ruddy &nI very gmImE,'
 Now the cryptic entries in t'e priests diary have been verified. No longer can Europeans lay claim to being the first white immigrants to the Kew World. But how did the sun god worshippers reach the island them selves? One thcory-rccen1y given considerable substantiaton--is that they migrated from the south many centuries ago. This assumption has been lent weight by Richard o. Marsh, the American explorer, who brought back from the wilds of Da- ren, on the ISthmus of Panama, three young members of the San Bias Indian tribe, who were possessed of golden hair, pale blue eyes and white com. p.exions.
 At first these white Indians were be- lioved by scientists to be a!binos. But careful examination proved that they were not, although they did poses, some albino characteristics. TAerc are three theories about them. One is !le supposition, not well borne out, that they suffer from disease called "leucodcrmia," common in the West Indies; in some quarters they are be- lievcd to be abnormal racial types, and a third theory is that their white com plexions are the result of disturbances

wampum and domestic utensils, is no ordinary Indian rehc find. Not only does it reveal the existence of white race of Indians living in America some 5000 years ago, but it poses a tragic mystery.
 Professor GEddcn's first startling find was huge funeral urn carved out of stone, and containing the skeleton of young girl, crouched in an up- right position within, the tinger-boncs of her little hands clenched over the wampum-inlaid brim. In circle sur rounding the urn were inferred the bodies of sixty-four little children, in tiers four deep, their small heads placed close together.
 Some five feet below the children wa, the skeleton of a gigantic mun- a man measuring z feet inches from the top of the skull to the ankle bone. A spear blade was embedded in the ribs of the left side. There was con- elusive evidence-including strands of hair-that all these people were blondes.
 The sand within the funeral urn had the appearance of ground crystal. It differed from the sand in the burial plot without and may have been sacred stuff used only in the burial of royalty. Around the shoulders of the girl in the urn hung q necklace several yards long, made of minutely carved stone beads. At the bottom of the urn was a jasper spear blade.
 What ghastly accident, what whole sale slaughter, what weirdly inhuman rite, caused the deaths of these G5 young people?
 Were the Catalina Indians, known as worshippers of the sun god Chin igchinch, addicted to the fearful cere- Inonial rites of child sacrifice as is re- corded of the ancient peoples of Mex ico, the Totecs and the Aztecs? Or did they follow the horrible custom of staying the attendants and playmates of royal princess upon her death, so

to thy ruioruHc si1lde.
 Mr. Marsh described his discovery of the Panamanjan white Indians in a letter to the London Times. He wrote:
 "I visited Ina Paguina. Chief of Chiefs, or King of the Darien. At my request Ina Paguina called confer ence of all the chiefs of Daljcn, told them l wanted to see the wa.te Indians that have existed in Daron from time immcmoral, long before the coming of the Spauiarda. The chiefs cai!ed in the white Indians. They came from the mountains, from secluded valleys, from isolated islands. They nrc numbered by the hundreds, if not by the thousands"
 Three young white Indians Mir Marsh brought back to America with h,m, two boys ard a girl. The boys and the girl had golden hair, blue eyes and white, tender skins, Their eyes, as in the case with aIbjnos, were cx- trcacly sensitive to light, and both the boys skins were blemished with "iivsr spots" Their gums were pink, their skulls unusually round and If- fcring markedly from the skulls of typical San Bias Indians. They were not, clearly, however, true albinos, and it is possible that they were the descendants of race of white people

Chinigchinch But Professor Glldden is inclined to the belief that the little maid buried in the urn was the daugh- ter of reigning chief. She may have been killed by an enemy chief or a traitor and given a great war burial. As to how the children buried around her came to be killed he has not yet reached an opinion.
 It is even possible that the little wGitc Indian princess was given some poison potion and buried alive" states Professor Glidlen. "The manner in which her hands clutched the rim of the urn makes this possibility. The natural way in which her little head rcclined against the stone side, as if she had merely fallen asleep, is also significant"
 Buried in the pit with the skeletons of the other children were 1S7 arti- facts. These, fashioned of shell bone and stone, included treasure toxes made of two large clam shells cemented together with asphaltum and contain ing abalone pearl pendants, carved stone beads, small stone rings and other trinkets. There were also small paint pots, bone needles, carved heat ing stones, pipes, stone toys and min iaturc canoes. These indicate that the white Indians of Catalina had reached relatively high stage of civilization
 The Professor has been looking for five months for the legendary temple of the sun god Chingchinch. The temple itself he believes is buried under high landslide not far from where he came upon the graves of the children, Father orquenada, San Fran ciscan friar, who visited Catalina in 1902, told of the ancient cdifices. which he declared contained a hideous grinning idol. Father Torquenada described the Indians. some of whom were alive when he made his visit:
 "The women are very handsome and decent. The children are white aad

BLACKSBURG. Va. November al
Cheered on by hundreds of cadets who
are coming out to Miles Stadium each
day to watch them tune up for the
supreme test of the season, the v. P. I.
gridmen are settling down to the stern
task of preparing for the Thanksgiving
game with v. M. I. In Roanoke. Past
successes and reverSeS are forgotten, now
that all efforts are focused on the
twenty-seventh renewal of the long
rivalry with the Cadets.
Memories of the unexpected setback
at the hands of Maryland last week
rankle in the breasts of the Gobblers
and have caused them to buckle down to
work in businesslike way. The way
Maryland played foot ball last Saturday
probably would have taken the Poly
techmen into camp at their best. But
1t is felt that v. P. I. showed something
Of let-down after the impressive per-
formances against Washington and Lee

Loss Of Hubbard guard whose power

Y tory when Shepherd College is
! encountered at Kendall Green
in the only local college foot
ball game Saturday. Both teams will
be we'll prepared for the contest. The
Kendall Greeners and West Virglnians
meet annually and it usually has been
a tight battle no matter how the teams
size up on paper.
Gallaudet has never won three home
games by shutouts in one season.
Coach Hughes plans several changes
in his lineup.
Lou Little is concentrating on George
towns attack in preparing the Hoyas for
their game November 80 with Detroit,
at Detroit. Georgetown has played great
defensive football all season. but at
times has been woefully weak on the
offensive.
One play prevented the Hilltoppers
from having kept their goal uncrossed
thus far. They had held Western Mary
land on the 4-yard line for three downs
when the Green Terrors uncorked a
tricky pass to score.
With the exception of Capt. Malevich
and Joe Champa, all of Catholic Uni
versity's Cripples will be in shape for
the Turkey day game with George
Washington. Malevich and Champa
have had to give up foot ball for the
remainder of the season.
George Washington likely will take
the worst beating it has received III
the annual contest. The Brooklanders
have one of the strongest teams in their
history and the Colonials are at their
poorest.
Should Maryland beat Johns Hopkins

is strong probability, these old rivals
will be tied, with IL victories each. They

SOUTH TO PRESENT
SIX L-AMER|CAS
Has Three Backs and Trio
of Linemen as Candidates
for High Honors.
BY EDDIE BRETT,

n Six Southern foot ball stars
"A will go to the post in the race

year.
Three of them are backs-Holm OF
Alabama, full and McEver OF Tennes-

The others are linemen-FarrS OF
North Carolina, guard; Sington. Ala
bama guard, or tackle, and Brown,
Vanderbilt, another guard.
In eight games so far Holm has
scored rs points and has gained total
of 1928 yards. OF this total, 312 yards
were gained against Kentucky.
McEver, the Tennessee flash, is sec
ond in the national scoring race, de-
spite the fact that every team he has
met has been coached to stop him.
Banker, another fine back, has been
outstanding in every game Tulane has
PLAYED He is right on Mowers heels
for Dixie scoring honorS.
Freddy Sington, Alabama's 6-foot
215-pound rowing guard, shared honors
with Holm in Alabama's victories0over
Georgia Tech.
Westbrook of Georgia Tech is the
ONLY guard that has gone the route
against Sington. Kentucky used five
different guards opposite the Alabama
giants.
Farris, the North Carolina candidate
is a triple-threat guard. In addition to
playing a smashing game in the line
he can withdraw to the backf1eld to
punt, and, on occasion, to run with ana
pass the ball.
Vanderbilt's fine showing this season
was in large measure due to the work
of Brown in the line. He is being
widely picked for all-Southern honors
He is big, strong, smart and fast.
