
pionship since 1909, when he won his
third consecutive pennant for Detroit,
he has always ranked as one of the
most competent and aggressive man
agers in the game.
LACKED PITCHERS
Jennings teams of recent years have
generally finished well up in the pen
nant races, but they have always been
lacking in one great big essential thins;
pitching strength. Baseball men who
have watched Jennings and his Tigers
year after year are unable to agree on
the reason for this. Some say that Jen
nings simply hasn't the knack of hand
ling pitchers. Others tell us that he
either doesn't know a good young pitcher
or that he Is Just unlucky.
When he handed Owner Frank Navin
his resignation as manager Jennings
pointed .out that he believed the Tigers
need complete rebuilding, and as he has
been unsuccessful as a penant-wlnnlng
manager since 1909 he simply figured
that someone else should have a "crack"
at Detroit's managerial whip.
WAS STAB PLATER
Jennings was among the greatest
shortstops of the old days. He played
short for the champion Baltimore Orioles
away back in the '90s and he also starred
as a first baseman. He joined the Balti
more club in 1893, coming to the Orioles
along with Harry Taylor, from Louis
ville. In 1894, 1895 and 1898 Hughle was the
shortstop for the champion Baltimore
teams and in 1899 and 1900 played first
base for the champion Brooklyn In
1907 he was appointed manager of the
Tigers and promptly stepped in and won
the American league pennant. He re
peated this performance in 1908 and 1909.
"With Ty Cobb, who is believed to be
slated to succeed Jennings, Claude Ross-
man, Sam Crawford, (jnariey u iary,
George Mullln. Bill Donovan, George Mo
rtally, Jim Delehanty, Ownle Bush,
George Wlllet, Eddie Summers and oth
ers, Jennings had as great a fighting ag
gregation of players as has ever been
gotten together yes. as great as the
newly crowned world's champion Indians
In fighting spirit, and a greater team In
actual strength.
The passing of Jennings as manager of
the Tigers does not necessarily mean
that he is going to pass from the base
ball spotlight He is very liable to be
found managing some other American
or even a National league club next sea
son, as there will be plenty of changes
made In managerial ranks.
John May Oppose Bill

Dobie's Loss Mourned at "W"
hi ft H hi ft ft
New Coach for 1921 Certain
, By George Berts
TTAND writing on the walls in Seattle
indicate that the University ef
Washington will have a new football
coach for the 1921 season.
Expressions heard on the Sun-Dodger
campus last week-end bring out the fact
that Leonard Allison, who succeeded
Claude Hunt as athletic director, is
through. Allison, it Is said, has another
position lined up for next year.
Washington is still mourning the loss
of Qilmour Dobie. Though the tall Scot
has been away for a period of three
years, it Is still crying for his return. It
appears as though Washington cannot
forget Dobie, for it was he who put
Washington in the position it occupies
in the coast football circles today.
FEELING IS HANDICAP
There Is a feeling at Washington that
no coach can ever gain the success with
teams that Dobie accomplished. That is
logical. Dobie was a great coach, and
it is doubtful If another mentor would
be able to duplicate his record.
The feeling toward Dobie, It is said,
caused Hunt to resign his position be
fore his contract terminated. It is
handicapping Coach Allison In his work
this year, and it may eventually result
in his dismissal.
Rumors were heard that Washington
intends to bring out a high class east

It is good policy in the automobile business to enter the spring selling season with, as
small a stock of used cars as possible. This permits us to make better trades, on new
cars, enabling us to get a larger volume of new car business than we would otherwise
secure. For this reason we are prompted to reduce our stock of used cars at this time.
To do so quickly and have it over with, we have cut our prices to a -point that is bound
to move our stock. The sale will last two weeks and, of course, the man who buys
early will get the best ch6ice. Every car bears a red tag and both former and cut price
listed. The saving is plainly shown and in every case it is a very substantial one.
Reasonable terms if desired, with no brokerage charges.
We handle our own notes.

ern coach for Its 1M1 eleven. Whether
negotialons have been opened already
Is not known, but It Is generally eon
ceded on the campus that there will be
a new man next year.
The fact that "Wee" Coyle rushed to
the aid of his alma mater before the
gams with the Oregon Aggies indicated
that Allison was being supported by a
weak foundation. Dobie's style of line
smashes predominated In the' Aggie
game, and from now on Washington is
expected to travel at a high rate of
speed.
There is plenty of material at Wash
ington. The "bear" stories about the
number of letter men on other confer
ence teams were spread broadcast but
Washington has just as many veterans
aa have the other aggregations.
GRIDIRON PLATERS MAKING
MANY LONG RUNS THIS TEAR
Though the Coast football season has
lust reached Its halfway mark, a num
ber of long rung for touchdowns have
already been registered. The longest
run of the present season was made by

OFFICIAL QUESTION WILL
BE TALKED OVER AGAIN
When the coaches of the Pacific coast
conference assemble at the close of the
football season to make recommenda
tions to the conference meeting in San
Francisco in December, some action
toward the selection of officials for the
1S21 games will be discussed. Consid
erable trouble has been experienced this
season In agreeing upon officials for the
various games.
There Is a lot of unnecessary squab
bling over the selection of officials.
There Is no reason why officials foe
games cannot be selected months ahead
of the contests. Alternate officials
should also be named in case df. Illness
or Injuries.
