LOSS OF LIFE IS HEAVY

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Six relief
workers were ordered today by the
National Red Cross to go to the New
England flood area and take charge
of relief work there.
Death and destruction were today
riding the crest of angry flood waters
that swirled In unprecedented fury
over five New England states, part of
New York and up into Canada.
The cost, in human life and in prop-
erty damage, could not be counted,
for the waters had not receded to re-,
veal the full tragedy of their passing,
and coinnhunication to many of the
most seriously devastated districts
was still completely destroyed'
It wals easy to estimate, however,
that the loss in property will run well
into the millions of dollars, and it is
feared that when the final count of
human sacrifice to the storm's ferocity
is made the total will be more than a

Houses in the whole districts were

WITH MiCHIGAN
WOLVEUNES FAVORED TO WIN
FIRST GAME BETWEEN
TEAMS SINCE 1920
GILBERT BACK IN LINEUP
Stagg's Defense Against Pass Attack
Will Determine Outcome Of
Today's Game
By Herbert E. Vedder
CHICAGO, Nov. 5-Memories of an
intense rivalry of the dimming past
will be freshened in the hearts and
minds of thousands of Michigan and
Chicago alumni and supporters, and
the present generation of students at
these two great middle-western uni-
versities will enter upon a new era
of gridiron competition when the Ma-
roons and Wolverines battle once
again this afternoon on Stagg Field.
The game will start at 2 o'clock
central time, which 3 o'clock Ann
Arbor time.
Revamped and shaken up, Michi-
gan is the favorite, but this makes no
'difference to the old master of the
Midway. Michigan, after her defeat
b,y Illinois, is ready to rip into Chi-
cago with vengeance; the Wolverines
.are in perfect shape, but this makes
no difference to Stagg-he knows he
has a great team and that no Michi-
i gan-Chicago game is decided before
the battle.
Tragically it would seem, but nev-
ertheless true, the figure of Fielding
H. "Hurry Up" Yost will be missing
from the active combat in today's re-
newal of conflict with the men of
Stagg. The names of Heston, Eck-
ersall, and Curtis are also missing,
1 but in their places stand those of
Oosterbaan, Gilbert, Baer, Rouse,
Mendenhall and others. Tomorrow
will be another great Maroon-Wol-
verine combat; nothing else is pos-
sible.
Michigan's starting lineup was un-
announced when Coach Tad Wieman
and the team boarded the train this
afternoon, but it is probable that the
-starting whistle will see Miller at
the quarterback post, wvith Gilbert at
one half, Puckelwartz or Whittle at
the other, and Rich at fullback. Dom-
hoff and Fuller are almost certain t-
see service during a part of the con-
test.

BOSTON, Nov. 4.-Flood waters to-
night still gripped New England. Rain
had ceased in most sections, but
streams which had taken a toll of at
least a dozen lives and probably more
continued to rise. Railroad service
was paralyzed in Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Western Massachusetts.
Scores of bridges have been swept
away with several dams. Highways
were many feet deep in water over an
extensive area. The damage will be
several imillion dollars.
All.day thre were rumors of heavy
loss of life in Mentpelier and Barre,
Vermont. Both cities were cut off
from all communication and the ru-
mors could not be confirmed. Last
night both placed reported heavy
storm damage, and Montpelier sent an
appeal to Burlington for boats for
use in the flooded streets.
The flood came without warning.
The heavy rains of the past summer
had left the streams higher than usual
at this season. Rain began to fall yes-
terday in Vermont and Western Mas-
sachusetts. Last night it became a
downpour and spread into New Hamp-
shire and eastern Massachusetts. The
rainfall varied from three to seven
inches in different localities. Count-I
less brooks carried surface flow intol
the little rivers which quickly became
rushing torrents, went over their
banks and in. turn sent a mighty vol-
nine of water into New England's1
great rivers,the Connecticnt and the
Merrimac.I
There was no withstanding the force
of* the walls of water which swept
down the valleys. Foundations of.
bridges crumbled and the superstruc-
t'umes crashed into the streams. Where,
:uai!ll streams had been damned to1
form reservoirs or mill ponds the
great a(ldded weight of water burst the
damn. Hiouses were swept away by the
deluge and hundreds of others were
left standing with water up to their!
second storys or higher.

Michigan's telar guard, recovered!
from his injuries sustained in lastj
two games, is expected to prove a
stumbling block to Chicago line plung-
ers today.
BAND WILL PLAY
ON ST AGG FIELD
THIS AFTERNOON!
About 75 members of the 'Varsity
band, Director Nicholas Falcone, and
Robert A. Campbell, treasurer of the
University, left yesterday noon for
Chicago, where they played at a din-
iner given by the Chicago and Detroit
alumni last ight.
This noon, the band will again ;play
at an alumni dinner, and will go di-j
rectly from there to Stagg field forI
the Michigan-Chicago football game in
the afternoon..
Much rivalry is expected on Stagg
j field between the bands of the two in-
stitutions as they are both of the same
size and play about the same style off
music. According, to reports, the
drum-major of the Chicago band has
been out of school for a few years and
is considered one of the best in the
Middle-West. The Michigan band will
form the block "M" before the game,
and the M-I-C-H between the halves.
One of the musical features of the
trip will be'the playing of a new medley
of Michigan songs, which was just
completed by Nicholas Falcone, the
new director of the band. It is said tc
be one of the best pieces ever written
for rendition by a band, and to be
especially suited to the 'Varsity organ-
ization.
Tonight, the band will be on leave.
The members will return on the same
I train with the football team, leaving
at midnight and arriving in Ann Arbor
at 7:30 o'clock'Sunday morning.

In the line Capt..Bennie Oosterbaan.

and Palmeroli at tackle and guari
posts on the same side of the Wol-
verine forward wall, Bovard will b;
at center with Baer, Gabel and prob-
-Ably Nyland on the right side of tht
line, although Heston may get the
call at end in place of the latter.
Coach Stagg has not announced the
Maroon lineup definitely, but it is
expected that Preiss and Apitz will
be at the end berths, Weislow and
Lewis at the tackles, Weaver ano
Wolff at guard, and Captain Rouse
at center, MacDonough at quarter,
'Mendenhall and Anderson at the
halves and Burgess at full will prob-
ably compose the Chicago backfield
combination.
Although the Maroon team does not
boast a punter of Gilbert's ability,
Stagg has developed three capable
kickers in Anderson, ;MacDonough.
and Mendenhall. MacDonough is cf
sidered the most accurate of t.- .
trio, although Anderson gets more
distance on his punts.
Libby Returns
Chicago's passing game may be
considerably strengthened by the re-
turn of Vic Libby, who was injured in
the Purdue game and has not started
a contest since. Should Stagg start
him in the Maroon backfield, the
Chicago team will present two dan-
gerous_ passers, as Mendenhall is the
artist at the throwing end of Stagg's
long passing game.
The Maroon squad, with the single
exception of Bob Spence, end, will
be in good shape for the con test, as
Mendenhall, Grenebaum, Libby, and
Anderson have recovered from the
injuries that have been troubling
them. Likewise the Wolverines, ex-
cept for Joe Gembis, injured half-
back, and possibly Leo Hoffinan, will
be ready for service.
The result of today's cpntest will
hinge largely on the ability of the
Chicago defense to halt Michigan's
strong passing game which is certain
to be called into play frequently with
Gilbert back in the lineup.

LOS .ANGELESC, Nov. 4--A series
of moderately heavy earthquake
shocks along the central California
coast today halted railway traffic over
the Southern Pacific railroad north
of Santa Barbara and shook the in-
land town of Santa Maria more se-
verely than any earth disturbaince
since 1906.
The earth tremors continued dur-
ing the day. Seismographs at Sanw
Clara, California, recorded tremors ats
12:02 p. in., although no cities re-
ported they felt these shocks. The
main disturbances occurred after 5

The shocks apparently were heavi-
