VOLUME XXX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1928 NUMBER 42 Pop Warner Stars as an All-star Maker Godfrey Would Bo Able To Boost Oregon In Islands By JOE PIGNEY East is east and west is west and etc'., and So is California and tlie northwest. The most recent contri butions to the growing; breach be tween the north and south of the Pacific, coast, conference are Pop Warner’s all-coast, selection and the increasing difficulty to arrange the football schedules. The California teams consider their inter-sectional tilts before their conference games, and perhaps this is done rightfully since they are i most persistent, winners of coast football titles. The growing import ance of the sectional tilts estab lished a huge hurdle for the smaller || members of the conference to jump. Montana and Idaho, both weak drawing cards, are particularly af fected. Few of the members of the league want to schedule games with elevens which can neither hold their own in competition nor attract the public. The only solution is the dismissal of the Vandals and the Grizzlies from the football sched ule. This, however, will be fully considered at, the meeting of the conference officials at Los Angeles, December (i, 7 and 8. Pop Warner’s 1928 all-const foot ball team lias created mostly laugh ter in the north. The first team passed by with scarcely more than a titter, but the second, third, and honorable mention selections caused loud guffaws. The dean of football coaches undoubtedly closed his eyes when he made his choice. Oregon, the leading team of the northwest, did manage to rate the third team pretty well. The Web foots are thankful for that even though they do think they were slighted on the honorable mention list. George Christensen, husky ^ tackle who has stopped nearly everything hurled at the Webfoot line this season, saved the day by impressing Pop enough to get a mention. * * * One critical follower of Pacific, coast football has sent the following note lo the Emerald: ‘•While we are hearing all these effusions about Chuck Carroll, How ard Maple, and Biff Hoffman as all American aspirants, it might be well to wonder just where these gentle men were when their respective teams played Oregon. Warner him self had a good deal to say about what Hoffman couldn’t do against Oregon. The Corvallis game is still fresh enough in our minds to make it easy to recall Maple’s two-yard returns and his complete domination by Kit.7.miller. And Carroll never even got started in the Washington game—his fake pass play against the Oregon reserves in tlie last min utes of tlio game was the only time he displayed anything like all-state abilitv against Oregon—not to men tion all-Ameriean. 1 “Benny Lorn was the only back who could function against the 'Web foot team.” * * * Warner’s second team is really the prize of the collection. Either Warner failed to see all the teams in action or he got crossed on some of the names. The Beaver campus awoke to find a fellow by the name of Carlson of O. A. C. on the second team, and Vein Eilcrs not even mentioned for honors. It was a good joke for EiloTs has been tlie mainstay of the Aggioliue all year, while Carlson has never' been par ticularly noticeable. Another bird named Stombaugb, wlio bails from Washington, is on the second team while Kitzmiller, the leading scorer of the conference, is on the third team along with Schmidt of ( uli fornia. George Burnell, Oregon’s (Continued on Fage Tivo) Press Field Managers To Hold Conference Harris Ellsworth, field manager of the Oregon Editorial association, and an instructor in tHe school of journalism, has invited the field managers of the Washington and California press associations for a conference some time in February. Plans for the national meeting of field managers to be held August 111 in Seattle will be discussed. Fred Kennedy, the Washington field manager, will be the general director of the conference plans and will have Mr. Ellsworth and John Long, the California manager, co operating with him. Mr. Ellsworth expects to have replies to his invi tations soon. i Senior Class To Stage'Pigs’ Next Tuesday University Girls Given Late Permission, by Dean Of Women, To Attend Grace Gardner, Larry Shaw Will Play Leads Mask and Baskin Players Cooperate With Class Every evening, from now until next Tuesday rehearsals are the im portant tiling, says the cast of the senior class play, which will -present the stage play, “Pigs,” at . tlie IT e i1 i g theatre Tuesday night.

Play is Clever Comedy “Pigs” was staged in Portland last year by the Henry Duffy players. It lias been played by stock com panies, and went over with quite a success in New York. It is a comedy of American life, with a fast moving plot and clever charac terization. “Pigs” was written by co-authors, Anne Morrison and Pat terson McNutt. Lawrence Shaw gave a brief sketch of the play at the meeting last night—just enough to arouse in terest—he guarantees an evening ofl good entertainment when the senior class demons!artes how two eighteen year old youngsters invest in a bad bargain, a bunch of sick pigs, and cure them, incidentally swelling the family fortune.

Oregonians Eye China Politieal Change of Government Says Hall Now Stylo of Ruling lloiheil of Or ion t Has Yot To Provo Worth by Functioning Successfully People of Oregon and of the en tire Pacific coast should be particu lnrlv interested in the form of rule known os the “five-power regime” which hns just been set up in China by the Kuomintnng or “Nationalist” party, it is stated here by Dr. Arn old Bennett llall, president of the University of Oregon, who is watch ing developments on the other side of the Pacific.

Hall is a mem ber of the Institute of Pacific Re lations, aud in July, 11)27, met sev eral prominent Chinese at the ses sion of the institute held in Hono lulu, Hawaii, who have been active in the formation of the new gov ernment. "It is too early to predict success or failure for the Kuomintnng plan,” says Hr. Hall, "but people of this country should do everything in their power to encourage China to become stabilized. Our commerce with this nation of over 1100,000,000 is of vast importance, and our rela tio'ns may in times to 001110 deter inino very largely onr ]irns]ioritv.” A diagram of tlio now form of govornmont would show tho central executive r-oiti 111 it too of the party at tho top. This committee has 40 members, chosen from all 'parts of China. Directly under tho commit tee are two councils, one known as the political council and the other as state council. Both of those now have equal powers, but if is expect ed that in time the political council will be abolished, since it. acts in an advisory capacity, while actual gov ernment is left to the state council. Tho state council, which is headed bv General Chinng Kai-shek, is com posed of Id members. Under it are five “yuan” or councils, from which the plan gets its name. These are the legislative, executive, .judicial, examination and control councils. Their chairmen and vice-chairmen (Continued on l’nge Three) Jack W.
