Huge Saber-Tooth Tiger Lured
To Death in Asphalt Is Story
Told by Local Mounted Specimen
By MERLIN BLAIS
A great elephant floundered to
its death in a reeking, sticky pool
of asphalt, and its dea dcarcass
lay gleaming white in the black
mass. A ranging saber-tooth ti
ger approached the body, then
leaped upon it, and commenced
feeding on its flesh. The elephant
slowly sank deeper into the as
phalt, the long-toothed cat not
noticing the death closing in about
it also. The tiger leaped toward
the firm edge of the pool, but
slid back into the black half
liquid.
This is the story the skele
ton of a saber-toothed tiger which
has just been mounted in the geol
ogy department tells. The great
carnivore is' six feet in length, and
over three feet in height, and it
has two saber-teeth over six inch
es in length protruding downward
from the massive upper jaw.| The
bones are typical of the cat, tend
ing more toward those of the lion
rather than the tiger, for the ti
ger slinks along the ground in the
jungle, and the lion trots swiftly
about in the grass of the tropical
prairies.
The bones of the tiger were
taken from the asphalt deposit at
Rancho La Brea, near Los Ange
les, has been preserved in almost
perfect condition in the asphal
turn. This pool which was but an
acre in size has been the most
prolific region in the world in the
yielding of specimens of ancient
mammals. Many thousands of
specimens of horses, wolves, cam
els, lions, saber-tooth tigers, ele
phants, and of carnivorous birds,
including owls, eagles, and even
a peacock.
The skeleton was presented the
University three years ago by Dr.
Chester Stock, then instructor in
vertebrate paleontology at. the |
University of California, and now
at the California Institute of Tech
nology. It belongs to the species
of smilodon californiaus, which re
ceived its name from Dean John
F. Bovard, of the physical educa
tion department. Dean Bovard
was a student in paleontology at
the University of California when
the deposit was first dug into in
1902. He made a study of the sa
ber-tooth tiger found in the as
phalt pool, and after comparing it
with species found in South Amer
ica, he placed in the same genus,
smilodon, but distinguished it
from the others with the species
title californicus. Although simi
lar tigers have been dug up in
Oregon none of them have reach
ed the great size of the californi
cus, which in some instances, de
veloped teeth 13 inches in length.
Sam Itzikowitz, senior in biol
ogy. mounted the local specimen.
Although his experience in mount
ing has been limited to members
of the feline world, he has done a
neat and accurate piece of work
with the tiger, Dr. Packard, of the
geology department, said yester
day.

Norblad Visits Over Week-End
Governor Makes Short Call on Campus
Editor’s Note: This is the second of a series of articles writ

Oregon. The material printed attempts in no way to establish
an editorial policy for the Emerald.
By BOB ALLEN H
“Hats off to the past. . . . Coats
off to the future!” That’s the
slogan Governor A. W. Norblad is
using in his campaign for Repub
lican nomination for governor in
the May primaries.
And well it fits him, too. Be
lieve me, when you have to give
up a good Sunday morning’s sleep
to interview a man, and even then,
when he is so rushed that a few
minutes is all he can spare, you
know he’s got his coat off for
something. And it’s not because
he didn’t need the sleep, either.
Saturday he attended almost a
dozen dedications, Anyway, he
reeled off a list as long as he is
tall, of things that he had done
the day before, and they were a
lot worse than just going to a
Saturday 8 o’clock, doing a few
house duties, and maybe taking in
a dance in the evening. Yes, sir,
he has his coat off.
He’s a nice-looking man; some

had a most far-reaching effect on
this institution. The priceless
Murray Warner collection, brought
together by Mrs. Gertrde Bass
