CHINESE KNOW THEIR RIGHTS

Cantonese forces-thoSe from South China who in the name of q new and more independent repub- lie are sweeping everything before them are strong enough to demand the sovereignty Of their country be an actual fact rather than thoreti- cal possibility. Heretofore the Chinese have grovelled before the foreigners, and such demands that were made invariably came from across the seven seas. Foreign courts and tariff control by the foreign nations have been among the chief results of foreign influence in China. Of these the Cantonese wish a discontinuance and are in a position to make demands as well as express devout hopes. The show down has arrived; something will have to give" to use the colloquial-
 
 ism everyone understands. At this writing it does not appear as if Gen. eral Chang and his numerous CO., horts are likely to offer any slack in the tug of war.
 Many stories, some told by indi- viduals, are coming out of China. One disgruntled foreigner-Ameri- can or British or Japanese. if you please-says this and another says that; rarely have they anything crcditable to report. Charges range from mobocracy to sovietism; they obtain public attention and some- times are believed by the unwary. The Chinese nationalists, however, are saying little for publication; the best utterance emanating from them so far was the recent manifesto. h. stead of talking for world consump- ton the Cantonese occupy their time in gaining more complete control over the country day by day. Condi- tions will never be the same after they have gained their complete ob- jcctive. Instead of a subservient, obscquious China. it will be one which has been raised a few notches higher, one able to maintain itself in the face Of foreign exploitation, one able to attend to it's own affairs.
 Educated leaders have been a factor Most of the men prominent in the nationalist movement have been educated in occidental coun- tries: American universities have done their part in raising this stand ard. For decades we have had high class Chinese sprinkled in the stu dent bodies of our colleges. It is evi- dent they learned more than gaining a knowledge of college athletics. When they returned 10 China they were dissatisfied with what they saw; comparisons were odious: they set about 10 help change the picture. They are doing it.
 The western nations are confront ed with a situation where discretion Is the best part of valor. Most of them are steeped in debt as a re- suit of the World War and have no funds 10 apply upon campaign Of "subjugating" China, as in the old days. The Cantonese know when to play their aces. The game is all but won.

.DOUC CLAS HIGH
TRACK TEAM IS
READY FOR MEET

The Douglas high tracksters VIII
take several hard workouts this week
to give Tucson some real competi-
tion in the southern Arizona track
and field meet which is scheduled
tc be held at Patagonia, Saturday,
April so. The schools southern Ar!-
aona comprising this district VIII be
Bisbee, Benson, WILCOX, Tucson-~No-
gales, Tombstone, st. David, Pearce
and Douglas.
The stiffest competition will be
from Tucson and taking into con-
sideraton the records made by the
athletes of these two schools it viii
he a neck-and neck dual meet.
Coach Warren feels that his track
team is capable of taking the Ions
cnd of the score by a margin of one
or two points and the meet is like
ly to hang in the balance until the
relay event decides the issue.
Predictions show that Causey viii
win the 100 yard, 22O yard runs, the
pole vault and place second in the
broad jump and third in the high
jump. Hohstadt should take secono
in the 440 and third in the 22O yard
runs and is given an even chance
of placing third in the broad jump.
Cummins should win the hlgh
hurdles and McKnnon and MaloneY
should place two and three in the
low sticks. Wright who suffered
under the intense heat the capital
city in the long runs should have
no trouble winning both the $50 ano
the mile. English of Tucson Will
be the hardest competitor. HoucK
should place in one of these events
In the discus Cummins should get a
second place and a third IN the
;avelin and shot put.
Powers, high jumper, failed 10
rlace in the Greenway meet but is
now determined to win this event
against the best conference jumpers
next Saturday. Powers, if right, Is
hard to beat and should be ae mis-
hest at the state meet two weeks
away. This is his his first year In
competition and he is inclined to be
bit nervous.
Much is expected of Hohstadt next
Saturday and with Causey entered III

ers predict another state record VIII

and possible first in tho discGA
and a third in the high jump. He
is an all around athlete and may
place in other events. Humphries.
a weight man, is said to be good.
Nogales, Benson, St. David and WILL
cox may add few odd points. The
Douglas team rates best in the track
events and Tucson holds an ada
vantage in the weight events and
Jumps, so the total number of points
will be close as the events are split
even.
Coach Warren will probably take
full team to Patagonia Saturday
including Cusey, Wright, Hohstadt,
Cummins, Maloney, Powers, McKin-
ron Clark Houck, Burton, Seeleys
Sanders, Thompson and Gomez.
The meet is scheduled to begin
shortly after o'clock and will be
concluded at o'clock. Cars will
leave the high school gymnasium
between and 8 o'clock Saturday
morning. A large number of local
cars will make the trip as it will be
| the only chance to see the local
| tracksters in action until University
week The trip to Patagonia is
about 100 miles and all cars will re-
turn after the meet

DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
RETURN FROM CREENWAY DAY
FIELD MEET WITH HONORS

The Douglas high track and field
team returned late Sunday from Phoe-
nix accompanied by Coach II. B. War
rem, Principal j. e. Carlson, Jr.. and
G. W. Pratt. The seven boys who
made the trip garnered 20 points in
the meet against the best state high
school teams. Phoenix had a team of
40 boys competing and Tucson sent a
full quota of 20 Or more. Glendale,
Peoria, Prescott, Ajo, Chandler, Gill
bert, Bisbee, Tempe, Mesa and Douglas
were the high schools to send boys to
compete in the second annual Green
way day.
Four high school records were
broken at the meet, the first to fall
being the pole vault event in which
Joe Causey, Douglas high vaulter
cleared the bar at IL feet 215 inches,
the former record being 10 feet 10
inches held by Causey, who established
the first record last year. Causey also
won the 1OO-yard dash against a field
of IL dash men. Hohstadt, dash man,
failed to get off with the gun at the
start and failed to place. Hohstadt was
given a chance for third place in this
event on his record established at the
Tempe college meet two weeks before
Cummins looked good in the high
sticks and gave the highly touted
Deity, state championship holder in
the hurdles, the closest race of the day
Both hurdlers reached the final hurdle
at the same time, but the Phoenician
is better sprinter and won out. In
the low hurdles Deity established a
new record of 26 seconds flat. McKin-
non and Maloney, local hurdlers, did
well but failed to place in the finals.
Wright, middle distance runner took
fourth in the mile run after leading
the field for most of the distance. The
winner made record of minutes 81
seconds in this event. This was con-
sidered unusually good as the heat was
intense all day.
Hohstadt took third in the 440 and
fourth in the 220-yard runs in record
time The 44O was run in So seconds
flat, tieing the state record made sew
eral years ago by Bechtold, of Tucson.
Brimhall, of Mesa high, set new
mark in the shot put with heave of
A feet 10 inches, breaking the state
record. An unusual feature of the
broad jump event was that all four
finalists in this event tied for first
place with a jump of 20 feet IL inches.

number of points made by each
