complete so far and some uncon-
firmed, and based only on frag-
mentary, uno f f ic i al reports,
ranged between 200 and 700.
The estimate of 700 dead was
made by the Miami Beach Tri-

war veterans from a camp on Up
per Metacombe, one of the Flor

of the storm, as saying that sos
men had been killed there and AZ
were missing.
That report received some sub

wireless message to the Red Gross

Any other information that you

TRUCKMEN To
Be GOVERNED
BY NEW LAW

Percie c. Thacker of the Pioneer
Truck and Transfer company has
Just returned from a Joint conven-
tion Of the California Van and
Warehouse association, and the
United Independent Van and V0re-
houSemen'S association, held at San
Luis Opispo. Thacker reports large
attendance OF truck operators
throughout the entire state to con-
slider recent legislation which re-
quires that all motor ruck opera
ors for compensation in the state
shall make application to the Cal
ifornia railroad commission on or
before September Is for license to
operate.
The principal speaker before the
convention was Jas. McCafferey,
manager Of the Los Angeles office
Of the railroad commission, who
explained very thoroughly the re-
/ quirements Of the commission and
stated forms and instructions for
filing of applications were in the
mails and should be received by
all operators within a few days.
There are three distinct divisions
of highway transportation under
the act and each operator must de-
eide under which division he pro-
poses to operate in the future.
either as a highway contract car
rier. radial common cIITier. or as a
city hauler.
One Of the main requirements
demands that all operators over
the state highways must carry
public liability and property dam
age insurance on each truck oper-
ated and that a copy of insurance
policy must accompany the appi-
cation.
There is also an additional tax
of l, of ! per cent Of the gross
revenue derived from Suol opera
tions and said tax shall be figured
from the first day of July last TO
September 8, and this tax must be
paid to the railroad commission on
or before October Is.
There will be a meeting of all
interested operators in the valley
within the next few days at which
time it is hoped to have Dave
Shearer of Los Angeles speak and
explain any matters that may come
up in order to assist the truckmen
in getting lined up under the new
law. If there is any information
that he can give in the meantime
to any operator Thacker states that
he will be only too glad to assist
them if they will call upon him.

Orthodox Game Is Best.

FAN GOOD deal is being written about
N the possibilities of lateral passing
next year, to the general effect
that the game will be something OF
O helter-s -skelter affair, with the ball
constantly changing hands after a
gain is made with it past the line OF
scrimmage. Such plays undoubtedly
will take place, but likely are to be
the exception rather than the usual.
Coaches generally are going to hesi-
tate a good while before nullifylng a
good gain by taking chance Of let
ting the ball go out of possession of
their team. Indiana last Fall had
some plays of the general character
of those expected next season. but did
not depend on them for the main
ground gaining. One play Indiana
used was a backward pass after an
end run, then a forward pass, and
after that another backward pass.
And, difficult as such a play seems,
the play was completed, although
without much gain. The one factor
governing such plays to large ex-
tent a factor that makes them ex-
tremely difficult, is the simple physl-
cal inability of a player to see what
Is behind him at the same time he
watches for what may be in front.

Pay Tribute to McAboy.

TT WOULD be difficult to find an
i athlete anywhere with more of the
sterling virtues of which human
beings should be proud than Lyman
McAboy, star Maryland boxer who
had his hand broken in the semi
final of the Southern Conference
tournament at Charlottesville and was
unable to take part in the final, in
which he practically was certain OF
the championship.
Honesty, loyalty, faithfulness and
courage are McAboy'S makeup, and
if these qualities count for success
then McAbey is going to be successful
in whatever he undertakes. Last night
at a dinner in honor OF the boxing
team McAboy's teammates presented
him with a trophy similar to the
trophies given in the Southern Con-
ference, but differently inscribed. In
his sophomore year McAboy was un-
able to take part in the Southern Con-
! ference tournament because of an in
fected tooth, last year he failed to
win the final bout, Notwithstanding he
was against one of the best college
boxers ever seen in the South, be-
cause OF severe cut ne got over his
eye in the semi-final in the afternoon
and which was opened again in the
second round of the final at night.
And this year he was conceded to
be the class of his weight, and was
so good that his opponent in the fina.
intended to forfeit to him, but he
himself was compelled to forfeit be-
cause he broke the largest bone in hi:
! hand in the first round of the semi
final in the afternoon.
So much did McAboy desire to wir
the Southern Conference title that ht
fought through two rounds with thai
broken hand and wanted to figh'
again at night, but when he was no
allowed to try to put on gloves h,
swallowed his keen disappointment
with the cheerfulneSs and courage
that indicate the man who never /!
whipped. There are other boxers o.
courage, too, men with real fighting
hearts, but circumstances have con.
spired to throw these qualities int
the center of the spotlight for NC
Aboy. and to him should go all the
praise that accrues to the model ath.

next year will be the teams that have
fine running backs, who can be de-
pended on for short gains that have
been the mainstay of offensive foot
bali since foot ball first became OF
recognized Importance. Colgate was
heralded far and wide last season as
a team that specialized in all kinds
of pass plays that took place not at
the place of origin behind the line
of scrimmage, but after the players
had carried the ball well down the
field, yet if the diagrams that Andy
Kerr, coach of Colgate. placed on the
blackboard at a meeting in Phila-
delphia were any criterion, Colgate
had very small variety of such plays
and depended for the most part for
its real ground gaining on orthodox
foot ball. Such plays, though, and
the advertising they got, protected
and aided the orthodox methods of
ground gaining by keeping the oppoSi-
ton constantly on the lookout for
them
