chiefly because of reports that
Wang had come to Hong Kong to
negotiate with the Japanese. All
advices from Chungking, capital o.
Chang Kai-Shek's regime, have
emphasized that the Japanese pro-
posals would be rejected, and that
the struggle against Japan would
be continued.
1t was generally believed, how
ever that the Japanese hoped TO
persuade Wang TO negotiate for "a
settlement which might be ac-
cepted by Chinese in the areas
conquered by Japan and that a So
called Chinese government similar
to that in Manchukuo would be set
up with support of Japanese troops.
The statement issued by Wang's
associates said that Wang had sent
a message to Chang reviewing
the three points On which Japan
proposed to negotiate.
The three points in the japanese
proposal were:
l. Establishment of friendly re-
lations between China and Japan.
2. Adherence by China to the
Japanese German Italian treaty

Death of Magellan
In the Philippines

TRAGEDY trailed Ferdinand
l. Magellan across the vast Pa
cific as he sailed from TERRA del
Fuego to the Philippines during
the early months OF 1911. The
explorers had no fresh provisions,
little water (and that bad1, and
putrid biscuit. Scurvy ravaged
the entire crew, and at last men
turned to eating OK hides and saw
dust, and even rats.
The torture lasted SO days
across the Pacific, which Magel-
Ian named on that trip, Until at
last the feet sighted the Ladrones
and landed at what is now be-
lieyed to be Guam. Here the out
fit rested, watered, obtained food.
A few days later, March Is, the
feet sighted the Philippines.
On April 2 the squadron ar
rived finally at Cebu, in the heart
of the Philippines, and here Ma
gellan found warm reception from

Undertaking to conquer the neigh
boring island of Mactan for the
Catholic faith and for the soyer.
eign, Magellan was killed by the
natives April q, 1921. Later the
King of Cebu murdered other
members of Magellan's party.
Burning one of the three re-
naming vessels, the survivors
escaped from the island to the
Moluccas. Only 81 men eventually
returned to Seville with the news
that Magellan had circumnavi-
gated the globe, had accomplished
what Columbus had set out to do
link west Europe with east
Asia by ocean route.

ippines, is shown here on 1850

Coach Morris Not Optim-
istic Over Today's Due
West Game

The Blue Ridge HiIltoppers
were off to Due West. S. c., to-
day to meet strong Ersklnc
freshman team on the gridiron
there. Coach Morris put his boys
through strenuous drill WedneS-
dav and tapercd off Yesterday af-
ternoon in preparation for the
froSh.
Reports from South Carolina
indicated one of the strongest
freshman teams in the history of
the college. 1t is reported that the
freshmen have defeated the vars
ity several times this year. Coach
Morris has reached the extreme in
pessimism. He freely predicted a
defeat for his boys by TWO or three
touchdownS. He stated that his
practice sessions this week have
been the worst since the begin
ming of the year He was not sat
isfied with the showing OF his Of
fensive machine in the Charlotte
game last week, and has stressed .
this in recent practices.
Morris praised his line after
last Fridays game, and heaped
praising comments on the shout
ders of Ralph Trabakino and
Frank Takim, guard and center
respectively. He stated that Ira
bakino was the hardest-hittlng
lineman ne has ever coached.
The team seemed confident OF
victory today, but certainly not
over-confident. Those VINO at
tended the game in Charlotte
were particularly impressed by
the fire, pep and spirit displayed
by the RidgianS. This game de-
termination turned almost the en-
tire crowd to the side of the Rid
gians before the game was over.
Much attention is being dis
played in the contest with Bre-
ward college on Saturday of next
week. This game will present
Hendersonville football enthusi-
asts with the first chance to wit
ness a game with a college var
sity in great number of years.
This will be the first Blue Ridge
home game. 1t will be played at
