GRID RULES NEEDED
TO PROTECT INJURED

In the Alabama Georgia game on
Thanksgiving day at Birmingham
there occurred one of the finest exhi
btions of gameness ever witnessed
and, as well. a piece Of gross negli-
gence on the part of those whose duty
it is to safeguard players.
In the latter part Of the game an
end named Nash was sent into the
Georgia lineup. He soon came into
contact with Alabama's blocking, and
never has the writer seen such fierce
and accurate blocking as Alabama
players performed. 1t was deadly.
Struck by Alabama's hurting backs
and ends, the defending players went
to the turf the way tenpins fall when
struck by swift-rolling ball on a
bowling alley.
In one of the plays Nash was taken
out in this way. He was literally cut
in two. He lay on the ground for a
minute, and when he rose he was bent
in two. And thus bent he took his
place in the line. broken. sick. groggy.
and yet thinking of nothing but
stopping the next Alabama play.
Perhaps the Alabama quarter saw
his plight. The writer likes to think
that he did. At any rate. the play
went on the opposite side. Nash
plunged forward, fell, crawled on his
knees. and then in his bent-double
position he fought his way to the
play.
If Alabama's quarter had sent the
play over him there is every proba-
bility he would have been killed. Why
was he left in the game in such
plight? 1t should be said that imme-
diately afterwards he was taken out,
or rather carried out.
Springer. the referee, was asked
why he did not blow his whistle and
come to the sideline and report that
Nash was helpless and should be re-
moved at once. Springer replied that
under the rules he had no right to do
this. If this is the case. rule should
speedily be made giving the referee
power to act in such way as to pro.
tect a player who Is obviously unfit
to remain In the game.

HiS Swan Song.

His Swan Song.
The excavations are in charge OF
DR.. J. Walter Fewkes, head of the
anthropology section of the Smith
sonian Institution and one of the
pioneer archaeologists of the Uni
ted States. DR.. Fewkes has been
one of the most profound students
of the archaeology of the southwest
and the subject has been practically
his life's hobby. He is getting along
in years and, as he said to the
writer, this is probably my swan
song-and I am glad that it is a
worthwhile contribution to our
knowledge of the prehistoric in
habitants of Arizona"
The venerable scientist may be
getting along in years." but his
is distinctly NOT to be his "swan
song" for he is as active as
a man of 40, his brain is as keen
as ever, his eye as bright, and his
interest as vivid as that of boy.
Not shovelful of earth is turned
over but he is right there to see
what it may contain. He is assisted
in this expedition by John H.
Harrington of the Smithsonian and
]. c. Clarke of Arizona, custodian
of the Wapatki national monument.
A Great Pueblo
AS stated, the excavations show
a great pueblo or communal dwell
ling approximately 500 feet square
and containing hundreds of rooms.
1t is impossible to write much on
the dwellings themselves at this
time, as they are but partially ex-
cavated, attention being centered
on the excavations to the east of
the ruins proper which are yielding
rich treasures in the way of skele-
tons, pottery, turquoise, etc.
Of the ruins themselves, nothing
is left but parts of the walls, al
though it is hard to determine at
this time how high these walls will
prove, as the entire section has
been deeply covered by drifting
sand. The walls are particularly
we'll built of flat stones with a
clayey sort of mortar and it is
evident that the builders had either
crude instruments or remarkably
good eyes, for all the corners SO
far exposed are perfectly square
and the lines are straight, while the
interior partitions are well bonded
to the main exterior walls.
The ruins has not yet received
an official name, although it was
christened "Sheep House" by the
original discoverer. This name will
most asssuredly be changed.
Details of a Find
The writer was privileged to OBJ
serve, on Sunday morning, the
complete process of unearthing a
skeleton.
DR.. Fewkes, from a close exam
ination of the surface, determined
that a certain spot was probably q
grave, and digging was begun
where he indicated. For the first
two or three feet the digger work,
ed carelessly, simply throwing out
the earth in the usual way. Their

ing but a light cut and watching
for the slightest indication o.

bones. 1t was not long until his
spade struck the skeleton and then
a trowel was substituted for the
larger implement and every bit of
earth taken out was carefully ex-
amined. He had struck the skele-
ton near the feet, and, inch by inch,
it was uncovered without disturb
ing the position of the bones.
Across the breast lay the frag-
ments of a prayer stick" which
had evidently been beautifully dec
Grated, for bits of the azurite paint
were still in evidence, while the
wood was completely rotted.
Near the shoulders was a beaut1-
fully made clay jar, about six in
ches in diameter and five inches
high. 1t was brown on the outside
and jet black on the inside and the
workmanship was distinctly good.
In the bottom was an inch or
more of black, charcoaly stuff
which DR.. Fewkes explained as be-
ing the residue of the food with
which the jar had been filled at the
time of burial.
The skull was in perfect preser-
walton, even to the teeth, although
several of these had dropped from
the sockets It showed the typical
flattening on the back Of the head
which, DR.. Fewkes said, was caus-
ed by the practice that prevails to
this day, of strapping the infant to
a board which enabled the mother
to carry it easily on her back and
which also served as a cradle, be-
ing laid flat on the ground and
rocked" by the mothers foot.
Incidentally, the old idea that
toothache was unknown among our
American aborigines was dissipar-
ed by an examination of this skele-
ton which disclosed several good
sized cavities in the teeth, some of
them large enough to have made
the "first American" know that
something unpleasant was happen
ing to him.
The skeleton itself was not dis
turbed, but was carefully covered
up with paper, DR.. Fewkes explain
ed that if the bones were removed
at this time, they would break to
bits, whereas if left to dry out
slowly, they would regain sufficient
strength to permit their removal
as whole.
Died i'm War.
DR.. Fewkes showed the writer
another skeleton which evidently
was that of a warrior, as the skull
was pierced by a flint spearhead
which was still in place.
Antique Jewelry
One of the most interesting
finds to date was associated with
this skeleton = a shell bracelet
which the doctor declared is very
unique. 1t is in a solid piece, evil
IDENTIFY cut from a clam shell, and
| cut close to the outer edge of the
shell. The peculiar feature is that
rather large, shield-shaped part
of the she'll is left as an ornament ;
the nearest comparison that occurs
to the writer is that of a modern
wrist watch. The bracelet itself
is not over quarter of an inch in
thickness and, all the way around
it is beautifully ornamented with
hatchings (cross cuts) in at least
three patterns. 1t is an ornament
that any modern belle would be
proud to wear.
DR.. Fewkes estimates that it will
require several months to complete
| the excavations.
