The Japanese face almost insuperable difficul ties in trying to develop Manchou kuo as a mainland empire.” Thus Dr. Fletcher S. Brockman/ who has had 30 years of vivid ex perience in the Far East as an executive officer of the Y. M. C. A., summarized the practical dif ficulties of the Manchurian situ ation outside of ethical considera tions. He was speaking to the Thurs day morning session of Dean Al len’s senior students in editing, in the opening address of the last day of his visit on the Oregon campus. “I wish to appeal to you young people who will be newspaper peo ple of tomorrow to study and know the complex problems of the Orient No nation has the possi bilities for influencing the Farj Eastern nations that America has, but we cannot influence them by attitudes and actions that are rooted in ignorance. “One of the most widespread misconceptions which Americans have is that Russia is primarily interested in spreading commun ism throughout the Orient. That is a part of the Soviet Republic’s program, to be sure, but what comes first with them is building up an alliance of Russia, the Far East, the Malay nations and India to resist the capitalistic and im perialistic nations of the West.” “I have written Mr. Stimson that I think his policy deserves to rank with that of John Hay in the crisis of 1899,” Dr. Brockman j stated. "America has at least had the courage to tell Japan and the‘ rest of the world that she regards , the treaties made at the Wash ington conference of 1922 as sol emn covenants not to be lightly broken.” The No. 1 Defender of the Gates of Troy inis large person is cape.

Oregon is conceded an excellent cliancc to overcome the champions ox the coast. Grade Warnings Sent to Students With Low Ratings Slips Will Be Sent to All Parents, Deans and , Housemothers A portion of the mid-term no tices of low grades were sent out yesterday by the registrar's office, and are expected to be all mailed j by the end of the week. The warnings are sent to the j students doing failing work by mid-term, their parents, their ad visers and to the deans of men and women, who in turn notify house presidents, house mothers, scholarship committee, sponsors, automobile regulation committee and other agencies. Under new regulations, students who are flunking courses are not allowed to withdraw. In some cases where a student is obviously' overloaded, and wishes to drop a course in order to concentrate his efforts on the remainder of his schedule, he will be allowed to do so providing his grades in that course up to the time of withdraw al are passing. The dropping of courses to escape the minus point per hour imposed on the grade point total for flunks, has been ruled out. Students are to take their “red books” with them when they see their advisers. These may be borrowed from the registrar’s of fice, and used by the adviser and student in order to enable them to work out an improved plan of study. Upon receiving a notice from the offices immediate attention should be taken so that this mat- ! ter may be settled immediately. They Can Win C\NE THOUSAND miles from here, on alien soil Saturday, the Oregon football team faces its greatest test of the season. In such a situation, any messages or wires from home will be ap preciated. Contrary to general opinion, Oregon has an excellent chance to defeat Southern California. The Trojans can be beaten, Oregon has the men with which to do it, and there is every likeli hood that sunset over Olympic stadium will find the Webfoots on the long end of the score. With such a splendid opportunity to overcome the national champions, let us not be unstinted in our support of the team. There should be no dearth of well-wishing messages Saturday. It is our duty to see to it that there is not. Parsons and Briggs At National Conclave Dr. Philip A. Parsons, of the sociology department, and Wil liam H.

C.; Will Lead Parade Thirty-six hours without sleep, food, or rest, in which he was constantly exposed to heavy artil lery fire and enfilading machine guns while accomplishing the dan gerous task of establishing con tact between two units of the American army, earned for George Bullion, linotype operator at the University Press, the distinguished service cross, by direction of the president and by act of congress. The scene of this act of unusual valor was the front line trenches in front of the little town of Ciergcs, in France on October 2, 1918. Mr. Bullion, who was a pri vate in Company C, 125th infan: try, volunteered to establish liai son between two units which had become separated, and it was his courage while performing this ex tremely dangerous task that caused him to receive the medal.

Caliison Heads South With 28 Duck Gridmen Webfoots Want Revenge For 53-0 Beating AIR ATTACK FEARED Trojans Worried by Strength of 111" Green Squad; Team To Drill on Turf LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 10.— (Special) Given more than an equal chance for a victory, Uni versity of Oregon football players will arrive here tomorrow morn ing in time for a workout on the turf of Olympic stadium. Satur day afternoon they face the Uni versity of Southern California in the same field. The invading Oregonians have not forgotten the 53-to-0 trouncing handed them last year, according to word from the north, and have been pointing for this game all season. Coupled with the fact that they are said to have the strongest team to represent the Webfoot school in years, Coach Howard Jones and his assistants are doing considerable worrying. Gumc Holds Spotlight The Trojans get their only bad break of the season in the sched ule this week as they meet one of their toughest opponents after the hard California game. With the exception of U. C. L. A., which meets the badly battered St. Mary’s team, the Trojan-Oregon battle holds the spotlight as the most important football scrap of the week. With the Golden Bear hurdle successfully cleared, the Trojans went through a tough scrimmage this week in preparation for the contest. Coach Jones is no little worried about over - confidence among his players. Some of the experts even expect Oregon to win. Trojans Work on Defense While Mark Temple's tricky open field running and Mike Miku lak’s terrific line plunging are the features of the Oregon attack that have been giving the Webfooters’ opponents the most trouble, the Trojans are expecting some heavy raids through the air, and consid erable practice is being staged by Coach Howard Jones this week on aerial defense. Although there is nothing se riously wrong with a pass defense that can make twice as many touchdowns out of opponents’ pass es as the opposition can score, which was what happened in the Trojans’ convincing 27 to 7 defeat of California last Saturday, Coach Jones realizes that more experi ence against forward flings is needed by some of S. C.’s new backs, notably Fullback Bob Getz and Quarterback "Cotton” War burton. Getz, however, is proba bly out of the Oregon game with an injured back. * Defense Record Marred Little Warburton, the "Gallop ing Flea,” was covering his man in the most approved manner last Saturday when he slipped and fell on the goal line and allowed the only touchdown that has been made this year against the Tro jans, and although he later came (Continued on Page Pour) Mr. Brown AgoutiandRodent Friends Subject of Studies “The best, laid plans of mice and men ” So goes an old saying, but it has remained for Dr. R. R. Hues tis, professor of genetics at the University of Oregon, to observe mice, and through his observations glean information which may be of great value to the race of hu mans. Recently, however, Dr. Huestis has selected two races of mice that exist in Oregon, races which alight well correspond to the white race and the brown or yel low race. In Western Oregon Jwells the Peromyscus manicula tus rubidus, while in Eastern Ore gon lives the Peromyscus manicu latus gambeli. In physique the two are fairly similar, except that the Western varsiety has a longer tail, longer feet and is inclined to be a bit thinner. He also has a rich, dark color, while his cousin across the mountain is quite light. For some time Dr. Huestis has been observing his mice, genera tion after generation, and he has come to a number of conclusions. During his studies he also discov ered that a grandson of a pair, one from each of the two races, is a genuine brown agouti muta tion, which means that he is not light in color, not dark, nor gray as are his brothers and sisters, but a real brown, even to his ears! Mr. Brown Agouti, though he doesn't know it, is now one of the most famous mice in the country. Since the announcement of his birth numerous inquiries from scientists, museum officials and others have come in to the Uni versity, Dr. Huestis reports. The same sort of mutation is known in other forms of mammals, and may even be the basis for a theory of origin of human races, it is pointed out.
