Madrid Dee. 13 R)-Ten thou sand troops in full field equipment have gone into action against the north Of Spain. converging upon the frontier town of Ayerbe where re- bellious infantry and artillery en- saged royal detachment in battle at daybrcak this morning.
 So far as could be learned in the face Of demoralized communications the mutiny had not spread beyond the province Of Huesca where the rebels, variously estimated at be- tween 1000 and 5000, had massed their forces.
 Rebels Had Few Arms
 The mutinecrs, censored informa- ton indicated, had only such arms and equipment as could be seized in the Jaca garrison, and the govern ment professed confidence that the revolt would be put down speedily.
 There were unveritied reports that the uprising had extended to Sara Sossa, where Major Ramon Franco, 'i| PlStti ~EitC oN lhLoi, Sdo SGIlu U be at the head of the movement, but virtually all telephone and tele- graph communication with that area was cut off.
 There also were rumors that tho rebels were holding six federal off cers as hostages. threatening sum- mary execution if loyal troops mop cd into battle. The report was that these captures had been made dur ing the night while the rebels marched from Jaca to Ayerbe. where night skirmish preceded this morn ing's battle.
 Madrid Without News
 Madrid remained in almost con- plete ignorance Of the true state of affairs although tho authorities in sisted that the trouble had been con- fined to the region in Huesca about Jaca. If it had spread to Saragossl, the uprising was conceded to have assumed a much more serious aspect lnasmuch as that city is the garri- son for q considerable number Of federal troops

 Until next week also was passed over the final cleanup of the admin stration unemployment and drought relief program, on which the two branches of congress must get to- gether.

WASHINGTON AND GOTHAM
 SOCIETY TO PARTICIPATE

President Hoover Unable to Attend Because of Official Business 1 Sends Military Aide - Secretaries of War and Navy to Witness Bat- tle-Cadcts and Midshipmen Re. hearSe Stunts.
 New York, Dec. Is Gp - Seventy thousand spectators marched toward the Yankee Stadium today to watch the 5lst football clash between the Army and Navy and, incidentally, to give the unemployed a helping hand to the extent of three quarters Of d million dollars.
 In a season replete with the sen- satlonal, this renewal Of relations between the two government acade- mics WAS the grand climax, offering first closely contested struggle be- tween two evenly matched teams. and secondly a chance to aid a worthy cause.
 There were strong hopes that re- celpts not only from ticket sales but from incidental concessions might swell to total of Sl,000,G GOO. What ever the total, football history can point to no previous game involving such prodigious financing.
 Grover Whalen's committee in charge of arrangements has had a, hard row 10 hoe. For some time the game failed to arouse the general interest that had been expected, perhaps because most experts pre- dictcd an overwhelming victory for the Army's hus3ies, The Army still was favored today, but no longer by any excessive margin.
 Navy Victory Helps
 Nays smashing triumph over Pennsylvania last week did more than all the publicity in the world to start spurt in ticket sales, The midshipmen revealed a smoothly working, powerful attack and rug ged defense against Penn and their stock took a sharp rise.
 Another factor in the swing to- ward the Navy was the conviction, held in some quarters, that the Army could not hope to regain the form the Cadets showed against Notre Dame. when they bowed by 2 one point margin. Army also has been weakened by injuries but still loomed formidable machine for any opposition.
 Attracting almost as much inter- est as the players themselves, were the corps of Cadets and the regi- ment of Midshipmcn whose maneuv- CTS have added much to the color of previous Army-Navy games.
 Washington Represented
 Numerous notables from official Washington were here for the game, but most of the crowd was made up of just plain fans who had paid anywhere from So to $50 for their seats.
 Army and Navy met 80 times on the gridiron before the famous breal, in relations after the 1927 game. Army won 1 , of these games, Navy 12 and three were tied. The 1927 game was won by the Army, 14-9. chiefly through the exploits of "Lighthorse Harry" Wilson.

 Soyopa, Sonora, Mex, Dec. IS UP)-Fivc large skeletons, the first evidences that a race of super men once roamed this vast waste land, were unearthed today by an in- ternational eXepditon of scientists.
 Working rapidly for two nights and d day, the little band Of Amerl- can and Mexican archa eologists un- carthed the pctritied remains of d youth six feet, eight inches tall, the skeletons of four other children O. lesser stature and several jars filled with human ashes.
 The importance of these discover, ies was the fact they definitely es- tablished our scene of operations as d great burial ground, according to Dr. Byron k. Cummings, dean oi the University ot Arizona archaeol- ogy department and leader of tha expedition.
 Seek Adult Burial Ground
 Their confidence renewed by the discoveries. the scientists at once turned their attention to uncovering the skeletons of adults-the relics upon which they will rely to estab . fish their belief in the existence O: a hitherto mythical race of "Cy- clOps."
 J. L. Coker, the Sonora mining man who guided the party to the excavation site and pointed out the three giant skeletons he found a few weeks ago, surveyed wide area which he said held possibilities for added discoveries.
 The rowing band of wild Yaqui Indians are our only source Of worry. They are all armed and we are compelled to keep d sharp look out for them at all times,
 Travelling to the excavations from Soyopa we wet band of 20 sof these sHvases. We had expected such an encounter, hut their fero- cious appearance and evident hos tility startled us, They, made no move to attack us, but allowed Us to pass unmolested.
