world to argue among themselves oVel
the Italo- Ethiopian dispute, Japan this
week proceeded to carry out her plans
of carving a new empire in northern
China.
Following the national Chinese gov
ernment's move last week Of haltlng
the formation of an autonomous state
in the five northern provinces, Japan
made good her threat to send troops
into the area, and latest reports were
that a number of cities had been
seized by the Japs, with Pelplng be-
ing under martial law.
Soaring across the Pacific ocean,
the China Clipper, huge flying boat,
was near it's destination at Manila to-
day, having left San Francisco Sat
urday. The trip, while not it's first, was
the start of regular transoceanic
schedule between California and the
Philippines.
The first stop of the flight was at
Honolulu, 241O miles from San Fran
cisco. Another 1880 mile hop took it
to Midway Island, then to Wake Island
and Guam where it rested today
Thus began a new chapter in the
history of transpacific transportation.
Less than forty years from the time
that steam began to replace sailing
ships on the Pacific, the world has seen
a new type of ship replace the plodding
ocean tramps.
In no other sport does the "jinx"
rule apply as in football.
Some teams can play unbeatable
football against every opponent but
one, and year after year this rule will
hold good. WS.C. is uses jinx, for
instance, while use. is Oregon's jinx
and Oregon is Washington's jinx.
This rule proved true last Saturday
as a weaker Oregon team marched
down the field to a touchdown against
washington In the first quarter: In
the drive it's formidable fullback was
injured, and Washington came back
to score few minutes later. But
Oregon's try-for-point was good and
Washington's was not, so Oregon still
led, 7-6. From then on the game was
a wild exhibition of passing, running
and penalties, with Washington hav-
ing all the best of it except when
touchdowns were near, and Oregon
went home knowing that their old
jinx against Washington still held
good.
In other games of the weekend,
,Notre Dame lived up. to it's earlier rep
utation of being last-minute team
to trim U.S.C., 2O-13, while Stanford
defeated California, 1870.
It was this last game which fans OF
the nation were watching, for on its
outcome depended the choice OF
Rose Bowl contestant. Stanford's splen-
did showing overshadowed California;
earlier claims to greatness and wor
for them the coveted honor of defend
ing the west coast on New Years Day
in the football classic of the nation.
1t is the third year in succession
that they have won the honor.
The Graf Zepplin, famous German
air-ship, set an involuntary non-stol
record this week when it flew from
Africa to South America on it's reg
ular scheduled trip, only to find rebe
soldiers in command of Brazilian air
ports.
Dropping it's cargo of mail, the shil
started back for Africa, picking up sup
plies from ship at sea. 1t was ordered
however, to cruise along the Atlantic
coast of South America, and finally
after many hours of such loafing, cam
down at Pernambuco.
"Child of Jesus" former Empero

throne of puppet Ethiopian kingdor

Flying to Antartica on his last "gres
