George Washington University's first homecoming celebration will reach its peak at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon when Johnny Fenlon and his team- mates take the fleld in Griffith Stadium Appe against the powerful University of Ok- Iahoma eleven. The clash this afternoon is something more than a homecoming game, for it will mark the supreme effort of what is perhaps the best foot ball team ever turned out by George Washington.

Last night the visitors were entertained by an elaborate show in the Washing- ton Auditorium. President Marvin opened the eve- ning’s festivities with an address in which he called attention to the uni- vrsity’s progress in the last few years and paid tribute to the response of the alumni to the first homecoming. He was followed by Dr. Daniel L. Borden, president of the General Alumni Asso- ciation, who lauded President Marvin and Jim Pixlee, foot ball coach. ee, when called upon for a brief talk, told the students and alumni they should be proud of the accomplishments of the university’s foot ball team. The players were not present, as had been g’lumed, but their places were taken co-eds garbed in the varsity uni- form, who put on a skit featuring the forward pass. Fashion Show Is Staged.

HROLICKA TELLS OF VANISHED RACE OF CHILD-EATERS Former Occupants of Kodiak Island May Have Been First ~ People in America. |STRANGE CANNIBALS HAD HIGH CULTURE Ivory Portrait Carvings, Hot Baths and Other Items Discovered in Village Sites. The story of a long-vanished race of child-eaters who were at the same time accomplished artists and possibly among the earliest inhabitants of North America, lies hidden under thick tangles of nettles and wild parsnips on deso- late Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alas- ka, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of phy- sical anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution, said in a lecture at the National Museum last night. Dr. Hrdlicka described his work of the past Summer, when excavations were made through 15 feet of closely- packed soil and debris on old village sites, down to the underlying glacial gravel before the accumulation of which in the ice ages human occupation was impossible. He found specimens buried in depressions of this gravel, obviously those of the earliest settlers on the site. Other Food Abundant. The Summer’s work reveals, without doubt, Dr. Hrdlicka said, that this mys- tericus ancient people were cannibals of a sort hitherto unknown in North America. The skeletal remains indicate strongly that they ate children. There are occasional records of cannibalism among_Indian tribes, but always for magical purposes. Thus boys formerly were made to eat the heart of a slain enemy distinguished for his courage. This courage was supposed to be stored in the heart and to pass to the eater. But this ancient people, Dr. Hrdlicka says, apparently ate all sorts of human beings for food. This is all the more remarkable, it was pointed cut, be- cause there apparently was abundant | food supply in the way of fish, whale and porpoise. Otherwise, Dr. Hrdlicka said, this ancient people—whose skulls have fea- tures which relate them both to the Indians and the Eskimos—had attained a rather advanced state of culture. " He recovered ivory representations of the human face which, he said, obviously were not merely set patterns, such as would be e from a primitive people, but represented the features of actual individuals. It was more like a_photograph gallery than a collection of magical objects. Had Paved “Sidewalks.” They also had attained a great facil- ity in splitting the hard slate abundant in the neighborhood into large slakbs with which they walled the sides of their partly subterranean houses, bullt paved “sidewalks” between houses, an in one case covered & considerable area on the beach which presumably was intended as a dance floor. Ceremonial played a considerable eir religion. Among the curiosities found was a slate coffin such as appeared much later among the In- dians of Tennessee and also, in & modi- fied form, among the Pueblos. Although now almost depopulated, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, Kodiak Island was a natural stopping place for the early Asiastic migrants on their way from Alaska south to the Pacific Coast. Even at the time of the Russian discovery, he said, the population of Aleuts was estimated at about 25000. They were { rapidly diminished by epidemics intro- duced by the white men. The fate of the carlier people is a dark mystery, Dr. Hrdlicka said. In the top levels of the village sites was found cultural and skeletal material showing close kinship to the present- day Aleuts. The earlier skeletons are all on lower levels and there is a sharp differentiation between the two. This, people were wiped out suddenly and almost completely by some great catas- trophe—perhaps a devastating epidemic or by a war which ended in a complete massacre. If there had been a gradual conquest there would have been some intermingling between the two peoples. Hot Baths Discovered. Dr. Hrdlicka found last Summer fire- places and “sweat baths” of the ancient people almost intact although buried under many tons of accummulated debris. The sweat baths were stones arranged so that they could be heated red hot. Water was poured on them to produce steam in which the men . The custom was common among the North American Indians and presumably was brought from Asia. Near the fireplaces were slate slabs and whale scapulas used as seats for the family circle gathered about the fire. Other slate slabs were found close to the fire which evidently were used as beds. Dr. Hrdlicka made an airplane sur- vey of the island in search for ancient village sites and also circumnavigated it in a boat. He found a great many of these sites, 5o that he is convinced the surface barely has been scratched. The work of excavating, which he has carrded on almost single-handed, is growing more and more laborious each year, he said, and appealed for the gift of a small tractor which could be trans- ported to Kodiak Island next Summer. At present, he said, the dirt must be moved by wheelbarrows several hun- dred feet, & job which requires more time than the actual excavating. He placed on exhibit a large number of artifacts of the anclent people recov- ered this Summer. he believes, indicates that the anclent | p; THURSDAY, School Children Aid Needy ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BRING GIFTS TO CLASS.

SCHOOL BIDS' AGTION TOMORROW 4| Commissioners to Consider Rejection of All or Trans- ferring Funds. The District Commissioners at their regular meeting tomorrow will take up the problem of whether to reject all bids for construction of an eight-room addition to the Bancroft School, New- ton near Sixteenth street, and read- vertise the contract or whether to | award the contract to the lowest bidder by alloting to the work extra money from unexpended balances on other school contracts. ‘The lowest bid, Put in by the Maas Construction Co. of Baltimore, $93,600, exceeds the amount available for the job. 'The Buy-in-Washington Council has urged that the bids be rejected and the work readvertised, because in that event the work might fi to a local dder. The next low bidder is the Northeastern Construction Co., also of Baltimore, which bid $96,130. A local contractor, Arthur L. Smith, put in the next low bid of $97,317. Under the law, the contract may be let if there is enough money saved on other school contracts in the 1933 ap- | propriation bill, but the savings must be on the basis of contracts already let. ‘Whether enough is available is not yet known, but the figures are being studied by District Auditor Daniel J. Donovan, and the action of the Commissioners will be based on his report. GAS VICTIM SUICIDE Certificate Issued in Case of Mrs. Amy Seely, 52. A certificate of suicide has been issued in the death of Mrs. Amy Seeley, 52, of 1613 Isherwood place northeast, who was asphyxiated last night in the kitchen of her home.
