FRIGHTENED NATIVES FLEE IN PANIC BEFORE JAPANESE ADVANCE
(173)

Meanwhile remnants of the Chinese army mobilize nearby to defend the nation against an offensive on the Mukden-Pieping railroad which links this section with Manchuria, the scene of the greatest fighting.

HIGHLIGHTS IN 1931'S NEWS
(431)
The parade of events during the past year dealt disastrous blows throughout the world. The major catastrophe of the period was the floods at Hankow, China where upwards of 500,000 persons died in one of the most terrible tragedies that ever visited the Orient.
The most terrifying earthquake disaster the Western Hemisphere has known nearly wiped Managua, Nicaragua, off the face of the globe.
The Bourbon dynasty, successors to the throne of Spain, fell before revolutionary forces, and a monarchical government that had endured since 3,000 B.C. retired from existence as Alfonso XIII abdicated and the nation became a Republic.
Aviation history continued to be made in 1931, with Harold Gatty and Wiley Post setting their plane Betty Mae down on Long Island after circling the globe in a little over 8 days.
Daredevil flying contributed the greatest thrill in the thrilling history of the newsreel screen, with the crash of Lowell Bayles. Screaming through the air at 300 miles an hour, Bayles' plane, twisting and turning, plunged to earth and catapulted the intrepid pilot to his death.
This symposium of the great events of the year would be incomplete without 1931's best laughs -- and a couple of 'em are included that have shaken rafters throughout the civilized world -- and uncivilized, too.

SHANGHAI, China -- Fu Tan University students gather and select a group representing them to journey to Nanking to lay their objection before President Chiang. In direct opposition to the dictates of the government leaders, the young men and women adopt a set of demands advocating among other things, the immediate declaration of war against Japan.

TULANE SUBDUED BY TROJAN GRIDDERS IN CLASSIC STRUGGLE
(212)
PASADENA, Cal. -- The football season is climaxed by the thrilling battle between the Southern champions and the Far Western leaders in the annual Tournament of Roses game. Living up to their reputation as a powerful team on the offensive, Southern California drives the Green Wave to a 21-12 defeat. But the Greenies fight to the last ditch. In the final quarter Don Zimmerman finally gets his overhead game going on all cylinders and drops a pass into Jerry Dalrymple's hands for a score and follows it closely with another touchdown over a similar route. But the Southern gentlemen start too late, and the mythical national championship goes to the West Coast eleven.
