Many times siuce Ames disap-

searching planes flew over the plot
Where he crashed, but observers
could not see his wrecked plane
because it was hidden from view
by four giant trees, which fell over
the machine. The district is COW
cred BY tail trees and thick under
brush.
An examination showed Ames'
plane contained sufficient gasoline
to have enabled the aviator to f!y

Two kings of the gridiron meet
