VOLUME XXXIV
Los Angeles, Dec. 3- (UP)-Pittsburgh guardier Juggernaut, beaten and tied, but still boasting one of the most powerful offensive teams in the nation, tonight was selected to represent the rest of the country in a game against New York on New Year's Day. Washington's purple pack, champion of the Pacific coast conference, announced the selection of the Huskies foe tonight, passing up two unbeaten southern teams, Alabama and Louisiana State University. It will be Pittsburgh's fourth appearance in the Pasadena stadium.
"The first team to be selected as accepted the invitation," he added Eckmann and Roy Rosenthal, public director of the university, anounced the selection to 30 newsmen gathered at the Billmon hotel.
"We were gided by only one factor," graduate manager Ray Eckmann, said. "We believe we have chosen the strongest team in the country outside the West as Washington's opponents.
The Panthers, boasting crushing victories over three of the country's strongest teams, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Ohio State, lost to their crossover - lower, opponents - Duquesne, Pittsburgh, Fordham's, 8-0 in New York.
Pittsburgh has traveled west for the Bowl Rose classic three times in the last 8 years, but as yet to return home with a victory.

Well, the Sour Owl boys are going to have another beauty contest for sophomores. The contests are to parade in formal attire before Friar Herderdon's night. The management of the Owl thinks it has deviced such a method of judging that it will be impossible to predict the winner of the contest. The manager of the Owl will be the flow immediately before the beauties parade and these men will be the judges.
After reading the list of candidates, however, I believe that the winner will most certainly be either Isabelle Bash, Gamma Phi, or Glenda Speakman, of the Kappa house. It would be absurd to draw a judge who is not wise, so the judge would be most anxious to bring in the opposite decision in order to destroy the record of predictions of this paper along this line.
The two ladies mentioned above, as probable winners are both from Kansas City and are so popular among the makes of the campus that it would doubtless be hard to get a date with either one of them before the Fourth of July. Thus the winner would not be chosen and the decision will depend entirely upon which men are chosen as judges.
I can hardly wait to hear what Busby's union building checker-player will have to say regarding the situation, that he will be as ignorant as usual.
They were having some sort of a game over at the Alpha Chi house, the other night but our sparrow couldn't figure out what it was. It and it booked like the girls were up in sights for Halloween or something.
Jane Gives, past beauty content winner of the Theta lodge, was having quite a time the other night trying to figure out what to study for a Teaching Methods quiz the day following. She had to read some text the book to read and so having no other advice around she called the telephone information operator to inquire if the latter had ever taken the course. The answer she received was "What's it to you?" Jane thinks it is bad enough I worried with quizzes without to listen to impressions from per

Lights Go Out
But Three One-Act
Plays Go On
The Dramatic Club's "Experimental Laboratory" played in bad luck last night at the Little Theater in Green hall when all of the stage lights went out just before the first presentation.
Chant is Outstanding
The collective efforts of several electricians failed to restore illumination to the stage but with the old stage spirit ("The show must go on") the members of the cast played their parts. Several candies and soaked furnished, sufficient illumination for the audience to see he actors.
Chant is Outstanding.
Most outstanding presentation of the evening was the chant of "A Jupiter to the President." This reading relates the story of a mass lynching of 12 negroes in some southern town, and was colored by the beats of a drum off-stage, snatches of songs, crap shooting by words, shots, and other effective noises.
Approximately 15 persons took part in this production. The readers had practiced much for the 12 spokes rapily on one, shrieked at another.
The second of the one-act plays named "Independence Day By Almost Everyone" was a sort of a comedy comedy.
"She Wanted the Truth," a particularly light and mischievous satire was adapted from the French of Paul Hervieu.
Aruse Interest
This experimental idea is being started to arouse interest in dramatics. The plays were directed, acted, and staged entirely by the Dramatic club members. These one-act plays will be staged every six weeks to familiarize the members with every phase of play production.
About 80 persons attended the experimental program which was directed by Rola Nucur. The students were in the Dramatic club entertained the guests at tea
German-Japan Treaty Called 'Peace Menace'
Paris, Dec. 3—(UP)—Former Premier Albert Libertavard said tonight in an interview with the United Press, that the new German - Japanese treaty contains secret clauses which are a "menace to peace."
The former premier, one of the dozen statesmen usually consulted on questions of high policy said that the Nazi-Japanese pact, although nominally aimed at Communism, actually mimics the interests of the United States, Great Britain and France.
Wife of Student Is Object of Search
another brother Conover, a freshman at Kansas State college and writer of George Conover, c.37, disappeared from her rooming house in Manhattan Wednesday morning. Mrs. Conover left a note for her husband to mention the content to disappear. She also wrote her husband to the same effect. He received the letter yesterday morning and immediately left for Marathah. Her brother, Edwin Barber, has gone to Manhattan to aid in the search. Barber telephoned friends in Anchison of one of the notes his husband left him, saying that she was leaving for somewhere in Arkansas.
Her father, an engineer for the Lukers Mill in Atchison, issued the following statement last night asking her to take a photo of herself meditating with the family. It said: "Your mother is on the verge of a nervous collapse. No matter why you disappeared or where you are communicate with me in dizziness."
Radio reports late night last night said a salesman had given a woman answering to Mrs. Conover's description a ride to Tionesta City青年大学.

Report Edward Ready To Vacate English Throne
There were indications that Edward had "walled" before motoring in from his Ft. Belvedere estate for tonight's conferences. Throughout the day members of Mrs. Simpson's household had said she was at Cumberland Terrace suffering from a backache that she said they saw her leaving there in a sedan shortly after the King's departure.
King Edward climaxed a night of argument with his family and advisers by ordering his private airplane to take Mrs. Simpson to France. It was understood that the King would bring the marrτσ to a showdown as he would confront fourth the world's area has the power to marry according to his own choosing.
Henderson To Lead Frosh Frolic Tonight With Best Brand of 'Swing
BULLETIN
The two brothers talked in Ed ward's private room in Buckinghurst on the crisis facing the Windsor family, and the King then hurried to his mother's home at Marleborough house.
Meanwhile the parliamentary executive committee met and decided that the labor opposition would not form a government if Baldwin resigned because of his fight with the King. In theory Edward may call on anyone to form a government, but in practice it would be virtually impossible to do so if the large political party refused to co-operate.
Whether in this trying conference in which love was pitted against the traditions of a nation, they decided to be married or to forge each other, no one yet knows. One report was that Edward would abdicate and that Mrs. Simpson would go to France, he said. The president would build a new life in Argentina.
The Freshman Frolic holds the center of the University stage tonight, and it promises to be one of the biggest events of the year. The Freshman Frolic normally is a big time in the lives of campus dancers, and this year there's Fletcher Henderson.
London, Dec. 3, —(UP)—King Edward tonight had a heart-to-heart talk with his mother, Queen Mary, and his brother and heir to the throne, the Duke of York, and reports spread the Duke of York, that he had decided to abdicate.
Politicians said that the delay in indicated that Baldwin requires time to communicate with the governments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South America, preparatory to obtaining the consent of the dominion parliaments to the King's abdication.
Persons clear to the cabinet and that Baldwin's breathlessly-awarded statement to the House of Commons on the constitutional crisis would be
Conflicting Reports
Tomorrow the ruling voice of England—the middle classes, who have decided the course of empire history so often—will be heard, and that voice may decide Kate Kinsella's斗争 his discourse to marry Mrs. Simpson.
If Edward leaves his throne under the Westminster Act of 1933, he must have the consent of both Lords and Commons.
Composer of the catchy and durable "Christopher Columbus," Henderson is an outstanding exponent of the latest modern music known as "swing." He brings an accomplished troupe of artists which feature his own and other arrangements of the latest in popular dance tunes. His organization is one of the best in the country, even to graze campus dance floors.
Executives Meet
The dance will continue from 9 until 7. Admission at the door is $2.25. Men will "swing it" in semi-
The middle-class opinion will make itself felt in several ways. Letters will be written to newspapers and members of parliament, petitions may be sent to the King. Whatever the stand of the middle classes turns out to be, opinions will be mobilized and will be heard.
The Sour Owl Sophomore beauty queen will be chosen at the Frolic by five men selected at random from the crowd. The 15 candidates will be presented from the orchestra pit and after the judges have made their decision, the five leading candidates will be introduced.

Student Remains Critically Ill
Robert Newland, c.37, is critically ill in Watkins Memorial hospital with encephalitis. This disease has struck only twice before here over a period of nine years, priving fatal in one case.
Newland became ill Saturday but was not brought to the hospital until Monday.
Newland is known on the campus as "Bert."
His associates are advised to take every precaution and to come to the hospital for examination.
There are three distinct types of encephalitis according to physicians at the hospital; the "sleeping sickness," the non-epidemic, and the epidemic type. The "sleeping sickness" type is confined to Africa and the epidemic type is very rare. Usually encephalitis claims victims in vastly scattered areas where there can be contacts. This "epidemic-type" may follow after sinus infections, measles, influenza, or colds.
The two recent cases here are entirely unrelated, as Newland was out of town on an engineering field trip when Miss Spencer became ill.
Labor Leaders Hope For an 'Armed Truce'
Washington, Dec. 3—(UP)—Labor leaders will observe an "armed truce" during the coming session of Congress and again present a petition for installation for the nation's workers; it was indicated tonight.

Collard Chief Scorer
guard, was foiled by Gilbert and made the free throw for the first score of the 1936 season. Both teams worked the ball carefully, with Kansas doing the scoring for the first six minutes. Kansas lead at this point, 8-0.
Shortly after, Roskum made Washburn's first score by converting a tree on a foul by Noble. Washburn gained new life and Gilbert scored a field goal to bring the Kissels' score to 3, but Koma still led.
brought the score to 8-7, Kansas tip-off at center and goal by Holo-ler. Golay ran the count to 15, as Kansas led 13-5 on the half.
Goals by Collard, who was the chief scorer for the Washburn team.
During the halt Bill Kiley, former Missouri Valley tennis cham-
ion, and Jim Kell. PAUL ROOERS
ennis letterman, entertained the fans
with a tennis exhibition.
At the start of the second half Kansas had the same team that left the court at the half, Noble, Golay, Praille, Corliss and Hollihawk. Washburn's lineup remained intact. After gaining the tip Wahtuburn worked the ball around and scored point for point with the Jayhawks. Midway during the Ichabods drew within one point of the Jays who led 25-24. Then they then pulled away with by Corliss and Hollihawk a free throw by Brule which brought the Kansas total to 20 Just before the final gun sounded. Schulte scored on a setup to bring the final score 30-26.
Ragged Game
Kansas led throughout the game and dominated the play. The game was ragged which usually characterizes the early season play. Most of the shots at the basket were hurried and many easy shots were missed by both teams that will be made later.
For Kansas, Golay and Cordi, who played their first college game, gave notice to the team that they will be heard from during the season.
Nole played his usual steady, dependable game at forward until he was removed late in the game via the personal foul route. Holliday played a good floor game and with his share of the scoring along with being the field general or the key man on starting the set plays.
The back-o-light, a new device that lights every time the ball goes through the hoop, was introduced to the fans. The main purpose of the back-o-light is to give the spectator who is sitting behind the backboard, chance to see where the ball goes through the basket or not. The light shines for a few seconds and this adds the scorers to keep an accurate check on the score.
