Secret Asia
To Be Bared

Roy Chapman Andrews
Of Gobi. Expedition
To Tell Story
Official Pictures
To Illustrate Talk
Speaker to Be at Villard
Next Monday Night
SIA, the -“mother of the eon
•iVtinents,” the cradle of the pri
mates, the remote ancestors of all
■mankind, has long kept its secrets
of this early life to itself. It re
eained for Roy Chapman Andrews
and his co-workers in the field to
furnish concrete proofs of the con
viction that Asia is indeed the cradle
of civilization. *
The story of how these proofs
were secured is an enthralling one;
it is the story of the work that has
been accomplished in the Gobi des
ert and elsewhere in Mongolia by
the American Museum Central Asi
atic Expeditions of 1922, 1923, and
1925 and which will bo told by Roy
Chapman Andrews, leader of the
expeditions, next Monday night in
Villard hall.
Third of Lecture Series
Andrews is the third speaker of
the student lecture series for this
year and he brings with him not
only his personal story, but thous
ands of feet of the most interest
ing motion picture film, which will
be shown during his lecture.
The pictures are a remarkable bit
of photography and depict graphic
ally the course of the expedition
and the search for evidences of pre
historic life in the Mongolian desert.
Captain John Noel, leader of the
Mt. Everest expedition which made
an effort to reach the top of the
world’s highest mountain and who
delivered a lecture last term on the
expedition, said of the pictures of
the Mongolian expedition-:
“The pictures of Roy Chapman
Andrews are very fine. They are
a photographic story of that expedi
tion as the pictures taken on the
Mt. Everest trip, tell the story of
that expedition. It is a wonderful
set of pictures.”
Dinosaur Eggs Unearthed
Those who heard Captain- Noel’s
'lecture and saw the pictures he took
will be interested to hear that he
has spoken so highly of those to
be shown next Monday night.
Results of the Mongolian expedi
tion have brought forth two out
standing discoveries during the past
few years. Dinosaur eggs were un
earthed and remains of a primitive
human culture of the late Paleolithic,
or Old Stone Age, were found.
Thousands of flint-flakes, old fire
places, arrow points and spear heads
were discovered, all of beautiful
agate and jasper.
There were forty-one men in the
party, fourteen Americans and the
rest Mongol and Chinese assistants.
The caravan is the most picturesque
iu the history of the expedition.
There are seven modern motor ears,
in decided contrast to the one hun
dred and forty-three eamels, and
the fourteen tents.
It is the story of this interesting
exploration trip that Roy Chapman
Andrews will tell next Monday
night.
Cud Must be Chewed
Tomorrow Unaided
"/'■''RETCHEX says today (with
VJT apologies to the Seven
Seers): “Try and get an Emer
ald on Wednesday to masticate
with your shredded wheat bis
cuit, or your doughnuts and cof
fee. Just try.”
Xo, Gretelien doesn’t mean to
be impolite, and she’s not all
wrong, this time. George Wash
ington couldn’t tell a lie—neither
can Gretchen-—the Diji goat ate
all the copy for the Wednesday'
issue of the Oregon Daily Emer
ald!
The little lamb wasn’t really
any more to blame, though, than
the little hatchet. It was all
George’s fault for becoming such
a great man as to be worthy of
causing a holiday, for holidays
produce no copy' and no copy
means no paper. And so we guess
the Diji goat didn’t over-eat
after all.
But, anyway, there ’ll be no
Wednesday news sheet, and
we’ve filled lots of space.

/ Deluge, Hard on Riggers’ Navy
The storm has abated, and among
the flood casualties are 400 chick
ens, three cows, dead, and thirteen
professors missing.
It sounds like a movie, but its
true. The professors rvent up the
McKenzie, Saturday, as far as
Thompson’s in order to view the
scenic grandeur, but when they were
ready to return they found that the
water was too deep for Fords, and
so the professors stayed.
They were not men without a coun
try, but of what good is a country
when one is separated froiy it by
about eight feet of water?
' Various classes, stricken by the re
port concerning the unfortunates, de
clared a holiday in order to mourn
properly.
Canoeing has been superseded by
walks along the mill race, where the
fatal flood rages. Certain hard heart
ed sheiks have reported that it is
very touching to take one’s girl to
the river and see the old parking
places so deserted and wind swept
The river and the mill race havi
merged into one great mass of water
and the scene would be complete i
only Lillian Gish were floating down
the swift flowing stream on a cak
of ice.
Roughly estimated, some fifteei
couples were forced to hit the tie
on their way home from the leagu
meeting in Springfield, since the bu
service had been discontinued.
Two weak hearted co-eds rented,:
room in the hotel and stayed al
night. According to the latest re

of night so they, too, can travers

Face Each Other For Last Time Tonight on Maple Court
Ray Graap, Bill Burr, and Jerry Gunther
This trio of basketball scintillants, two from O. A. C. and one from Oregon, will perform tonight in
McArthur Court. Graap is the Aggie captain and guarding star. Burr is the boy who has been accounting
for most of the Orange points from a corner position, and the villiaji of the Jost-Burr feud of 1926 which
is being continued by Gordon Ridings this year. Jerry Gunther needs little introduction, except to say
that he is almost in a class by himself as a guard this year. He plays a great all-round game.
Two Professors Give
Their Ideas of George
Washington, the Man
Opinions vary much as to the
character of George Washington and
since the advent of Rupert Hugos’
book on the life of Washington in
192(1, there has been more expres
sion than ordinarily. Two professors
have added their ideas.
“Most historians react to Wash
ington as a really great man,” said
R. C. Clark, head of the history de
partment. “As one gets farther
away nothing really detracts from
his character.
“The revolution was a success
largely because he was able to hold
the army together in a time of trial
and difficulty, and because England
got tired of fighting and gave up.
“ Two biographies, one *by Wood
ward, author of ‘Bunk,’ the other
bv Rupert Hughes, seem to me to
be on the whole excellent interpre
tations of Washington’s career and
influence,” continued Dr. Clark.
“They make him more human, but
more interesting because he is more
! human.”
When he is writing in the slight
ly off-color way, an author has to
write like a gentleman, and Rupert
j Hughes falls just a little short of it
! in his life of Washington, in the
| opinion of Professor S. Stephenson
: Smith of the English department.
“Washington is made out to be
{ far more of the eighteenth century
j gentleman than we have thought.
The interest syems to be more in
the private life than in the public,”
he said, adding that Hughes’ work
J tells more about Hughes than it does
1 about Washington.
“These new lives are throwing
; new light on his life,” he said, men
tioning McMaster’s work, which de
scribes him as an estate manager,
and the richest man in the colonies.

Infirmary Bill
Not Abandoned
Says A. B. Hall
Will Attempt to Get Funds
From Private Sources
For Hospital
Arnold Bennett Hall, president of
the University, has issued a state
ment regarding his action in with
drawing the infirmary appropria
tion bill after it had been passed by
the Ways and Means committe of
both houses. • He says:
"In view of the pressing needs
for adequate infirmary facilities at
the University of Oregon, T have
been repeatedly pressed for an ex
planation of my action in consent
ing to the withdrawal of the in
firmary appropriation after it had
been approved by the Joint Ways
and Means committee of both
houses. I desire to make it clear
that it is in no way due to any
change of mind on my part as to
the necessity of such equipment.'’
"I do not agree with those who
! apparently take the position that
I the University owes no obligation
j to provide adequate afcilities for
; the care of the sick and the prcven
i tion of illness among the students
of the University. When the par
I cuts of the state send their sons
and daughters to the University of
Oregon where they are gathered to
gether in crowded fraternity houses,
boarding houses and dormitories, I
! feel that they have a right to ex
■ pent that the University will show
deep and genuine concern for their
physical health and well-being. This
| is the policy of the administration
| and will continue to be. I shall
make every possible effort to get
the money from private sources and
if I have not succeeded the request
will’be renewed at the next session
j of the legislature. I will not rest
; content until the fathers and mo
thers of Oregon can ibe assured that
every reasonable precaution has
■ been taken to safeguard the health
: of their children.

of the bill out of consideration foi
the financial situation of the state
and out of deference to the' able

‘Torch Bearers,’ Three
Act Comedy, Nears
Finished Production
The advanced Drama company is
working hard toward the coming
staging of “The Torch Bearers," by
George Kelly, a comedy in threo
acts. One of the most popular of
recent comedies, it is an extraor
dinary clever satire on “Dramatice”
written by a man who knows and
loves his subject. Tho second act,
wherein a play is acted within a
play, is a clever bit of work. “It
is impossible to see how anyone who
likes clean, hearty amusement, could
help but be infected with the fun
of this delightful comedy,” accord
ing to a JSfew York review.
Small changes have been made in
the previously announced cast,, es
pecially among the male characters,

selected and the play nears the fin

Organ Dedication Held
By John Stark Evan,
Th.' recital given by John Star
i Evans last Saturday in Portland a

new organ, was an episode in th
musical circles of Portland whic
created a great deal of interest.
The concert, which was compose
largely of requested numbers, wa
divided into three groups. The fir>
consisted of two selections from th
compositions of Bach and Dvorak

outcome of the
conference scram

are stuck so deep
in the mire that

the Golden Bears
of California in a

Bill Reinhart
J. UCU1Cliuiuy , vicguu
tonight by a handsome score, and
leave history to he digested many
years hence with an “Oh, boy, what
a team Oregon had in 1927!” Also
theoretically, the sharp Oregon pass
ing attack, the Webfoot speed, and
the individual excellence and ex
perience of the players should en
able the lemon-yellow colors to go
dancing on, down the bright high
way to fame.
Keinhart Gloomy
The writer called on Coach Billy
Reinhart yesterday for a little
afternoon chat, and found the am
iable Oregon skipper in anything
but an optimistic frame of mind, or
anything approaching enthusiasm
over the possible outcome of this
week's play with O. A. C. and
Washington. Billy doesn't think
Oregon will win handsomely. Quite
the contrary, he thinks the Aggies
will put up a great scrap and pos
sibly down the Webfoots, and he
concedes the Huskies a great chance
to win Saturday night’s tussle.
“Tlio Oregon players are basket
crazy,” said Reinhart. “Even in
practice, there is rivalry as to who
1 shall score the most points. I gave
the second team the O. A. C. plays
1 and they made the Webfoots look
like dubs. Even the substitutes are
out after all-coast. Whew!”
Basketball Dope Whoozy
Therefore, it would seem that
■ some one dares to diverge from the
regular campus opinion, anil take
the bull by the horns.
Basketball i.s a funny sport.
<■ Games are not won on the Door, but
three or four days before in the
i. minds of the players, say some au
thorities. There is not much dif
ference between a good team and a
' j bad one—-just a matter of being
“on” or “off.” Washington State
- ; howled Idaho over the same week
i that the Vandals beat Oregon. Mon
tana buried O. A. C. under an aval

were rated fairly even in strength.
