Jehol Inhabitants Prepare Defense Against Japanese
Cheng Teh Ft Expects Air Raids; Road to North Filled With Supply Trains
Cheng Teh Fu, Johel, Feb. 25—(UP) —This city, the most beautiful in Al China, today has become the base for a stubborn military movement which the Chinese high staff confidently extolled. Waterloo for Japan imperialistic plans.
MISSIONS STAND FAST
The 30,000 citizens of the city are energetically dedicating themselves to two tasks, the defence of their temples and pagodas from air raids, and the defense of their palaces from pirates, gords, and munitions to the fightin' forces now in position to the north.
It was admitted by the high command today that the Japanese had occupied the cities of Weipiao and Chanyang from which the Chinese troops for strategic purposes, have withdrawn in order to take up position. The Chinese prepared a fense scheme centering at Pingfangtian, west of Chayang.
The expected air raids on Cheng Tzu Fu are awaited with the utmost "song froid." At the first signal the French army had ordered to retreat from Father Oscar Conard's Belgian Catholic mission. The British flag already flies over the Protestant mission where, with his wife and small child, two American Zealander refuences to abandon his past.
Rumors that the Jayhawker, because of financial losses last year, might not be published this year, have been brought to the attention of the Jayhawker Advisory board.

In the judgment of the Advisory Board, it was decided that the publication of the 1932 Jayhawker as planned last spring. It will be a worthy successor of the outstanding books of former years.
The long and rough road into Cheng Tch Fu is clogged with warriors. In one group were at least a thousand camels swaying under the burden of tons and tons of ammunition. Ox carts, creeping wagons, and hardy little Mongol ponies jammed the highway in this procession.
There was another grim note in this business of preparing to meet the onslaught of Japan's efficiently trained regiment. Along the road were heavy lorries flying the symbol of the Swastika the signal flag of China's red cross.

Simpson Will Present Organ Vespers Today
Program to Be Comprised Entirely of Works by Bach
Guy Criss Simpson, of the School of Fine Arts faculty, will offer a program comprised entirely of works by J. S. Barratt, a professor at the University auditorium at 4 o'clock.
The feature of the offering will be a collection of pieces which depict the passing of the holidays and holy days. These pieces were taken many old religious songs and carols and treated them in such a manner as to make them classical numbers. Some of them have the original melody of the piece, held a harmony to go with the songs.
The program will begin with "Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor," which is said to have been written with a harmonic scheme at least a century and a half in advance of Bach's era. This number will be followed by a collection known as "The Christian Year as Treated by Bach."
Bach starts the year with the Advent "Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen," followed by the Christmas, "In Dulie Brau," a piece founded upon a famous medieval carol. Next is the New Year's Eve, "Das Alte Jahr Vergangen," only a page in length but portraying a spirit directly oppose our modern feeling on that day. The music is permeated by the chromatic nature of the preceding contrast with the preceding number, the New Year's Day, "In Dir Ist Frueade" of unrestrained joy and enthusiasm, is shown.
"O Mensch, Between Wein Dun Seinder Gross," representing Good Friday, is based upon one of the chief Passionite canons of the Church. It is portrayed in "Christ Lag in Todesbanden" which was written from one of Luther's fine hymns. The story of the Acumen taken from the Old Testament by Thomas Merton in "Beut Trumphier Gottes Sohn."
The story of the "Pentecost" and "Trinity Sunday" told in music terminate the chorale preludes. To end the religious program, Simpson will play "Prelude in E Flat," at selection based on Luther's Catechism.

Jayhawks Defeat K-Aggie Quintet by 33-25 Margin
Johnson and Harrington Turn In Outstanding Performances at Game
SCORE 19-10 AT HALF
By Chiles Coleman
Kansas has won seven games and lost two, compared to six victories and two defeats for Oklahoma. The Sooners will close the Jayhawker's season on the Mt. Oread court, and Coach Hugh McCormott and his gears will go to Lincoln Saturday night for their final game against Nebraska.
Manhattan, Feb. 25. —The Kansas Jayhawks took a step closer to their third successive Big Six conference win over the Tampa Bay Bulls in taking the Kansas State Wildcats, 33 to 25. The victory also placed Kansas in undisputed control of first place, a half game ahead of the Oklahoma Sooners, and a quarter game ahead of Friday night for the championship game.
Led by Bill Johnson, who scored 15 points, the Jahawkers were never in danger of being overcome by the Wild-foots with a 19 to 18 margin at the intermission.
Early Lead to Kansas
K. U. jumped into a five point lead in the 5-10 play of three games on three free throws by Harrington and a spectacular field goal by Johnson. Boyd hung up the first point for the Wildcats with a charity shot, but Walla and Kane both hit to fill game goals, giving Kansas a 9 to 1 lead with 10 minutes played.
Both teams then played on even terms for the next five minutes, and the Jahywhare were leading 14 to 7 by virtue of Johnson's sharp shooting. Captain Andy Skraski then sank with a difficult one-handed basket from the side court and a free throw made possible by Boyd's foul. Kansas was leading 17 to 9. Graham threw in another point for the Wildcats from the charity line, and Johnson connected with a field goal just before the gun to give Johnson a chance to 10 advantage at the intermission.
Kansas State made a desperate attempt at a backout in the opening minutes of the final period, cutting the lead with two outs, only three minutes played, Graham, with three baskets, and Dalton, scoring a free throw, were leaders in the march. The Kansas only score during the game from Hartington's misdemeanor loss.
Jayhawkers in 7-Point Rally
Dr. F. C. Allen's quintet, which realized what a defeat meant in this crucible cage context, then came to life, and led by Johnson, Harrington and Wells, the Jayhawks increased their five minutes remaining to the game.
Skradski, however, started another rally that appeared to be heading off a Kansas victory. He dropped in another long basket, his second of the evening, but Johnson came back for another of his many baskets. At this point Coach Charles Coussut sent Stoneer to the line-up as a forward.
Stoner responded by connecting with two field goals in a row, and this followed by Graham's free throw found the score at 25. There were points behind, the score standing at 29 to 25. Harrison ingored the game for Kansas in the next minute, eluding the Kansas State defense twice to score three, and gave Kansas its 33 to 26 victory.
Two Stars Return to Form
Outstanding in the Jayhawk's great battle to cling to a narrow lead in the Big Six race was the senational back of Harrington and Johnson. Harrington beat Johnson 10-8, he scored in the Missouri game two weeks ago and was held pointless in the Iowa State content here last Saturday. He scored 10 points tonight, and his floor work and basket shooting was shodaward only by that of Johnson'.
The K. U. star pivot man, who is leading the conference in individual scoring, has likewise been "off," and he was not too early in the season and was worn out for the final games. His 18 points tonight, however, leaves little doubt
