Famous Chinese Envoy Speaks To U. of M. Students
M. Linebarger Is AdvUor To Nationalist China Government
Mr. Paul M. Linebarger, advisor to the present Nationalist government of China and a special envoy, made two addresses at the university on Wednesday. Mr. Linebar-ger, who was also an advisor and close friend of the Late Dr. Sun yat Sen, first president of the republic of China, spoke to the class in American Economic History and about a hundred guests Wednesday morning. He was guest speaker at the meeting of the International Relations Club that night in the Girls’ Social Hall.
Mr. Linebarger is at present in the western hemisphere to promote the founding of a special Chinese trading port in Cuba. He is negotiating with the Cuban government for a large concession to be a clearing house for all Chinese imports and exports from the western world. He has been stop-ping.in Miami for the past three or four days.
The text of the speech delivered by the envoy to the economic history class follows:
Japan is giving America a slap in the face by annexing Manchuria, which is Chinese territory, and a great market for our goods. Japan will undoubtedly shut off any further flow of our products into Asia from this direction.
Japan is a nation of imitators, not originators. Everything they have they have copied or otherwise taken from other peoples. Their policy is a mixture of that of \ ictorian England and Hohenzol-lem Germany: the Japs pursue the old British policy of “peaceful penetration” and the German idea of national expansion thru the medium of a grejat army.
Manchuria is a great territory comparative in area, resources and diversity of products with California, Oregon, , Washington, and British Columbia. Six times as many Chinese (as Japs have settled in the province.

Ten candidates, representing the leading clubs and sororities of the greater Miami area, have been entered in the second annual “Queen of Clubs” contest and dance to be given Saturday night, December 19th, at the Miami Biltmore Coun- j try Club. The dance is a benefit for the University of Miami gen- ( eral library and. is being sponsored by the Pi Chi fraternity of the University.
The “Queen of Clubs” dance was given for the first time last year at the Miami Biltmore Country Club and was one of the outstanding dances of the university year. All clubs and sororities of the greater Miami area are asked to enter candidates for the title of "Queen of Clubs’’. Miss Clarp Nelle Du- j Puis, representing the Lambd.a Phi sorority of the university, won the title last year.
The queen will be selected at a special coronation service to be held at midnight, at which time the girl being selected will receive a loving cup and many additional prizes. The club selling the most tickets will receive a cash prize.
The dance will come as a climax to the social events of the university before the Christmas holidays, which commence December 20th, and continue until January 3rd. j The fraternity boys are planning the dance so that it will be a larger social success than that of last year. Already the number of clubk ! that are entering candidates is larger than that of last year, with several other clubs planning on having a girl representing them.
The clubs and sororities that have entered girls are: Miami Junior Woman's Club, Miss War-rene Zimmerman; Quinqua Via, Mrs. Casper Hefty; Kalpa Club, Miss Katherine Stewart; Acacia, Miss Flossie Dunten; Zeta Phi sorority, Miss Marguerite Sweat; Lambda Phi, Miss Louise Paxton; Alpha Delta, Miss Sue Gates; Alpha Kappa Alpha, Miss Mar-* jorie Tebo; Sigma Phi, Miss Babs Wilkins; and Miss Elizabeth Bolton, Theta Tau.
Vachel Lindsay, world-famous poet, artist, lecturer, traveler, and | wandering minstrel, who was scheduled to lecture here at the Winter Institute of Literature, died last Saturday night. He passed away in his home at Springfield, Illinois, in the house in which he was born. Death was caused by heart disease.
Mr. Lindsay was to have conducted the last week of lectures in the U. of M. Winter Institute, on “American Poetry, Old, New, and Present Day”. Dr. Lowe is com-' municating with men to take his place, and Robert Frost and Joseph Hergesheimer seem to be the best prospects.
Lindsay studied at Hiram College, New York School of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He was noted fop his new method of reading his poetry, and was con-1 sidered one of the best readers that ever lived.
His best-known books are “Adventures while Preaching”, “The Chinese Nightingale”, “Going to' the Stars”, and “Collected Poems” (1928). Great sorrow was felt by all lovers of literature at his death. The following eulogy was written by Dr. Lowe, head of the English department here:
“The death of Vachel Lindsay at the age of fifty-two is a distinct loss to American literature. No poet has been more familiar with the currents of our life nor has anyone caught the expiession of that life so well thru the tones of poetry. Mr. Lind.^y’s untamed imagination and his sympathy with the men who do the work of America made him a rare prophet in verse.
■ “I shall not only miss Vachel Lindsay as a member of the faculty of the Winter Institute, but I shall miss him as a friend of great charm.”

An anonymous committee of thirteen students appointed for the purpose selected the sponsors for tonight’s charity game between the Alabama State Teachers and the Miami Hurricanes met Wednesday. They announced Miss Louise Paxton, sophomore, and Miss Marguerite Sweat, senior, to be the co-eds chosen for this honor. Their respective escorts will be Hartwell Hunter and Walter Bergh.
The game tonight will be sponsored by the Mahi Shrine of Miami for their Empty Stocking Fund, all profits going to charity. The Shriners will have complete charge of the program, with the patrols, the band, the Legion of Honor and other divisions in attendance in full uniform. Different divisions will be situated on different sides of the field, and gatemen and other functionaries will be Shriners.
A capacity crowd is expected for this game, and three thousand extra seats have been added to the stadium, bringing the total seating facilities to approximately eight thousand.
A special feature of the night will be the march of the-sponsors at the beginning of the game. They will walk with their escorts to the center of the field, with Shriners in full regalia on either side, one sponsor to represent each team. Large bouquets have been donated by McAllister and by Donn, florists of Miami. Trumpeters will sound the march from the east stands.
All ushers, militia, police, ticket-men, etc., will receive no pay for their sen-ices. No passes will be issued for the game, as it is the purpose of the sponsors to turn over as much money to the charity fund as is possibly. Students will be admitted on their activity books at the north gate. It is imperative that the student .cbeering-section "be as large and active as possible.

Fresh from a hard fought victory over the famous Parris Island Marine team, the University of Miami Hurricanes take the field tonight against the Alabama State Teachers in a charity game, strengthened by, the return to the lineup of several cripples.
Graczyk, Dansky, Puglisi, and several others who were ordered to take a two day rest because of bruises received in the Marine game, will be ready for lots of action tonight against the Alabamians. Crash Siler, veteran guard and tackle, will not yet be in shape to play, however, and there is only a slight possibility that Bates, Crowe, and Cronin will get in tonight’s scrap.
Coach McCann has been putting his men through hard defensive and offensive scrimmages in order to be ready for anything the Teachers may spring, and the Hurricanes have responded with plenty of pepper and fight. McCann will take no chances on tonights outcome, since reports indicate the Teachers are anything but a setup.
The only scores available show that Sewanee, a Southern Conference member, had a tough time subduing the Alabama team, 18-0, and in an early season tilt the powerful Rollins Tars caught the Teachers on an off day, winning 37-14. The remainder of their record is said to be extremely good, a change in the coaching staff having been mainly responsible. Waters, a 160 pound center, is reported to be as good as any center in the S. I. A. A. Jones and Bryant, two | rangy ends, are adept at snagging ; passes and breaking up opposing heaves. Whiteside, a 190 pound tackle, and Hughes, 200 pound fullback, have been the most consistent stars for the Alabamians. The former is noted for his ag-. gressiveness and speed, while Hughes has drawn the praise of sports writers throughout the year for his line plunging, tackling and | blocking.
The Miamians will probably line i up w;ith Middleton and Bierkamper at the ends, Weiss and Graczyk at tackles, Puglisi and Dansky at guards, Connors at center, Lee calling signals, Moore and Lanier as halves, and L’ltalien at full.
