There were representatives., too,
OF the graduating classes OF 1887
1888, 1889 and 1871. Six players
from last years squad were present
for the contest. The Alumni turn
out was the largest In Roosevelt
athletic history.
Despite the formidable array OF
veterans opposing them, the Rough
Rider varsity had little trouble In
winning its season opener. Held to

turned on the pressure in the third
and fourth periods 10 more than
double the score on its foe.

mand for goods and services, including

INDIANS DEPEND
ON ACORN FOOD
MADE INTO mUsH. FLOUR;
HAVE BEEN STAPLE
FOOD FOR YEARS

Visalia. Cal. Feb. 10 UP -
Acorns from the oak trees OF the
San Joaquin Valley have furnished
an important staple food in the diet
OF Indians Of the Yokuts tribe for
hundreds OF years,
Consequently. II was OF consider
able concern TO Indians when the
crop OF acorns was light last fall.
In the old days. the Indians lived
on acorns day in and day out, con-
verting them usually into mUsh.
sometimes baking the mush on hot
rocks and frequently cooking II
with deer meat or quail. Before the
white man brought his civilization
10 this area, the acorn meats and
acorn flour could be kept infeti-
nitely. But now they frequently be-
come grub.lnfested after only few
months.
II has become necessary 10 re-
plenlsh the supply OF dcorns every
year. That's why the Indians we're
saddened by the short crop.
Almost every Indian camp. and
there are stu hundreds sprinkled
about the edges Of farming commun-
tiles in the hills and the valley,
keeps a big store OF dried acorns In
wicker willow baskets
The Yokuts dry the acorn meats
In the sun and grind them into flour
on granite mortars. The flour Is
wlnnowed on a ground tray until II
Is as fine as wheat flour. The bitter
ness natural 10 acorns Is leached
out by placing the flour in a cloth
and pouring lukewarm water on
It.
The meal Is cooked by placing II
IN a closely woven basket. Rocks
are heated over an oak wood fire
and then Tipped into the basket
Rhere- the meal and-sWaisr have
been mixed. -Four rocks are enough
10 cook a basket OF mush that feeds
five Indians. The mush is light
brown in color and almost taste
less.
The Yokuts--transla the
word means people-at one time
Inhabited the San Joaquin valley
for $50 miles from north to south
and 100 miles from east to west.
They pitched their camps In the
hills fringing the plain and migrated
10 the loglands in search OF ami
mails. fish. weed seeds or roots and
acorns. Oak trees supplied the In
dams the biggest share OF their
food.
