4 4 Peking’s Fall Expected LONDON, May 22—The fall of Peking to the Chinese nationalist army, -without fighting, appeared probable today, according to Chinese dispatches. They intimated that Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, northern war lord, had arranged to retreat into Manchuria without attempting defense of his capital. General Chiang Kai-Shek, chief of the southern forces, tonight was reported pushing past Tientsin for Peking while his ally, General Seng Yu-IIsiang, was within striking dis tance of Peking. The probable scene of any battle ^ has been pushed farther inland from Shantung owing to Japan’s strategic move of protection about Shantung and South Manchuria. Fighting Begins LONDON, May 22—A major bat tle for the possession of Peking is developing between Chinese forces numbering more than 400,000 men, according "to a Tokio dispatch to the Daily Mail quoting the Japanese war office. ■' Two hundred thousand northern troops have taken up the defense of Peking and are being attacked, by 220,000 nationalists, the dispatch said. Marshal Chang Tso-Lin has thrown out defense troops on a line from Nanlcou around Peking and General Chiang Kai-Shek’s forces have made contact with the north erners, according to the Japanese war office. The fighting was said to have ex tended along this line, probably be tween Chang Tso-Lin and General Seng Yu-IIsiang’s forces.

Ratty, superintendent of construction. The hot^-cariiers went out for higher wages.

There is no building trades organ ization in Eugene and the hod-car riers went out without special or ders. The carpenters, plumbers and rdher workmen remained on the job) however. No definite action toward settle ment has been made. The men have come back with the purpose of reach ing some agreement. A meeting of all Eugene con tractors was held at the labor tem ple last night, that a wage-scale for Eugene men might be worked out, that was agreeable to all. The non-union laborers are being let out by Ratty as rapidly as union 1 men are taking their places. Stanford Establishes New Study Program STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Alto, May- 22.—(P. I.

Larry Thielen Chooses Next Year’s Staff Bill Hammond Chosen Associate Manager Of Emerald Charles Reed To Direct Advertising Work Next Season Larry Thielen, recently appointed manager of next year's Emerald, has made the appointments of the Larry Thielen 1928 -1929. The four principal of fices have been appointed ns well as some of the advertising sales men for the com, ing year. Bill Hammond, a junior next year, has been named associate manager. He lias a record of two years on the staff, having spent nis freshman year as a salesman. He has been working recently as associate advertising manager. Previous to his work on the Emerald Hammond worked for four years on the Oregon City En terprise. During his work he has attained constructive ideas for tho benefit of the paper, according to Thielen. New Position The advertising manager for next year will entail more responsibility and work. Charles Reed has been appointed to fill this position, and will have charge of the local sales men under supervision of the man ager. Thielen stated that “Chuck” has shown more improvement than any other man on the staff, having been a salesman for two years and acting ns associate advertising man ager this spring. Ilis assistant will be Dick Horn, sophomore, who will have charge of the records of daily advertising for the paper. The position of foreign advertis ing manager will be filled by George Weber of Portland, who has had experience in correspondence, which is the main requisite for the posi tion. This is his first year on the staff. His successor for finance ad ministrator has not yet been named. Policies Changed “The most important change which we will introduce,” said Thielen, “is that tho main selling work will be put in the hands of the upper division of the staff, leaving the routine work for the less ex perienced and providing for a per iod of training in tho office for be ginners. We believe that this will give our advertisers more experi enced salesmen to deal with as well as bringing in a larger volume of advertising for the Emerald.” W. E. G. Thachcr’s advertising laboratory, under Thielen’s direc tion, will be closely coordinated with the w’ork of the sales staff— acting as a copy writing service for Epierald advertisers. The staff is also planning to organize a magazine section for the Emerald to take the place of the old Webfoot.

Wurz bach forces swept aside a police guard and crashed into the conven tion after they had been ordered locked out because they did not carry red buttons signifying their support of Creager and Hoover.

Wide Variety of Books Is Received at Library “Tisir’t What You Know But Are You Intelligent?” is the name of a valuable new book in general circu lation at the library. It is published by Harper Brothers and, according to the paper cover, will accurately gage the intelligence of the indi vidual. “Gods and half-gods, warrior women and the children of men, meet and mingle, explore the dark recesses of humanity and the uni verse in a book which is gay and wise and skeptical, at once idyllic and urbane,” is the note on the cover of a new rent novel, “In the Beginning,” by Norman Douglas. “Now what are you indeed, that when you pass “Night is but twelve dark hours that none can praise “And April is a month with thirty days “And the first green is only so much grass.” These lines have been taken from a new book of poetry by Louis Un termeyer, “Burning Bush,/’ and is on the rent shelf. It will be inter esting to those who see more of beauty in nature than the one of whom this poem speaks. Two other rent books are “Quiet Cities” by Joseph Hergesheimer and “The Man Who Saw Through Hea ven,” a book of short stories by Wilbur Daniel Steele. New books in general cirsulation are “Sir Isaac Newton,” a group of essays on his works; “Forty Years in My Bookshop,” by Walter T.

Evolution Shown By Amphibians All Phases of Swimming Demonstrated A row of yapping prehistoric* formed the prelude of the annual Amphibian show last night, ns the cavewomen marched out in fierco lookiug shins of oilcloth, and dem onstrated the first elementary dog paddle known to man. On went the evolution. Presently by accident, soriiebody fell into the water and suddenly found that ho could swim on his back; and the first life saving was done by first giving tho victim the pacifier in the form of a club on the head. “The Ladies’ Swimming School” with Beth Ager as the antiquo school marm was especially inefficient, as to technique, and particularly suc cessful as a farce. “Tho Bays of Beal Sport” featured tho typo of high stunts known to boys beforo their days of long pants. Accom panying them was tho usual sissy, Percy by name, whose mother never lets him go in. Tho stunts, including dives and crazy races, brought a good hand of applause from the audience, which filled tho regular gallery and crowd ed the temporary bleachers. In tho fancy diving, the three performers wore white grease paint and white suits, which effect, heightened by a spot-light, made tho effect weird indeed. Following this were formations by tho ontiro Am phibian club, except tho divers. The girls in this wore yellow grease paint and green, with tho same color suits, all of which wero furnished by tho Jantzen company of Port land. Tho final formations wero tho University of Oregon “O,” and tho hugo “A” emblematic of the Am phibian club. Extension Classes For Salem Arranged W. G.

C. $ [ - M , Reinhart Uses MacDonald, Sclioeni and Gannon On Mound \ _ \:m By RICHARD IT. SYRING Sports Editor A more copious quantity of words was forced into the ozono around Reinhart field yesterday afternoon the bats of either the University of Oregon1 players or the visiting Ore gon State Beavers. But the Aggies were a T> 1 o to couple hits With their, words, so they won yester day’s ball argu ment, 10 to 4. And what an ar Coach Ralph Coleman and his Or ange and Black nine invadjA Eu gene yesterday with each player adequately equipped with one of Funk and Wagnall’s new standard college dictionaries, hut Umpire Tyler Christianson was called 'a number of names that never would appear in such a document. Aggies Use Huddle System Every time Christianson would call something that didn’t' exactly agree with the Aggies, out would come the dictionaries. Pages were hur riedly scanned in a vain search for more horrible names. Like a pack of growling wolves, Coleman’s pro teges would rush from tho bench and completely surround the much liarrassed Mr. Christianson. The Ag gies used tho huddle system yester day afternoon, huddling around tho abused ball dictator. One of tho more important in stances of yesterday afternoon’s rumpus came at the beginning of the sixth inning when Mr. Arthur L. Schoeni, Oregon southpaw pitcher who had allowed tho Aggies seven hits and two runs up to this time, becamo warm and proceeded to re move his outer baseball shirt. The sight of Mr. Schoeni’s woolen sweat shirt immediately aroused more fury than a red one would have dono in front of a bull. Tho sweat shirt completely spoiled the aesthetic senses of the Beavers. They soon went into another huddle, clammer ing that the removal of such a shirt was against conference rules. Schoeni Replaces Shirt Now, the again attacked Mr. Christianson had nover heard of such a rule. In tho Texas league where he umpired lust year they had noth ing of this sort. But aided by Messrs. Eunk and Wngnall, tho Beavers found enough persuasive ad jectives to convince Christianson that Mr. Schoeni should replace his shirt, so tho warm and disgruntled southpaw lumbered to tho bench and replaced his recently cast-off piece of wearing apparel. Another causo of excitement oc curred in the eighth when catcher Howard Maple couldn’t understand why lie should bo called out on an in field fly. Forgetting his dictionary (Continued on page three) Two Oregon Men Lost Overnight On Y. M. C. A. Hike to Mary’s Peak Lost on a mountain slope over night is an experience Shailer A. Peterson, and Harold D. Elkins, both of Eugene, and sophomores at the University, had Saturday when they started out with the joint party of O. S. C. and Oregon Y. M. C. A. cabinet members, and became de tached from the main party. The two boys were at the rear end of the lino climbing Mary’s Peak, and when darkness fell be came separated from their com rades. Not knowing exactly where the main party was to camp, the lost bikers mad^ a camp of their own. They had plenty of food and blankets, and camped quito com fortably until Sunday afternoon when they joined the party again as it descended. Henry \V. Davis, director of Y. M. 0. A. work on the campus, said, “We were somewhat concerned when we first discovered that the boys were missing. However, in quiry proved that they had grub and blankets, and were not without experience. The day had been warm, and the night was not cold even on the peak, so we felt confident that they would be safe.” Ten Oregon men, and fifteen O. S. C. cabinet members made up tho party. They left Shepard hall on the O. S. C. campus at 2:30 Satur day, and reached the top of Mary’s Peak by 8 that evening. Crossing tho top -they dropped down and pitched camp about a quarter of a mile from the summit on the oppo site side. A sunrise service on tho peak be fore breakfast was a feature of tho day. Tho time between breakfast and dinner was devoted to a con ference between the two cabinets. Various phases of Y. M. C. A. work at tho two institutions was dis cussed. Bay Culver, Northwestern secre tary of Y. M. C. A., gave a closing address on Christian work in the university* Ho emphasized tho necessity of sincerity in the lives of those who represent Christian work. Tho Oregon men, including tho two wanderers, arrived home in Eu gene at G o’clock Sunday evening.
