200 DEAD, 300 MISSING, LATE
 FLOOD REPORT
Condition So Chaotic Cali fornia Region, Hard
 to Make Check

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March 15- Estimates of the number of homeless persons in the flood area varies as eyer-changing fig ures on the death toll results from the chaotic conditions of the devastating sweep of flood makes it almost impossible to get a definite line of the number of persons who lost their homes
 Most of those affected keep up a tragical hunt for missing rela- tiyes but they do not keep in che place long enough to give much information on families or homes.
 The toll of death fluctuates on wide margins and today stands in the neighborhood of 200 with 300 persons missing.
 Shattered communications and mud-bound countryside make it impossible for positive checking. Bodies recovered are removed from one morgue to another morgue.

N YEW YORK, November 26.-The

4 and two games set for Decem-
Der will wind up the Eastern
schedule for this year. What foot ball
there is in the East thereafter will con-
sist chiefly of arguments over who Is
and who Is not entitled to the mythical
Eastern championship.
There are five outstanding battles
on the turkey day schedule involving
foes of long standing. Cornell can take
little more than hope to Philadelphia

mighty Pennsylvania machine stopped
only by the Navy.
Until the Colgate disaster. Syracuse
figured to defeat Columbia with COM
parative ease, but the Orange showed
nothing in the rout by Colgate to en-
title it to more than a shade over the
lions of Columbia.

dence looks like one Of the best games
of the day. Quietly, Tuss McLaughry

CHICAGO, November 26.-Minne-
sofas "Bonecrushers," who lost the
championship by falling to score two
points after touchdownS are the scor-
ing champions of the Big Ten foot ball
race, which ended Saturday.
Its quarterback, Freddy Hovde, won
individual scoring honors by piling up
Sd points, while the Gophers led in
team scoring with 178 points. Wis
consin was second in team scoring with
l48 points. The champion Illini were
first in defense, only 16 points being
scored against them in eight games.
In individual scoring, the leaders fin
ished after Hov6e as follows: Oran
Pape, Iowa, 48; Win Brockmeyer, Min
nesota, 43; Fritz" Humbert, Illinois

Cuisiner, Wisconsin. 81; Mayes Nc
Lain, Iowa, 81; Walter Holmer, North
western, 81; "Eb" Caraway, Purdue, 80
and Willis Glasgow, Iowa. 80.
Scoring statistics reveal that field
goals were a great rarity in the Big
Ten this year. In 80 games, only seven
were kicked. Three of these were booted
by Michigan, which had the surprisingly
low total OF four touchdownS in eight
games. Two Of Michigan's field goals
netted the Wolverines their only two
victories. Kicking for extra points after
touchdowns also was the most unsuc-
cessful in many years. Only SO were
good out of 166 attempts. Capt. Walter
Holmer of Northwestern was the ace
of the Big Ten in that department
