Kai-Shek Part*r May Receive ; Foreign Appro ^ Diplomatic RelationsI t Point To Chang ^ Says W. P. Maddo By WILIAM P. MADDOX Certain little news items, not gen ♦ orally of a spectacular nature, trick ling out of China nowadays lead one to believe that a movement of vast diplomatic importance may be on foot to give recognition to the Nan king government of the Nationalist party with its youthful generalis simo, Chiang Kai-Shek. Of course i tis always hazardous to engage in predictions about China, but it need not be amiss to draw attention to some few facts which at least seem to possess significance. » » * At present the foreign powers recognize as the official government of China, those who hold authority in Peking, c^hief among whom is CJiang Tso-Lin, Manchurian fnlli tary dictator. He drove out ilie previous occupants of the capital city three years ago and actually his control is certain in less than half of China, and nebulous in a few other districts. In fact, China, a sovereign united republic in name, is nono of these things. She is not sovereign because of a vast net work of foreign control affecting her political and economic life. There has been no central government maintaining authority everywhere for well over a decade. And lastly, the short-lived republic has never in fact been revived since President Yuan Shih-kai was seized with his imperial hallucinatiosn about the same length of time ago. Heretofore this has not been done. Foreign 'governments %av(e generally seemed to demand that sta bility of government be established by one central government, and not by two governments occupying dif ferent spheres, They have waited for this now for several years and it has not come. Meanwhile the Nanking authorities go about their work of administration in the south and the diplomatic or juristic fiction which ignores it probably is doing no one more harm than the for eigner. So when one reads that the French, British, and Japanese min isters have all recently made visits from Peking to Nanking, one might reasonably expect that something is afoot. And now also comes word that John Van Antwerp MacMurray, the American minister, has also taken leave from Peking and is now making extensive visits in the southern region. In addition, the British chief of the foreign cus toms administration, which has pre viously collected, its duties solely for the northern government, when it could, has been discussing with representatives from Nanking the possibility of payment of certain portions of the revenues to that government. These are only several among many incidents recently which give one reason to believe that the powers are planning greater extension of recognition to Nan king. In her opposition to foreign dom ination all China seems one. In her culture and tradition China is one. But in her instruments of govern ment, facts present at least two fairly stable governments, and it is some-times wise to. face facts. McDonald To Receive Oregon-Husky Scores Announcement is made by 'the McDonald theatre that complete re ports, by period, of the score of the Oregon-Wasliington coast confer ence basketball game will be given at the theatre Saturday night. By defeating the fast shooting Montana quintet Thursday night, Oregon has fought its way from a little-better-than-fifth-ehance team at the opening of the season, to a [ muchly respected five that stands l on the second round of the cham pionship ladder, and has invaded the domain of the Huskies, the only hoop threaders to stand above the fighting Webfooters, for the final game of the season, tonight. A direct wire connection, operated through Western Union, has been established and the score-by-period reports at the McDonald Will be flashed down within a few seebnds’ from the actual playing time. The game is slated to start in Seattle at S o’clock, and the first report should be given shortly after that time, it is announced. 1 Loyal Rooters Urged To Meet Webfooters When Shasta Arrives Sunday at 12:05 p. m. when the dhasta conics to a stop in Eugene, a , carv team of basketball player9 l 10 have worn tho green to heights I Ireamed of by even the world’s t optimistic sports writer, will b down the ear stairs and find 11, what will they find? They to find hundreds of loyal i eager to shout approval of record made by their new team, one which has fared far better in the uncertain seas of the Northwest conference than many a veteran out fit. They have been playing confer ence and non-conference games in rapid fire succession ever since they left Eugene and they have met with success in all of them. Tonight they battle the Huskies, and with the final gun the curtain is rung down on their gasketball schedule for 1927-28. Wiii or lose they are certain of second place, and win or* lose they should find YOU at the depot. Sunday to meet them! Oregon-Idaho Geology Given At Meeting Professor Livingston Talks To Sigma Xi Group Thursday The development of certain drain age and mountain systems of north eastern Oregon and western Idaho was presented as a formal lecture subject by Professor D. C. Living ston of the department of geology of the University of Idaho at a joint meeting of the University of Oregon and Oregon State College chapters of Sigma Xi, which was held in room 105, Deady hall, last Thursday evening. The findings of Professor Living ston are the result of a considerable amount of research which he has carried into the Blue and Wallowa mountains of Oregon, the Seven Devils and Cudahy mountains of Idaho and the Mile-deep canyon of the Snake river which separates the two mountain groups. The prob lem was considered in fonr phases. The age of the mountain uplifts in western Idaho, the control of the mountain uplifts by faults, the his tory of the Snake river and the pe culiar drainage pattern of certain streams in the area. By the use of lantern slides and diagrams, the speaker traced the rise of the Blue mountains from a low dome just south of Lewiston, Idaho, and westward into Oregon, where they swing in a broad cres cent back to the north and east, making their list stand in the rug ged Seven Devils of Idaho. Stand ing alone inside the curve of the crescent as an igneous and meta morphie complex, capped in part and surrounded by miocene lava flows is the Wallowa mountain group of Oregon. A veritable mosiac of faults has raised these mountains to their present level and has exposed on their summits rocks which appear in the Snake River canyon, is an an cient terrain buried by hundreds and even thousands of feet of basalt flows. The appearance of these lava flows on the Oregon mountains and their absence on the Seven Devils group indicates that the lat ter range was elevated several mil lions of years before the former. The present Grande Ronde river valley seems to have been cut by the Snake river which was forced from that channel by the faulting up of its stream bed. This forced it to swing to the east of the Wal lowa mountains where it has cut its present gorge. Many other streams were forced into a similar fate, and as a result, present a drainage pat tern that coincides roughly with the fault line system.

French Noble Will Address Campus Folk Late This Afternoon “Lo Baron d’Estournelles do Con stant” may sound like a far cry from an European novel of nobility, but that such a person is really a man will be proved at the Kappa Alpha Theta house this afternoon at 4 o’clock, when the French club will sponsor a tea in his honor. Le Baron arrives this morning from the University of Washington, where he has delivered a series of lectures under the management of the Alliance Francaise, forign lan guage group. Leaving Eugene to night, he will continue on his way to California, where he is instructor at Scripps College, a branch of Po monat At the tea this afternoon, where Andrie Pellion, romance languages instructor, will introduce him, Mon sieur de Constant will deliver a short talk, very informal and in French, before the assembled stu dents. The subject of his address was not mentioned in his.telegram to Miss Pellion, but it will probably deal with some phase of college life with which all students are fa miliar. “Le Baron’s father was a senator in France,” Miss Pellion comment ed, “and was much famed for his eloquence. His speeches would draw a crowd anywhere.” Any persons interested in French; students, faculty, or their friends, are invited to come and hear the Baron this afternoon. The tea will be over by 5:30, in time for guests to get home for dinner. Death Claims Brother Of Miss Julia Burgess News of the death of her aged brother was received yesterday by Miss Julia Burgess, professor of English, when she reached Chey enne, Wyoming, on her way to visit him. She will continue on her trip to New York to attend the funeral and is expected to be absent from the University faculty ui^til the beginning of spring term. Her brother, who is a retired pro fessor, was believed to < be on his death bed when Miss Burgess left for New York the first of the week.

Roosevelt Wins Back Use of His Legs by Bathing Paralysis Attack Which Crippled Him Is Conquered (By United Press) NEW! YORK, Feb. 24.—Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1921 stricken with infantile paralysis nnd pronounced a cripple for life, today walked, with the aid of two canes, into the of fice of the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland and resumed his full difties as vice-president. Back of this lies a story of a grim fight, perhaps of a discovery, and certainly of hope to scores who, usually far earlier in life, have beon similarly afflicted. In 1920 Roosevelt resigned as as sistant secretary of the navy to run for the vice presidency. His cam paign, which carried him over the country to the Pacific Coast, made him known to thousands. A year later, when he was aged 39, he was stricken suddenly with infantile paralysis—one of the in stances where the treacherous disease which is usually associated with childhood, attacked adults. His legs were crippled and he could not walk even with mechani cal aid. Despite his affliction he never gave up. About that time he heard the story of a young engineer who was afflicted as ho was. The engineer’s parents had taken him, merely for a rest and a vacation, to Warin Springs, Georgia. The man had a determination to regain the use of his legs again and, while at the springs, had gone into the water supported by a life preserver. Every year for three years he had gone to Warm Springs and bathed with his life preserver. By the third sum mer he could use his legs effectively in the water and on land could walk with canes. “I decided to make the experi ment, too," Roosevelt said. Few Men Competed In Intramural Meet At Igloo Last Night / - Insufficiency of competitors was the outstanding feature of the in door intramural track meet held in McArthur Court last night at 7:30 o’clock, ps only enough athletes arrived to allow competition in three of the seven scheduled events. No records wero either broken or dan gerously threatened. The results of the events held were: 45-yard dash, Schafer, Alpha Beta Chi, first; Bredthauer, Bach elordon, second; Wetzel, Phi Delt, third; time 6.2. 440-yard dash, Ross, Theta Chi, first; Hall, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, second; Overstreet, Sigma Chi, third; time .55. 880-yard dash, names, Sigma Chi, first; Steel, Friendly Hall, second; time, 2.6. The officials of last night’s meet were* Judges, Don Beelar, Fred West, Joe Standard; clerk, Schade; starter, Del Oberteuffer. It is essential that more interest be shown in the indoor track meets if they are to be ..continued, Coach Bill Haywood said last night. Next veek all those selected for compe-! tition must appear, and it is very desirable that the spectators be in creased from the mere handful who attended the meet last night. Faculty Man Gives Needed Cash to Team Private Loan Pierces Pall Of Gloom; 3 Square Meals Assured World Tour Debaters Able To Travel Again Thirty Forensic Meets in U- S. on File A soft, warm bed, and six-course dinners are now in reach of tho University of OVegon “Round tho World Debaters,” for money has beeif sent to them and they will now bo able to start meeting their guaranteed contracts with other American universities. A private loan of sufficient sizo was secured and the money was sent a few days ago but before the de baters sent the telegram telling of their serious plight. J. K. Horner, debate coach, was in. Portland yesterday, but it was ascertained from authoritative sources that a faculty member had loaned the necessary money to the stranded boys until they are able to. repay the loan from their guar anteed contracts. The amount of the loan was not given out and neither was the name of the profes sor who appreciated tho plight of Benoit McCroskcy, Jack Hempstead, and Avery Thompson and sent them tho money necessary to continue their tour. Funds Raised Privately The matter of the loan was not presented to the executive council of the Associated Studonts at all, and the facts of tho case havo nover been brought beforo that body, ac cording to Fred West, chairman of the finance committee. It would bo necessary for the matter to bo pre sented before tho council and for someone to apply for tho loan be foro it could be granted by that body, West stated. Now that the loan has been pro cured from a private source it will be unnecessary for tho council to take any action, it was stated. More than thirty debates will bo engaged in before the Oregon men return to the campus sometime in May. It is thought that sufficient money will be made as they tour the country for them to engage in all their contests and that further loans will not be needed. Clubs Decline To Help Lack of sufficient funds arose from the fact that money was to be raised on the guaranteed con tracts and bo in New York when tho debaters arrived there. Kugono service clubs had agreed to donate some money, but when Professor Horner recently met with them, the Rotary club was the only club will ing to loan tho necessary money. They wero willing to loan one-third of tho necessary amount if tho Lions and Kiwanis would mako up the rest of tho amount. The last two clubs were not agreeable to tho proposition, and a shortage resulted that temporarily embarrassed tho three debaters. But that’s all over for tho men now have the money. Mussolini Recalls His Minister to Austria; Raps Hostile Speeches (Itv United Pr~») ROME, Feb. 24.— Tho Giornalo D’Italia announced late today in an extra edition that Premier Musso lini had decided to recall Signor Auriti, Italian minister to Vienna, as a protest to anti-Italian mani festations in the Austrian parlia ment and against the speech of Chancellor Seipel, decrying Italian rule in south Tyrol. Commenting on the Seipel speech, the newspaper pointed out that the Austrian chancellor’s speech was an “unusual manifestation” in in ternational relations. Giornale D’Italia said the Italian people, so tranquil in the face of Austrian outbursts, cannot but ap prove of II Duce’s dignified answer. Dean Gilbert Speaks Before High 12 Club Dr. James II. Gilbert, dean of tho college, spoke before the High Twelve club at the Osburn hotel Friday noon, February 12. The subject of his speech was “Manage- ! ment of Public Debts,” with special i arophasis placed on the sinking fund ! ind the economic fallacy underlying its use in connection with national lebts. Walk-out Results at Mention of Quiz in Student Prof Class If you are ono of the persona who refer to professors ns being “hard-boiled,” just, listen to what three students of tho business ad ministration school did to their fel low sufferers if you want to decide if all tho hnrd-boiledness is on the professor’s sido of the desk. Thursday, Professor A. S. Kings mill, associate professor of business administration, assigned special re ports to three students in liis class in finance management and asked them to tako charge of tho class the next day. The class met ns usual on Friday, and tho students took up the first half hour with the three reports. Then much to tho surprise and hor ror of tho class, the three student instructors handed out papers for a quiz. As soon as tho class rea lized the situation, it walked out, leaving tho three instructors minus the job of correcting papers. The question remains whether the three students wished to bring the grades up or down, according to their own, or whether they were get ting revenge for doing all tho work for the day’s assignment. Baccalaureate Service Speaker For 1928 Named H. S. Johnson, Son of First Oregon President, Will Give Address Tho Reverend Herbert Spencer Johnson, son of the first president of the University of Oregon, is to bo the speaker at the Bacealaureato service of tho 1928 commencement exercises in June.

Ferris Hopes To Hear Oregon Song at Came “Take cheer yo Oregon basketeers, for I am on the way,” sang Walter L. Ferris, head of the University band, ns he cranked the little old Ford and started north last night to support the team in its mighty struggle tonight. “I am starting for Seattle to night,” said Mr. Ferris, when in terviewed, “and all I’m taking is tho old Ford and a couple of copies of Mighty Oregon. If the band up there will only oblige me by play ing it, I’m sure with the inspiration of the piece and what aid I can render, the boys ought to feel con siderably cheered.” Webfoots to Tangle With Husky Five Tilt To Be One of Best in Northwest Loop Tour This Season Organization Urged To Send Telegrams Rally Scheduled for Noon Tomorrow By RICHARD H. SYRING Sports Editor After winning fivo successive games on the road trip, the Uni versity of Oregon 'basketball team fnena tha TTnlvor. Gord Ridings laces tno Univer sity of Washing ton Huskies in Seattle tonight. The Washington game will mark the last regularly scheduled contest for both teams. Up to date tho Wobfoots have been defeated twice, while tho Huskies are en joying a clean slate. Tonight's tilt should be one of the best basketball games played in tho Northwest loop this season. The Oregon team, with second place se cured and nothing bettor to gain, enters the Washington game with everything to win and nothing to lose. Tho Huskies with nine suc cessive wins would liko nothing bet ter than to finish the season with an even 10 wins. It Will Be Mighty Hard Washington is going to have to show its best against the Webfoots. Tho game played in Eugene earlier in tho season which tho Huskies won, 2‘1 to 17, is no criterion of to night’s outcome. Tiie Oregon five was in a slump at that time which cost two conference games. Coach “Hec” Edmuudson’s five will be somewhat hampered tonight because of tho loss of Alfred James, stellar guard. This Husky, who, in addi tion to being a close checking guard and a high point scorer, is on the beneh with an injured knee. Ridings in Second Place Gordon Ridings was trailing in second place in individual scorers yesterday. Captain Bill Burr of the Aggioa was leading -with 101, while Gord’s total came to 99. Monty Snider was third with 82. The Ag gies played tho Washington Staters last night which added a few to Burr’s total. Tonight will find scrappy Qordou Ridings with a chance to win high point honors for the season. Send Telegrams to Team Oregon students and organizations nre urged to send the Oregon hoop (Continued on page three) Second Performance of 'Lady Windermere9 Shows New Points By ALICE GORMAN The Guild Hall production of “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” by Oscar Wilde, was at its beat Thurs day night, although Friday night showed greater color in Jack Wal dron as Cecil Graham, Marshall Hopkins as Lord Augustus, and Merle Benedict as Mr. Dumby. The third act disclosed decidedly tho best technique and polish, and the stag scene almost attained sophisti ’ated cleverness. Cecil Graham was quite tho inspiration of the scene with his line, “There’s nothing like :he devotion of a married woman— something no married man knows inything about"—which quite char icterized the atmosphere. Mr. Dumby succeeded admirably in not snowing what it was all about. Dear Augustus was even more gul ible and “deucedly pleased” with hings in general than on Thursday light. Perhaps the interval between now and the week of repertoire will give the cast a chance to refine its production. Longer and more con centrated rehearsal would have re moved most of tho weaknesses. A word should be snid about tho courteous and splendid manner in which the hosts handled tho guests. The idea was J, Alden Woodworth’s to have the hosts in formal dress—• and it has proved good in prepar ing the audience somowhat for the dramatic productions. Mr. Wood worth as business manager has done much in helping Miss Wilbur to make her plays financial as well as dramatic successes. Miss Wilbur did a daring thing in allowing a beginners’ class in drama to produce “Lady Winder mere’s Fan”—but her adventure was successful in disclosing to us Harriet Hawkins and Mary Duckett, and several men whom the Theater Guild Players are anticipating. Her courage in daring was rewarded. Art Anderson Heads New Rental Committee The McArthur Court rental com mittee recently appointed by Don ald Beelar, president of the Asso ciated Student Body, is headed by Arthur Anderson. Fred West, chairman of the fi nance committee, and Dean John Bovard are the other members. The duties of the committee will be to investigate applications and to rent the basketball pavilion to compan ies wishing it for display or dem onstration purposes.
