Chicago, Nov. 3-AsscrtinG that I'M
scrupulous operators of baseball pools

of thousands of dollars, each season,
Fan Johnson, president of the Amer

pCctcd to bring this form of gambling

annual meeting in December with a
recommendation that immediate ac-
ton be taken.
'In addition to holding out the
large percentage which naturally
comes to the owners of the pools"
Mr.. Johnson said, 1--WE have reason to
believe that the winners frequently
are not paid off and that tickets are
held out and jugglcd about in such
manner that the nominal sums
which ordinarily would go to the win
ncrs are not paid"
President Johnson said that opera :
tors of large professional pools were
the principal offenders and added

KENT'S HILL ALL
PINNED TO TACKLE
BIG C0pURN SQUAD
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

kents Hill Seminary, Nov. g.
The Kont's Hill grid warriors who
defeated Hebron last Saturday have
been putting in a hard weeks work
in preparation for the Coburn game
tomorrow. The team came out of the
Hebron fray with few injuries and
none serious, hYt several of the first
string were given a rest during the
first few days of the week as only IL
men were used against Hebron. King,
the stalwart right guard, is nursing
a tender ankle, but was in toys
Thursday for a stiff scrimmage. Hun
newell, the other guard was given Il
rest as also were half backs, Carleton
and Iveney and the speedy little right
end, Cottcr. They watched the prac-
tice from the sidelines Tuesday and
Wednesday, but got into the scrim-
mage on Thursday.
There has been NJ slackening in eff
fort in getting ready to face Coburn,
as the Waterville eleven is rated as
tough opponent and the Kent's Hill
team will have to travel to chalk up
a win. The week has been given over
10 pOllSnlnS UP tnc weak points Wnlch
cropped out in the last game and it
is expected that the Hill team will go
On the field stronger than at any time
this season.
Much interest is being shown in the
coming game by the supporters Of
both schools and especially as it is to
be the last game Of the year for the
fighting Hill team. The game is to
be handled by Tad" O'Rrien of Lew
iston, one of the best referees officiat-
ing in the State, SO both teams are
assured a well managed game. The
game is to be played at Kent's Hill.

COBuRN EXPECTS
PLOW HOLES IN
HILL Boys Defense:

Especial to the Kcnnebcc JournaD
Watcrville, Nov. 3-At ten thirty
Saturday morning Coburn's football
! squad leaves by machine for Read
field, where they will mix skill and
brains on the gridiron. The game
has an unusual amount of interest
for the fans, as Kent's Hill succeeded
in setting back the fast Hebron clev-
| en-. Coburn and Hebron do not play
! together so this will be the best di-
| rect means of comparison.
| Last night the signal practice was
| the best ever seen on the field dur
| ing the year. The eleven somewhat
| crippled, went through the signals
and plays with more spirit and pep
than has been displayed since the
| season opened. 1t is very doubtful
whether O'Brien, Moran or Ingraham
will enter the fray. These boys have
been laid up with serious colds.
This weeks practice was devoted
| mostly to center plungcs and off
| tackle plays. 1t was the opinion of
| the crimson and gold mentor that
| the Kent's Hill line would yield con-
siderably in these points. With his
| offcnse on these plays the boys havo
| concentrated so that three mon go
| through the hole before the man
, with the ball. These plays should
| cause considerable worry to the OBJ
poncnts.
| A big disappointment to the team
was the injury of Thibodcau. CHI re-
! ccived a blow in the head at practice
| WI irh III l.
!, to stop playing for a few days. Dur
ing the past week several, in fact al
most all of the aerial attack and end
runs were built around the hashy
! half back. 1t is believed that it will
force the coach to concentrate on
! line work
! With the absence of Ingraham and
+, Thibodeau from the game the burden
of kicking will fall upon Hymie Sha-
! nahan. Hymie has been doing some
| good bootng but it is not believed
| that he is in the same class as the
! big tackle.

NAVY KIbOSHES.
penn STATE THREE
YEAR RECORD 14-o

American League Park, Washing
ton, Nov. 3-Penn State, undefeated
in three seasons, was defeated here
today by the Navy, IA too. Forward
passing gave the navy its first score
while Cullen scored the second
touchdown with 'firteen yard run,
after recovering a tumble.
In the last few minutes, Penn State
mixed long forward passes with end
runs for the longest sustained gain
OF the game. Navy held, however,
within the shadow of it's goal and
the game was over.
Penn State suffered it's first foot
ball defeat today in three years, 60
ing down before the powerful navy
eleven. In marking up a IA to O,
score, the midshipmen staged a
comeback after their beating by the
University of Pennsylvania last week
and evened up the count following
their defeat by the Nittany Lions
just a year ago.
Both elevens got away to a ragged
start, but after that, each side dis
played a dash and, at times, 4 bril-
OF excitement for the largest and
most distinguished crowd that ever
attended a football game in Washing
ton, Governor Sproul and his official
staff came down from Harrisburg to
lend encouragement to the Lions,
while official Washington was largely
represented. Members of the cabin
ct, as well as foreign diplomats,
navy and army officers and others in
official life were on hand.
Penn State twice carried a threat
to the Navy in the first period, once
with line charges and passes and
again by recovering tumble, but it
lacked the punch to carry the ball
over, and on each occasion Palms
try at a field goal failed. After that
the forward and double passing game
OF the Lions carried but little of a
puzzle for the mdshipmen, until the
closing minutes Of play. Then it
was too late.
Carl Cullen's ability not only to get
distance for his backs, but to place
them out of the reach of the waiting
backs, proved a potent factor in
Nays victory. 1t was gain of
twenty yards in an exchange of punts
in the second period that the Navy
put into play the drive that carried
the ball over for touchdown. Mix
ing forward passes with line thrusts.
the midshipmen advanced twenty
yards and then Mckee ,,hot a long
pass. Taylor grabbed the ball at the
goal line and fell across for the first
six points.
Again in the third period Cullen's
punts set Penn State back TO within
| the shadow of its goal, where one of
its backs fumbled after two Navy
forwards had tackled him. Cullen
scooped the ball up and ran the fif-
teen yards to a score.
The lineup and summary:
A
