Vatican to Build New
Museum to House
Treasures
n international News Service

ROME, May 22.-With the OBJ
ject Of centra1izing many OF the
priceless treasures now lying in
various corners Of the Vatican
buildings, a new museum is to
be built in the Vatican gardens.
The scheme was first nooted
during the reign Of Leo XIII. but
was abandoned owing to more
urgent works needing attention.
Pope Plus has now reconsidered
and approved the proposal
II is stated there is enough ne
elected material lying hidden
around the Vatican to fill not one
but many museums. Many objects
which were carelessly lain aside
in the Middle Ages. and have now
acquired great historical and
artistic interest, may still be
found untouched where they are
hidden.

LONDON, May 22.-Chang Tso-
Lin. the northern Chinese war lord,

anese government with proposal
IN which he intimated he would
withdraw his troops to Mukdenis the
capital or Manchuria, il the Jap
anese would hold back his national
ist foes iii the drive toward Picking

The Japanese government refused
to accept Chang's proposal. the dis
patch added. The japanese, 1t Is
reported, fear that disorganized
retreat OF the northern armies in
Manchuria might result in repett-
ton of the Tsinan incident.
Concentrate Troops
There are many Japanese in
Manchuria and Japan is determined
to see that none of its citizens are
endangered. 1t is reported that
all available japanese troops in
Manchuria are being concentrated
at Mukden.
If fighting between the national
lists and northerners spreads north
ward to Manchuria, Japanese troops
are ready to take strenuous
meaures to prevent footing. Troops
will be dispatched to strategic
points at the first outburst.
Drive May Fail
Meanwhile. according to reports
from Picking emenating from Chang
Tso-Lin's headquarters. there are
indications that the southern drive
upon Picking may be checked. Chang
announced that his troops had re-
captured Tingchow and had re-
pulsed a nationalist attack upon
Hokien.
Although the United States does
not wish to interfere in any way
with Chinese affairs, both Chinese
factions have been notified by John
Van A. MacMurray that American
troops will be held in readiness to
protect American citizens, il any

pected hostilities.

Back in 1908, while I was coach

have difficulty in not overrunning them
selves and in subsequent fouling in
their basket ball games. Their speed
is phenomenal. As a result their basket
shooting suffers.
In an effort to teach the theory OF
the game as well as the technique, I set
out to make it plain to the Indian boys
that II the referee penalized them for
holding. charging or running with the
ball, he was not doing 1t because he was
looking for trouble.

The Indians were laboving under the
complex that foul called on one of
their number signified they were play
ing a rough or an unfair game. To
Offset this. said to them at practice at
the start of the season:

an opponents arm rather than the ball.
you are not a dirty player. You have
just made a mistake
I wanted to free their minds from
the erroneous idea that they were being
legislated against when q foul was
called on them. To them a foul was
an odium. This complex was an iaher-
itance OF their race. 1t was my job to
Offset it.
Three months elapsed before I real
lied that this instruction had borne
fruit. We were playing Jake Maser's
Detroit Athletic Club in the Light
Guard Armory In Detroit. before an au-
dience estimated at 5000, a huge at
tendance for those days. D. A. c. had
beaten Yale In a series of games at

were after the scalps OF these conquer
ors of old Eli. From the first blast of
the referees whistle the game was a
thriller.
