thusiastic fans--about 150--Sat-
urday evening, who were bent
on seeing a good wrestling match
between VIM. C. Crosby and
Albert Larson, both of Nickerson,
The fans were well repaid as the
contest was a very close one and
was clean throughout. The out
come was very much in doubt
until the final fall was gained by
Crosby.
The preliminary contest be-
tween the two Larson children
Leona and Billy-was won by the
boy in two straight falls. The
first fall was gained in less than
a minute Of wrestling and the
last fall in 0 minutes. both falls
being gained over the scissor and
arm lock route. Ed LeMay of
Nickerson refereeing. Both child
rem showed that they had learned
many tricks of the game from
their dad who appeared in the
main contest.
Crosby was the first to enter
the ring at 9:10 and received a
big ovation. Larson entered Is
seconds later and was also hearth
ly received, showing that both
had many followers.

for the first and third falls while

was trying for a scissor hold. his
legs being tied around Crosby'i
body. Crosby raised up and sud

amongst the fans as to whether

clared fall inasmuch as it was
announced before the contest
that rolling falls would not count.
Referee Maheu pronounced it a
fall and that settled the matter.
Larson acted as a good sport and
did not protest. taking his de-

The crowd at the White House yes
terday numbered 1,470, but today the

either or both the White House and
the executive Office. OF this number
$500 were members of the American
Chemical Society meeting in Washing
ton. and more than 500 were members
of the American Association of Uni

EXPLORERS TO DIG UP
-YEAR-0LD CITY
Geographic Expedition Sent to
Most Ancient Ruins of
America in Mexico.
DISCOVERY EPOCH MAKING
May Revolutionize History of An
cient Civilization:

The National Geographic Society to-
day announced the sending of an ex-
pedition to Mexico to uncover the
oldest structure yet found on the
American continent. 1t was built
probably 5000 years ago.
The ruins of Cuicuilco, south of
Mexico City, constitute the Pompeii
of the western world.
Probably thousand years before
Pharaoh drove his slaves to build the
great Pyramid. and more than twice
as long ago as King Tutankh Amen
was buried beside the Nile, some
ancient monarch of the valley of
Mexico forced his subjects to erect a
mighty monument to long-forgotten
gods.
Huge Mound Found.
Already San Cuicuilco has disclosed
an artificial mound 412 feet in di-
ameter and so feet high. These OBJ
servations were made by Prof. Byron
Cummings. leader of the Geographic
expedition, in preliminary work at
the site of the amazing ruins.
Further explorations may revolu-
tionize our history of ancient America
Skeleton remains of the Americans
of 1000 years ago, specimens of their
emblems and idols. and pieces of their
earthenware. found at Cuicuilco by
DIR. Cummings. upset current theories
about the origin of human life on our
continent.
Early Americans Distinctive.
1.-The steps of human development
from the simplest beginnings are as
easily traceable in the Valley of Mex
leo as in Mesopotamia or the valley
of the Nile he said. Point out as
we may similarities to Mongolian
types or to western ASiatic and Egyp-
tian designs and conceptions, We must
acknowledge after all that the early
inhabitants of America were dis
tinctly American. Their dissimilarl-
ties to Asiatics, both east and west,
to Africans, and to Europeans are far
more pronounced than their similari-
ties.
'The early American did not differ
greatly from the early Asiatlc, the
early Egyptian, or even the primitive
European.
America thus has a prehistory ex-
tending far back into the early CEN
turies of human development. The
cesses achieved are as interesting
and instructive as any attained by
the renowned human groups of the
old world"
Mound Sealed by Lava.
The lofty mound at Cuicuilco was
sealed and preserved by lava from the
crater Xitli. The Aztecs of Mexico
were preceded by the Toltecs, and the
Toltecs were preceded by a primitive
people whose traces were embalmed
in this lava.
But the volcanic forces in the Val
ley of Mexico have performed more
amazing feat of preservation than did
Vesuvius at Pompeii, for under the
present surface blanket of lava,
known as the Pedregal there is an
other and much earlier lava blanket.
1t is this earlier lava flow which
incases the relics of Americans of
5000 years ago, and which, it is
hoped, will disclose remains of a
civilization that existed even before
the primitive predecessors of the Toll
tees invaded the historic valley.
