STARTE IN|NDIANA
Indiana Is First State In the Union
To Begin Campaign Toward
Owning Own Home.

The first statewide "0wn Your Own
Home" campaign In the United States
Is reported to the Division Of Public
Works and Construction Development
Of the Department OF Labor. The
campaign Is on In the State Of Indiana
and behind 1t as the directing force
Is no less an organization than the
Indiana State Chamber OF Commerce,
Of which John c. Snyder of Crawfords-
vile Is president and John e. North
way Of Columbus Is secretary. Much
Of the work in connection with the
statewide campaign will fall on A. w.
McKeand Director of Extension.
There are eighteen cities in the
United States in which "Own Your
Own Home" campaigns are under way
or about to start, but the Indiana
State Chamber of Commerce is spon-
sor for the first movement for a CAM
paign to take in every hamlet, village,
and city in a state. 1t is understood
that this campaign may be extended
over a period of five years and it is
not improbable that the Indiana State
Chamber of Commerce finally may de-
eide to maintain as a permanent de-
partment Of its organization an "Own
Your Own Home" bureau which will
be on the job every day of every year
Mr.. A. w. McKead, extension direc-
tor of the Indiana organization, has
written the Division Of Public Works
and Construction Development asking
its cooperation in the Indiana cam
paign. All the machinery of the De-
partment Of Labor, in so far as It
touches the Indiana field will be lined
up to cooperate and assist whenever
opportunity offers. A representative
of the Department of Labor will go to
Indiana to study the Gown Your Own

that its attractive features may be
passed on to other cities and states.
The following from Mr.. McKeand's
letter indicates the scale on which the
Indiana campaign will be prosecuted
as well as the method:

O'DOWD IS GIVEN
PRESSDECISION
Has a Shade the Best of Mike
Gibbons; Fierce Blood
Battle

st. Paul. Mimi, Nov. %. - Mike
O'Dowd, middleweight champion,
and Mike Gibbons fought ten fierce
and bloody rounds here last night.
O'Dowd had the best of the battle
but he had to fight to get the honor.
Gibbons was game until the finish.
He was badly punished and O'powd
had to wear down his opponent by
continued terrific punches.
Examination of Gibbons right
hand showed it was badly bruised
and that possibly small bones were
broken. Gibbons said he hurt it in
the sixth round. George Barton,
Minneapolis. and Ed. l.. Shave, st.
Paul, sport writer's who acted as
secondary referees, both gave the
fight to O'Dowd. Sport writer's were
agreed that Gibbons is far from the
fighter he was three years ago.
Gibbons Leads For a Time
The first round was rather tame.
In the second Gibbons had every
thing his own way, hitting O'Dowd
on the jaw several times. The third
round was about even. both landing
heavy blows on the jaws. Gibbons
got in several uppercuts in the
fourth round and was given every
thing in that period. D'Dowd was
mad in the fifth and sailed into Glib
bons. The latter received several
hard blows on the face and head.
1t was O'Dowd's round.
Gibbons did all the fighting in the
sixth. and was given great applause
for his clever footwork. In the
seventh the champion began to
rough it, but Gibbons was equal to
everything O'Dowd offered and the
round was even. Gibbons eye both
cred him in the eighth, having re-
ceived hard bunch in the previous
period, but he was game. O'Dowd
was the winner all through this
round, hitting Gibbons on the stom-
ach a number of times.
Gibbons Forces Fighting
In the ninrh Gibbons began to
force the fighting but O'Dowd again
opened Gibbons left eye and sent
Mike to the ropes. O'Dowd kept on
top of Gibbons and kept the phan-
tom busy. O'Dowd crashed a right
to Gibbons jaw. At this stage of the
battle ODowd had a slight lead.
They traded wallops. O'Dowd land
ed two straight lefts. 1t was O'Dowd's s
round.
They shook hands for the final
round. Gibbons hooked a left to
the jaw. Gibbons again beat O'Dowd
to the punch. O'Dowd spat blood as
he backed into Gibbons corner.
ODowd missed two blows to the
body. Gibbons pummeled O'Dowd's
stomach. The men seemed tired and
cllnched. Gibbons landed a left to
the jaw. The men were fighting vi
ciously when the final bell rang.

Harvard Primed For Big
Battle With Yale Today

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. %. -
Harvard and Yale approached the
annual settlement of the football
claims to-day with the players
primed to make their utmost effort.
Both teams were reported fit" by
trainers and coaches and the en-
thusiasm among their adherents ran
riot.
Approximately $4,000 football-mad
spectators streamed out to the Har-
ward stadium to watch the teams in
their first contest since 1916. Thou
sands of others, disappointed be-
couse of thir inability to procure
tickets awaited the outcome on the
streets or in gathering places where
bulletins were posted. Boston news
papers, under orders in effect since
the state guard has been on police
duty there were not permitted to
display bulletins of the game but ar
ranged to publish many extra
editions.
Tie heavy blanket of straw placed
on the field Wednesday was not suf-
ficient to make the playing surface
perfect. Uncertain footing handicap
ped neither team to any particular
extent. however, according to the
records of the backficld runners.
Weather conditions appeared to
4, favor the spectators, as the day
opened mild and fair.

Pay High Prices For Seats
at Harvard-Yale Game

Boston, Mass. Nov. 22.-As high
as 500 pair is reported having
been paid for choicest seats near the
middle of the field for the Harvard
Yale gridiron battle in the stadium
to-day. The average price for good
seats is around $50. though many
are said to have been sold to-day in
excess of that figure. Nothing is
offered for less than $40 a pair.
Though these are high prices, it is
not a good year for spectators. for
the reason that they have not been
able to secure n very liberal supply
of the precious pasteboards. Though
the specs" never have had a super
abundance of tickets for the Har-
vard- Yale game in former years. the
number they have been able to Sc
cure this year is much smaller than
ever before. Prices are showing a
decided upward tendency as the hour
of tie game draws near. and the
speculator's position is enhanced by
the weatherman's announcement
that the weather will probably be
fair and somewhat warmer.

Important questions of interest to
trapshooters will be discussed in New
York city on December .. Plans for
next year will be taken up by the
executive and amateur committees or
the American -Trapshooting Associa-
ton,
represented by a trapshooting team
in the Olympic games in Belgium
next summer:
Where the Grand American Handi-
cap Trapshooting Tournament will be
held in 1920. and when:
How much in dues should the
amateur trapshooter be assessed to
further promote the lsport:
Whether the United States and
Canada should be divided into state
or sectional zones to give better man :
agement, are some of the things that
will come up for consideration at the
Joint meeting of executive commlttee
of the American Trapshooting Assoc
citation and the amateur committee
in New York on December 2. And
these questions and thousand others
will have to be answered at that time
for provision must be made tnen
for the season of 1920.
We can say right off the bat that
the United States Will be represented
in the Olympic games by team OF
trapshooters and that the expenses OF
the team will be borne by the Trap
shooters of the United States. How
this expense viii be apportoneu l

knowledge at this time as to how the
team will be selected, but I see no
reason why the highest ten men in
the 1919 averages should not be Sc
lected. The high ten will be Just
about the best combination in the
Country. and the high five will be Just
about the best team in the world.
Three of the first five will be Mark

Now that Johnny Gill is coming

trying to get him into the ring on

first be considered in making a match
and that is weight. Gilrs fighting
weight is 14S pounds. He is willing

When they talk about Gill meet

the latter because Gill refuses to
make a match. there is something
back of this kick. The Borrell crowd
want an easy thing. If they mean
business and sign up Borrell to fight
