GRANGE LEADS
 VESTS SCORERS

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-"Red" Grange of Illinois went into the lead in points scored in the Big Ten by carrying the ball over for the Illinis three touch downs in the game with Chicago yes- terday, but the only addition to the ranks of leading scorers was Marks of Idiana, who scored two touchdowns to defeat Ohio State. Baker of North western, who was tied with Grange for the lead last week with 54 points, did not add to his total and dropped to third when Rockwell of Michigan added 21 points to his previous 47 for 1aS. Harry Thomas of Chicago who made one touchdown yesterday, and Britton of Illinois, who scored point after touchdown three times, went into a tie for seventh place with Steger of Michigan at 30.
 Baker still is the leading field goal scorer with five, but is followed closely by Hancock of Iowa who has four.

that had piled up heavy score against everything it tackled since the season opened, was tied .21 to 21 by Chicago university, this year considered to be the weak sister of the Big Ten. Grange made all of the touchdowns for Illinois, but he could not beat Chicago alone. The Chicagoans went onto the field against three to one odds. If they could hold the downstate eleven from wearing out the grass around their goal, it was thought, they would be doing good days work. But to their own surprise, while waiting for the storm that never broke, they calmly put over three touch- downs and kicked as many goals.
 On the. Pacific coast they are still rubbing their eyes over the way the carefully laid plans of the experts were upset by the California Washington z to tie. The score did not tell the whole story, though, for California, which was doped to win, nearly lost the game and was only saved that embar- rassment by tumble on the part of their rivals.
 That is only three upsets. There were many others. Pennsylvania, re- puted to be one of the strongest teams in the east, succeeded in nosing out a. victory over Georgetown by a meagre 3-to-O score. Syracuse lost, z to 3, to West Virginia. Rutgers swamped La Fayette, 43 to z, in Princeton stadium and Colgate was overwhelmed by West Virginia, 34 to 2.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Saturday probably was the stormiest day that the old football dope bucket has ever weathered. If ever the dope was upset, spilled, scattered and stamped on, it was then.
 From north, south and west came wallops until there was hardly a stave left in place. Odds of ? and 3 to 1 splashed over the brim and fell on grid irons in all parts of the country.
 Finally up in Cambridge they kicked the bands off the hallowed old bucket and it fell to pieces completely as Prince ton smashed her old rival, Harvard, 34 to O, a result which even bewildered even the fans of Nassau
 Harvard had stood as a 2-to-1 favorite over Princeton. Even with those gen erous odds, the Orange and Black back CTS refused to cover such money. Then the game started and when it was over, despite expert predictions, the result was perfectly logical. Princeton had outplayed Harvard in every. department and shown her to be a surprisingly in efficient team.
 It was the most overwhelming defeat that either team has received in the half century of their rivalry.
 . But the Harvard reversal was just one of many. In every section of the country at least one major eleven suf- fered similar fate. In the middle west Illinois, with Red Grange, the eleven

CALIFORNIA AND STANFORD LEAD
Two Teams Will Meet For Pa
 cific Coast Title
(By Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The Pacific coast conference football race has narrowed down until it virtually hinges on a single game, the contest at Berkeley, November p, between Cali fornia and Stanford. They are the only undefeated teams.
 California has clinched it's position as a finalist, because the only game it has before the meeting with Stanford is on-conference affair with Nevada. Stanford must get by one more confer ence game, that with Montana next Saturday, but Sanford is heavy favor ite to win and only startling upset can prevent the Cardinals from going to Berkeley with. a flawless record.
 Though Stanford and California both rate perfect in the percentage column, Stanford for the moment has a slight edge, because it has won all it's games and California marred a sim liar record when it played a 7-to-7 tie with Washington at Seattle yesterday.

Howard's Scoring Play
 Was Simon Pure Fake

The play which cleaved the Ogle- thorpe line and allowed a Howard back to scamper through for Is yards and the Crimsons' only touchdown Satur- day was a real fake play, it transpired Sunday. The fake was the genuine ar ticle and fooled all hands involved. Captain Ham Stevens had dropped back and was calling signals. Just what play he had ordered from the Bulldog re- portoire was matter known to few Howard players and no spectators, since the signals are strictly a family affair in the Bulldog kennel.
 The Crimsons had the ball and Cap tain Stevens was back, as stated, and Harwood, substitute fullback, was play ing close behind the line The ball snap ped and Harwood, to his amazement, found the ball in his hands. Regarding the oval somewhat as the man gazed at

Then the football instinct overcome surprise and Harwood saw the Oglethorpe line open up in the center, la Red Sea, and he strolled unmolested across the goal line, 16 yards.

ROME, April 7.-Premier Mus

It is certain that the Fascist poll

With the victory thus won, Fas-

The commercial and industrial sec,
tionS of the city have been carried
OF. the auxiliary power plant insofar
as possible today, according to Joe
f. King. district manager.
Mr.. King has been at the termin-
al station office almost continuously
since the power went off on Satur-
day. He declared this noon that
every possible effort was being made
to repair the damage to the power
line and that there was much reason
to expect that the line would be re-
paired today unless there were other
breaks in the current than the one
at the Whitewater river crossing.
Local commercial and industrial
men have been subjected to con.
siderable losses because of the in
terruptiOn in power, according to
reports received at the Press office
this morning. Several of the heavier
losers have indicated their intention
of securing an attorney to prosecute
complaint for losses sustained. There
was no action filed at the county
clerk 5 office today, however, as far
as could be learend.
Many Are Affected
Creameries, restaurants, bakeries
aud hotels, as well as garages and
the moving picture houses in the
city, were among the principal firms
to be damaged by the stopping of
power.
Several of the local business men
criticized the Southern Sierras COM
pany for not having made more ade-
quate preparations for emergencies.
They held that the supplementary
power line, which is to tie in with
the San Diego power company 5
lines should have been built long
ago. One man declared that moth
ing but extraordinary good luck had
prevented Il similar interruption in
power supply long before this.
Mr.. King said this morning, that
the new power line would be built
lust as soon as the material has been
delivered, and that much of the
preparations were already complet-
ed.
The water supply plant has had to
depend entirely on Il single gasoline
engine TO keep the city supplied
with water during the absence OF
electricity. City officials stated that
in case of fire it would be almost
impossible to provide water IN sut-
ficient quantities.
Will r. Conway, proprietor OF the
Barbara Worth hotel, stated this
morning that he depended entirely
on electrical power to MAINTAIN ms
water system in the hotel.
Others Entail Loss
II. C. Stevens, proprietor OF
Steve's lace, stated that his losses
due to the absence of electricity had
reached at least $500 up to noon
TODAY. He declared that he had
been forced to throw away his en-
tire supply of meats because his
refrigeration system had been
thrown out of order
Arthur Brick, proprietor Of the
moving picture houses IN Il! Cen
FRO. said that he had been able to
operate only the Palace theatre,
there being small power plant
kept there for emergencies.
L. l.. Martin, proprietor OF the
National bakery, declared that his
loss had totalled considerable owing
TO the fact that he had had to throw
away most of the rolls, pies and

On both the north and south cf
Stanislaus are fresh outbreaks. One
