BETTING MACHINES IN
 VOGUE IN MARYLAND

Pari-mutuels now will dominate racing in his country until the sea son closes at the end of this month The machines are operated in Mary land and Kentucky, with enormous sums Of money changing hands each day. In Maryland. Laurel has been succeeded by Pinfl co. It is estimated that the pari-mutuels at Laurel have handled an average of al least s5OO.- oeo daily of which the track owners nave retained about per cent All or which means that the mutuel tracks are rolling in wealth. Maybe some day the machines will attract so much unfavorabIe attention that rac- ing itself will be in jeopardy. The
 rack owners might safeguard the sport by reducing the "rakeof or by limiting the speculation to s5 wagers.

from the way he has worked out problems that have not been con- fronted by a football team at liar yard in years.
 Whatever friction there may have been at Harvard has not been directed towards Fisher. There might have been several factors al work earlier in the sea son, when Horween Casey and Murray were ali striving for the captaincy. The final selection of Murray may not have been the best and for time caused some feeling, but for the good of Harvard these petty jealous es were soon cast aside and under Fisher all worked together in a common cause-to beat Prince ton and Yale.
 In one way, perhaps, the attack on Fisher and he rumors of the disor ganization of the Harvard team are not altogether the fault of the writers who exploited them. Fisher in way has been the victim this fall, and is paying the penalty for the custom that has long, long been employed at Harvard n treating newspaper men.
 Former coaches have shrouded their teams in mystery, and many
  on as Yale spies and not a few have been literally "shooed off" Soldiers Field by some 'teenth assis. .ant man ager. Then those who were in d position to talk have gone on the theory that silence is golden.''
 As consequence, in the past news gatherers with a rumor spinning around in their bonnet have gone off half-cocked, done lot of guessing and written some weird tales that were but half truths Had they found the powers that be- approach able and taken into their confidence there.
 But Bob Fisher has not been of the pre-war variety at Harvard. He has been approachable at all times, dem ocratic, courteous and willing to help the seeker after knowledge. He has realized that Q newspaper man was only human and appreciated that he was working for h:s bread and butter the same as he was.
 Many newspaper men have not ap- pFeciated this. They have kept away cold shoulder and the icy glare of a 'teenth assistant manager. As con- sequence they have not come into contact with Fisher. If they had they would have realized that while ''the Haughton system" was still in vogue on the gridiron, a Fisher sys- tenn had been introduced in meeting newspaper men.

PENN COACH REALIZES
 HIS AMBITION ON 25th
 ANNIVERSARY OF WORK

a What more could a rnan ask than to have h.s ambitions of 25 years realized on his silver anniversary?
 Dr. Charles M. Buck Wharton celebrated this event recently by de- claring "I am the happiest man in this world. Right now Penn has the greatest defensive line in it's history"
 For exactly a quarter of a century Dr. Wharton has given his services freely and unst ntingly to his alma mater in the capacity of athlete, phy- sician, coach and now director-gen- eral of athletics.
 A few gray hairs are the only sign that he comes from an earlier gener- alton, for Dr. Wharton's shoulders are today straighter and broader than any varsity candidate.

FISHER NOT UNP J ULa2 AT
 \ LlVAR :, S.-Y5 CRITIC
Denies Stories of Dssenson In Harvard Eleven and States That Head Coach Is Yell Liked By Players
 -Eaughton Not Called to Supplant rim

The Boston Post has the following reply to the recent attack on Coach Fisher of Harvard by another, Bos- ton paper:
 "The bitter attack made upon Head Coach Bob Fisher of Harvard and his methods Is along the lines of Bol- shevik propaganda and should he re- garded as such by the football pub lie. No Harvard man should take any notice of the vicious rumors pointed at the man who is guiding the destinies of this years Crimson football team, nor the one that he has been succeeded at Cambridge this week by former Head Coach Percy Haughton,s who is put in charge to whip order out of chaos, quell the rank disorganization that is said to have broken out in the ranks of the eleven, and give the players insight into football knowledge.
 Bob Fisher, both as a man and a football coach, needs no defence to Harvard graduates and undergrad uates. His record is enough and speaks for itself. The fact InaI Fisher saw fit to call to his assist ance in the last two weeks of the sea- son former Head Coaches Percy Haughton and Leo Leary is but an
 
 man.
 Fisher is a big enough and broad minded enough man to realize his limitations He, like everyone else who has followed football, realizes that whatever else they may think about Haughton as a coach he is su pren1e. In calling Haughton to his assistance Fisher acknowledges Eaughton's great tness- It was q great thing for him to do, and every one cannot help but admiring Bob Fisher a little bit more for doing it, even if it was just what might have been expected of a man of Fishers s calibre.
 Before assuming that Haughton is head coach, it might be well for those responsible for the rumor to find out just how much he has been there. Not many days last week and not on either Monday or Tuesday of this.
 All of the players stand by Fisher to man. They have realized from the first that he was one of the few that had the Haughton system down pat, and what was more had the ability to impart it.
 Every member of the squad knew when the season opened that the head coach had a tough =-b on his hands. It is the first season since the war. Things had to be reorgan- ized from the ground up. Fisher has done it in a masterly manner and has won admiration on all sides

DROP KICKERS
 IMPORTANT IN GaME TOMORROW

Boston, Nov. 21 Harvard and Yale are both through witt their training; the die is cast, and only he game remains to be played
 Both squads are in splendid condi- ton, with one large exception. The premier dropkicker Of each team is just coming through from an extend ed period of inactivity. Ralph Hor- ween of Harvard and Thorne Murphy of Yale will both be fit to get into the contest, but neither of them can last for long. It Is even likely that both will be held on the sidelines un- til the time is opportune for field goal-if such a time arrives.
 The impairment of the teams re- spective strengths is about equal. Murphy is rated as one of the strong men of the Yale backfeld and the surest kicker they have had at New Haven since the last days of Pum- belly. But his scoring power isn't all wrapped up in his right foot. For Murphy is sweet end-skirter and a splendid line plunger. And above all, he carries a personality in the back field that matches well with Captain -Callahan's spirit in the line.
 Murphy has been out of the game since Oct IS, the same day that Hor- ween was laid low at Harvard. Mur- pny was mixed up in scrimmage when Boston College whaled Yale in the Bowl, and he is the last of the Blue squad to recuperate from h-s punishment in that match. His leg was seriously injured, and at one time 1t looked like a fracture.
 But Murphy stands ready to get into the Harvard-Yale game this week, even if only for limited time. Indeed. he was able to play las week against Princeton if the necessity came. hut Yale never felt jmpelled to call on it's backfeld star till the last ouarter was almost spent and it was foo late for any revival. Besides, Yale has all along wanted to save Murphy for a final thrust at the Crimson team.
 Ralph Horween has seen little action since his shoulder was dis abled in the Harvard-Brown game four weeks ago For nearly half o1 the Princeton game he was playing 1T the Harvard ba ckfield with very tell in 2 results. Horween is the best line plunger that Fisher has, and his SUD stitutes are few. With the chances against Horween's being able to play more than perhaps a single period the coaches at Cambridge have beer grooming his young grother, Arnold to take over the job.
 Harvard suffers as much by Hor ween's injury in another phase of tn game as it does in line buck ng. Flo lalph is the only Crimson playe with anything like a perfect aim il hds drop-kicking. When Yale's an Harvard's losses in man power ar checked up it IS obvious that tn Crimson suffers the more throug Horween's disability than Yale doe through Murphy's absence. For Hal ward is without a dependable fiel goaler when Relph is out of tn game, while Yale still has a first sali bre man for that work in Jim Bra de1
 FeIton and Murray, the Harvar ouarterbacks, are moderately adeT in drop-kicking, but they are belo' Braden's class. And even with Ralp Horweeraand Thorne Murphy playin in their respective Hneups, Yal would still have the advantage, fe Murphy has been booting the ba

HARVARD AND
YALE SETTLE
CLAIMS TODAY
Crimson Enters Game as
Favorite Blue May
Come Back.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22.-Har-
and Yale approached the annual
settlement of their football claims to-
day with the players primed t o make
utmost effort. Both teams were
reported, fit by trainers and
coaches land the enthusiasm among
adherents ran riot.
Approximately $4,000 football mad:
spectators streamed out to. the Har-
ward stadium to watch the teams Nin
their first contest since 1916. @
Although experts declared that an
alysis of previous efforts could show
no reason for giving Harvard odds,
the Crimson entered the. game as the
.favorite. The results against Prince
ton showed Harvard the stronger, but
Yale's admirers believed the Blue was
due for a big comeback. &
The heavy blanket of straw placed
over the field Wednesday was not
sufficient to make the playing surface
perfect. Uncertain footing handi-
capped neither team, to any particular
extent, however, according toFthe rec
ords of the backfield runners.
Weather conditions appeared to ia
vor the spectators as the day opened

n met today in their strugglc7to de-
eide the championship of the Western

The weather before the game was
warm and a fine rain fell. The field
was soggy from a heavy rain last

eminent in western football. From
the beginning Of the season the Buck

all other opponents.
Relative scores confirm the judg-
ment of experts who figure either
team to win. Purdue succumbed to
Ohio State by a much larger score
than Illinois. On the other hand. the
Him crushed Michigan more de-
cisively than did he Ohioans. Wis
consin, which last week lowered its
colors to the locals, early in the sea-
son defeated Illinois IA to 10. y
Both coaches were uncertain as to
their respective lineups early today.
Center Holtkamp of Ohio State was
limos sure to adorn the bench dur
Ing the struggle on account of in
juries. Fullback Gangle OF the visit
ors was hurt during the week INT it
was possible that Carney might re-
place him at the last minute.
The greatest crowd in the history
of Ohio football was assured for the
game ten days ago. Late Corners who
have besieged athletic heads for tick
cts were given their last chance to
obtain admission early today when
standing room tickets for one thou
sand additional spectators were
placed on sale. Upwards of IL, 900
persons will view the clash.
Six hundred Illinois supporters arr
rived on a special train early today.

although several of the ringside ex-
perts called the bout a draw, h ma
jority gave O'Dowd a slight shade.

ever gathered in the st. Paul auditor
ium filled the spacious building last
~title-holder, and Mike Gibbons, the

a ten-round battle for the middle
weight championship of the world.
When Gibbons entered the ring at
9:35 o'clock it was estimated that the
receipts We're about $4,000.
O'Dowd followed at 9:37. Both
fighters were given tremendous ap-
plause.
A flood of light for the motion pic
lures was turned on as the w fight
ers examined each others bandages in
the middle of the ring. 1t was an
nounced that both fighters were un-
der a stipulated weight of 1853 pounds.
Curly Ulrich of st! Paul was intro
duced as official referee, while George

were selected as judges, occupied seats

Pack Mcfarland of Chicago,was the
only ring notable who was introduced
beside the principals. Mcfarland told
the crowd that he had decided to
stay fat, because he feared if he at
tempted to fight again he would lose
the little brains he had left"
The fighters were called to the mid
die of the ring by the referee at 9:4S.
The fight was so close that anyone
seemed entitled to his opinion.
O'Dowd out-slugged Gibbons When the
Phantom threw caution to the winds
and fought the champion. When Glib
bons resorted nov and then to his ia
;, nous boxing tactics he made O'Dowd
miss again. and again.
( ts From the opening gong 1t was evil
dent that the two st. Pau fighters
were determined to settle their long
standing feud by a knockout If pos
sible. Gibbons at times amazed his
followers by deliberately taking stiff
punches from o,Dowd in an effort to
land his dreaded right across.
EARLY in the fight O'Dowd's right
opened a deep cut I'VE Gibbons eye
and from then on Gibbons fought un-
der a handicap.
Gibbons had a slight shade at the
start Of the sixth round, but in the
opinion of some sport writers he losl
this lead when ne lrled TO Oul-Siue
the champion. O'Dowd seemed the
stronger when the fight was over. The
crowd gave o'Dowd the warmer re-
ception.
Promoter j. E. Reddy estimated the
total receipts to be slightly more than
$4,000. Gibbons received 80 per cent
Of the gross receipts out of which he
paid O'Dowd $4,000. Gibbons also
had the motion picture concession and
agreed to give O'Dowd rs per cent OF
