Find of Sea Lion Skulls Told by Anthropologists California Crew Whips Huskies Oakland, Calif. (U.R) The University of California crew handed the University of Wash ington a thumping four-length defeat Saturday on the Oakland estuary in a race which usually decides the United States' Olym pics representative. California, understroking the Huskies all the way, took the lead after the first 100 yards and sped over the three-mile course in 14:48.3. Washington was timed at 15:05.6. America's 9,000 bituminous coal mines produced 535 million tons in 1951. CCAA Abolishes Training Table Los Angeles (U,R) The California collegiate athletic as sociation voted Saturday to ab olish the athletic training table and athletic subsidies "in a con tinuation of a move to reorgan ize the conference sports pro gram." The five school conference voted to limit such practices as they "are available to all stu dents." At an earlier meeting the CCAC abolished football spring training. In other action the conference approved a proposal to hold an annual pre-season basketball tournament with the 1952 meet slated tentatively for December in Los Angeles. 'Case of the Thousand Skulls' might be the whodunit-style title of a report published by Univer city of California anthropologists dealing with a prehistoric Yurok ceremonial site in northwestern California. The report written by Dr. Robert F. Heizer, associate pro fessor of anthropology on the Berkeley campus, recounts the discovery of a mysterious co lection of hundreds of skulls of sea lions on a tiny island off the coast. A curious aspect of the find was that the skulls were per forated, having either one or two holes in the brain case from two to three inches in diameter. The skulls, estimated to be a thousand or more in number, were imbedded in the thin layer of soil, 18 inches deep, covering the west slope of the island. Brought by Indians Because no sea lion bones, mandibles, or vertebrae were found on the island it is clear, skulls alone were brought there by the Indians. The anthropologist said that the rock island, which was reached by means of a rubber raft, was "not an occupation of the site, and seemed to have per- ved solely as a depository for sea lion craniums. Records of the ritual disposal of game animal bones among the northerly tribes support the theory that the skulls must have had some ceremonial signifi cance, Heizer said. Such- customs, he said, were to prevent dogs from gnawing the bones and "thus angering the spirit of the animal so that the hunter will have no success in later hunts." Openings Puzzling Heizer pointed out that the openings found in the sea lion skulls are puzzling. The practice has been recorded in connection with other animals, "but since the purpose of the opening of the brain case of these various an imals is uncertain, we should perhaps admit several possible explanations such as removal of brains for food or hide dress ing, or the ritual of opening of the skull without brain removal." Understanding Of Causes of War Claimed Necessary Portland, Ore. (U.R) Ma). Gen. Alfred H. Noble, Marine commander of the Department of the Pacific, told a Portland Armed Forces Day audience Saturday that "unless we have a clear understanding of the basic causes of war and abolish these causes, it is doubtful if we will ever do away with war it self." Gen. Noble described the ef fectiveness of the U.N. to pre vent war as "unsure, as it is severely handicapped by restric tions." But he added that "we must support the U.N. It is our ony tangible hope for peace ma chinery." Gen. Noble was the leading figure in the Armed Forces Day celebration Saturday. He also re viewed the military parade in downtown Portland in the after noon. Four Causes Listed The general listed four causei of war which must be removed, he said, before peace is assured: 1. Greed and lust for power by a few Individuals. 2. The "cyclic" emotional de mand for war by two large groups in every nation. He said the two groups were those too old to fight and youths who have never fought but who feel impelled to show off untried courage. 3. The struggle for real estate between the haves and the have nots. 4. The natural low of self-defense or fancied self defense. Use Mail Tribune Want Adi Why Do Without That Modern Kitchen?
