MONUMENT TO
 FINDING OF OIL
First Located iQ New York
 State in 1927

Cuba, N. r.. May 20 P-Three centuries after the first white ex- plorer discovered oil on the Ameri- can continent, the spot where the discovery was made. Is to be marked with a suitable monument.
 Deep in a woodland plot on the Seneca Indian reservation near here. the "oil spring." first mentioned July IS. 1927. in a letter by Joseph de la Roche d'Allion. a Franciscan monk. is to be the scene of the cere- mony. The exercises are under the joint auspices of the New York State Oil Producers Association. the State of New York. the Cuba Cham Der of Commerce, and other groups.
 For untold years before Father d'Allion penetrated the wilderness of the Iroquois country, the spring was known to the Indians. They attributed it to supernatural powers because of the healing qualities of it's product. Fabric dipped into the oily scum on the surface and wrung out produced the oil. The aborigines used this for healing ailments. to grease their hair and for other pur- poses.
 Visited by many whites after Father d'Allon. the spring has been written of in many historical works Most of the earlier ones mention it as producing flame when coals were applied to its surface. Later visitors found 1t to be a deep pool of water. from the depths of which rose bub- bles of petroleum. Even today these bubbles form ! scum on the water.

giving the spring the name. Seneca Indian Oil Spring"
 The country south of the reser- vation, reaching we'll into Pennsyl- vania, is famous for its petroluem. but in the immediate vicinity oil never has been found in paying quantities In 1857 the first oil we'll was drilled near the spring-hut 1t proved a failure
 The spring is sourrounded today. as it has been for years. by wild growth of trees and bushes, which are to be cleared away in time for the tercentenary celebration. The Seneca Indians. recognizing the im- portance of the event, have grant, ed the committee in charge the right of way through their reserva- ton for road to the spring and also the land for 75 feet around it.
 The spring. now walled in with boards, is accounted for by Seneca tradition in a typically Indian fash ion. A fat squaw. the legend goes. was gazing into the pool many years ago. long before the white men came. She became too curious and 'venturing too near the edge. fell in and disappeared forever. Ever since, oil has been floating to the surface, and the Indians have used it to appease all manner of pains"
 This years observance of the discovery will be held on July IS. the date mentioned by Father d'Al- lion as that of his first visit. The date in 1927 is accepted as that of the first sight of oil in America by a white man. Sir Walter Raleigh. however, in 1895 mentioned finding petroleum on the Island of Trinidad.

ALUMNI EASILY
 BEATS REGULARS
High School Independents No
 Match for Former Stars

After running up points at will ir the early part of the Alumni High School Independents game at Me mortal Field Saturday. the gradu- ates began to toy with the school boys and toward the last 1t was a farce which had spectators laughing until the end of the game"
 The management which was con- ducting the game nearly took a beating, but with about s15 left after all the other expenses were | paid, the sum was divided equally between the three officials and so the Polish Orphanage and the Chil- dren's Home did not benefit by the game. In other words the score was Alumni, 25; Independents, 13; Children's Home and Polish Or phanage, 0.
 The forward-passing combination from Fordham University, Grip to Politis did not fail on one pass and Politis carried the ball across for two touchdowns. Gennette also benefited by Grips wonder passes when he made two beautiful runs to within inches of touchdown and in the final part of the game made a touchdown from one Of them. Bray scored the Alumni's last touchdown on an end run. Grip scored the only point after touch down.
 Both of the High schools scores were gifts. Toward the latter part of the game, Mike Grip caught the ball on his own 35 yard line and ran through the Alumni team for a touchdown. but this was not coned- cred such an accomplishment when it Is considered that on the opposing team was his brother Johnnie" who did a "fade-away" as his brother came tearing down the middle of the field. It was brotherly-lovc Sowka sat on the bench and as the last play of the game was being started, he ran out on the field, took a pass from Landino, and ran about 35 yards to score.

 Besides its rivalry for title honors, the 1927 season left a trail of up- sets. marked by the overthrow of champions in nearly every confer ence and section, as we'll as new high marks in attendance and receipts. Figures gathered from all parts of the country indicate that the az gregate attendance was between 25,- 00o,o00 and 30.OO0,00o with the gate" somewhere In the neighbor- hood of s5O,o0o,Oo0. Considering the comparative shortness of the grid iron season, this Is mark that no other sport, amateur or professional, can match.
 The high single game mark was reached at Chicago, where approxi- mately 1l3.000 paid to see Notre Dame nose out Southern California on the same field that housed the previous record breaking crowd. 10000, at the Army-Navy game of last year. The Stanford California classic on the Pacific Coast drew 90,000 spectators, while Michigan's new stadium at Ann Arbor twice housed jams of around S6,000 for the Navy and Ohio State games. In the east approximately 76,000 fans were at five Of the outstanding con- f'icts.

NATIONAL TITLE
 NOT YET DECIDED
Georgia and Pittsburgh Appar.
 ently Lead the Field

l New York Nov 2S LTp - The climax of college footballs spectacu- lar season, now awaiting only the : final returns from few sectors of the south and far west, leaves the national championship still undecid- : cd but with the race narrowed down, l in the opinion of most unbiased ob- servers. to a contest between the Bulldogs of Georgia and the Pan- thers of Pittsburgh.
 These two have Their rivals and challengers for sectional as well as national honors, but few critics question that, for the present at least, they have as substantial a claim as any outfit to the main laurel wreaths.
 The title hopes of each now are centered about forthcoming engage ments that will determine their final rating. Georgia, with nine success sive victories to its credit and Yale among its victims, plays Georgia Tech in the classic of the south at Atlanta this Saturday. Pittsburgh, triumphant in eight games and tied only by Washington &s Jefferson, journeys to the far west for the Tournament of Roses game on Jan uary 2 with Leland Stanford one of the contenders for the Pacific Coast Conference crown.
 The outcome of these battles may not end the dispute but they at least will help to clear the title atmos- phere.
 There are at least a half dozen other teams whose records cannot be overlooked when the final rating is posted, even though their achieve ments may not quite match those of Georgia and Pittsburgh.
 Yale disputes Pittsburgh's claim to the eastern peak but the Eli set back at the hands of Georgia elim- mates it from the national picture. Washington & Jefferson would have remained at Pitts side but for an- other tie with West Virginia on the same day that the Partners were crushing Penn State.
 Illinois, champions of the western
  conference, experienced only a tie with Iowa State. Likewise the pow erful Texas Aggies, titleholders in the Southwestern Conference came through the season with a slate only by a scoreess deadlock with Texas Christian university. Ten nessee was tied once. by Vanderbilt, after keeping pace most of the sea son with Georgia. Minnesota's jug gcrnaut also was unbeaton but twice tied, by Indiana and Notre Dame.
 Smaller elevens, such as Cente- nary in the south and Tufts in New England, boast records clean of de- feat or tie, but they do not figure in the major college fold however noteW worthy their claims to distinc- ton may be. Centcnary's ten vic- tlms, however, included such strong teams as Southern Methodist and Texas Christian.
 Notre Dame's warriors set out along the national championship l highway in sprightly fashion but | after pumping into Minnesota, | Rockne's ramblers were blown out |
