After the 7th Alpine Regiment

for the athletes to march into

However. Spencer may be able
to play. despite a cut that
opened the entire left side of
his face and caused the game
to be called at that point by
mutual agreement. Thus, the
match goes down as a Go dead

clubs. which is probably how it
would have ended anyway.

Only Few Bones Remain
The Chibchas were quickly
destroyed by the white men and
their culture died with them.
Only a few bones remain as
evidence of a nation that fell be-
fore invaders.
Recently, it was reported. q
Chibcha grammar compiled by
Ia Franciscan missionary was
found in Spanish archives. The
document would be the only
remains Of a language that has
mot been spoken for two centuries
Chibcha blood today is a
major element in that Of modern
Colombians. 1t is partly respon-
sible for the exceptionally hand
some Indian Spanish features OF
these people Of the northwestern
corner of South America. In
brief, the Chibchas were Ameri-
can Indians and probably rela-
lively recent arrivals, although
nobody knows where they came
from.
In DR.. Andrade's jail are relics
of an even more mysterious race
q race that carved hugh stone
statues of their demons and gods

Today the road to FL Dorado
starts in Jail.
The jail. a big, gloomy build-
ing on a Bogota hillside. has
stone walls two feet thick. 1t is
windowless and the massive steel
doors Of its cell blocks are opened
by a guard whose string Of keys
weighs several pounds.
Died Five Centuries Ago
The jail's only prisoners are
stone demons and skeletons Of
men who died there five or more
centuries ago.
The Jail is being converted into
Colombia's archaeological mu-
scum. DR.. Antonio Andrade
Crispano and others are assem-
bling in it what evidence remains
of a dead civilization.
In the search to reconstruct 9
lost chapter in history, the jail
is proving a valuable source.
A major portion in this history
must be reserved for the .'golder
men," the men who were some
of the finest goldsmiths the worlc
has ever known.
These were the Chibcha In
