These reports, which splashed! headlines of “Nazi terror” across ; the tops of newspapers, were an- j swered by a German retort of “pure I nonsense.”

It was announced in Berlin at midnight that the rumors Were “spun from thin air’’ and that all was peaceful in Germany.

NEW STORM SWEEPS COAST
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. — <U.E> —While California continued to dig out from the wreckage of one of tt? worst gales in many years, a new storm, vast in extent but mild in intensity, swept over the Pacific coast today.
The all-time San Francisco record for consecutive days of rain— 15 today—Was equalled, and the weather bureau said the record would be broken, for the rains will continue.
The furious winds which piled trees, buildings, and communication and power lines into highways and streets were spent, but in their Wake came a steay downpour which brought a serious threat erf flood conditions.
Rivers in the inland agricultural valleys were rising rapidly and flowing over embankments into lowlands.
Property damage through the central and northern part of the state reached into millions, and some sections were still without communication facilities.
Hardly a area in several hundred miles escaped the fury of the Pacific gale. In the high altitudes the rains turned to snow and a blanket from six to 20 feet deep lay over the Sierra Nevada. Crews fought to open roads and keep railroads clear.

Dig Scheduled For Monday
By Rocky Spicer
They say that Sam Barry’s Trojans walk the last mile tonight; that their numbers up; that Executioner Hank Luisetti stands ready to throw the switch for keeps this time.
Cocky and confident in their newly-regained scoring power that has enabled them to run up at least 60 points in the last three games, the Stanfords have prepared themselves for a Roman holiday this weekend at the expense of Southern California.
According to the script, the zero hour will come at 8 o'clock tonight when the Trojans and Indians square off in the Pan-Pacific auditorium.
Plans for the largest organized rooting section of the current basketball season were completed yesterday by Bob Myer, Trojan yell-king. Segregation of rooters by members of Knights and Squires is expected to effect more efficient control by the yell leaders.
“All students should arrive at the game early.’* Myer said, “so as to both obtain good seats and participate in the cheering. The Trojan band will be on hand to lend color and help create enthusiasm among the rooters.”
Partly because of its rejuvenation, partly because of the Trojans’ crippled condition, but mainly because of the presence of Hank Luisetti— Stanford goes into tonight's duel a favorite. This is Luisetti’s last appearance in Los Angeles as a member of the Indians (dismissing the possibility of a U.S.C.-Stanford playoff) and the “Signor of Swish” Continued on Page Three
