Ancient Mayas Travelled In Style;
Had Concrete Highways In 41OA.D.
By F. B. COTTON
(As.ociated Press Science Wriser)

(Associated Press Science Writer)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-If
an American motorist could be
transported back 1900 years to
the time when the mighty lost en-
pire of the Maya is believed to
have flourished in southern Mex
leo, he could easily have toured
it in his car over first-class con-
crete roads.
These roads, better than any
built in modern America until the
coming of the automobile, still
criss-cross the region which is now
deserted. One of them, running
more, than 60. miles straight across
country, has been surveyed and
explored for the first time by an
expedition of the Carnegie In
stitution of Washington.
Roads Easily Traced
Though built about the time
when Alaric. the Goth was sacking
Rome with his barbarian hordes,
in 40 A. d., the roads still can
be easily traced through the jungle
that covers them and the ruins of
the cities that they connected.
Experts say the Maya roads are
fully as good as the famous high
ways of the ancient Romans. The
one explored by the Carnegie In
stitution expedition, headed by
Alfonso Villa, runs in practically
a straight line 621s miles from
YAKIMA to Coba.
30-Foot Road
This road is from 80 to "a feet
wide, raised from two to eight
feet above the level of the sur
rounding country. The old Maya
engineers dug down to hardpan
along the roads route, and built
retaining walls of large limestone
blocks set in mortar on either side
to the height to which they wished
to bring the road surface.
Between the walls was first
laid layer of huge boulders, two
to three feet long and weighing
hundreds of pounds, with the
spaces chinked with smaller stones,
Successfully smaller layers of
stones were laid on top of the
boulders, then a layer of fine
broken rolled or pounded into a
hard, level surface, and finally a,
smooth coating of mortar cement.
Along this road Villas expedi-
ton found what is probably Amer
ica's first road roller, a stone
cylinder Is feet long, weighing
five tons, and antsdating by 1900
years the steamroller Of today.
1t probably was rolled about by
slaves or war captives of the
Maya in road surfacing.
The roads must have been built
for human foot-traffic only.
scientists believe, for the Maya
had no wheeled vehicles as did
the Romans, or burden-carrying
animals as did the Incas who built
roads in South America.

SHAUGHNESSY NEXT
CHICAGO GRID BOSS
Selection of LoyoIa Coach
Expected to Be 0kayed
by Board Today.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
)HICAGO, February CLARK
| Daniel (Shag) Shaughnessy,
4 former Minnesota grid star and
now coach at Loyola of New
Orleans, today was recommended as the
man to pick up where Amos Alonzo
Stagg left off on the University Of Chi
cago foot ball field.
Shaughnessy's appointment as grid
iron coach on Chicago's Midway needed
only the approval Of the university's
board Of trustees at its meeting this
afternoon.
While not mandatory, the trustees
were expected to follow the recon-
mendation Of Thomas Nelson Metcalf,
new athletic director, that ShaughneSsy
Is the best man on the long list of ap-
plicants for the job which the 70-year-
old Stagg was forced to relinquish.
Chicago returned the compliment to
the University of Minnesota, which now
has two alumni as gridiron coaches in
the Western Conference.
IN 1890 Minnesota took Stages star
=
Crisler, as its gridiron coach.
Shaughnessy, who starred as tackle,
end and fullback at Minnesota from
1911 to 1913, becomes head man for the
MaroonS, who for Al years were sent
into the gridiron wars by Stagg.
Crisler has moved on to Princeton,
and Minnesota's coach is Bernie Bier
man, another Gopher star of the old
days.
Like Minnesota, Chicago's choice
made his reputation as grid tutor at
New Orleans. Shaughnessy and Bier
man were contemporaries there, at
Loyola and Tulane.
Nearly 80 years Stages junior,
Shaughnessy has held but two jobs.
From 1915 to 1926, inclusive, he was
athletic director and coach at Tulane.
Then he transferred to Loyola of the
South.
L i lane his teams won So games, tied
s and lost 27. Loyola squads under
his tutelage won 38, tied and lost 16.
but at Minnesota he won his letter twice
in basket ball and once in track. He
went to high school in st. Paul.
Metcalf, drafted from Iowa State Col
lege to take Stages other job as ath-
letic director, had the names Of dozens
Of coaches who wanted the task of
building a winning team at the midway.
His selection of Shaughnessy came
soon after a meeting of Stages former
players, who wanted the job to go to
one Of their members.
Forced to retire because of his age.
Stagg refused to quit foot ball and has
signed as coach at the College of the
Pacific, Stockton, Calf.
NEW ORLEANS, February R.-
~ Clark Shaughnessy, Loyola Uni
versity coach, who was selected as
foot ball coach at the University of
Chicago, Is in Baton Rouge, La, and
could not be reached early today for
comment.
Shaughnessy, the father of the
"Shaughnessy shift" planned to the
rhythm of music, is regarded as one of
the most brilliant foot ball coaches in
the country -
/. He, is, noted for his trick plays and
trps out fast, snappy teams. As a
Coach of Tulane University from 1915
to 1925 he developed two championship
teams.
Shaughnessy, a graduate of Mime
sofa, has indicated he would accept the
new coaching position.
