Yale won their heats in the semi-fnals
of the 400 meters with the English
champion, Halswell, their only OPP
ponent, for the final. Halswell's feat
in lowering the Olympic record was
easily one of the most brilliant per-
fornances of the day. He covered the
distance in 48 2-5 seconds, breaking
Harry Hillman's record of 40 1-5 Sec

meters and will oppose Kerr of Canada
and Hawkins of the United Kingdom
in the finals. The public is backing
the Canadian to win. All of the heats
in this event resulted in close finishes.
w. F. Hamilton, Chicago A. A, gave
the spectators thought he had won
until they heard the official announce
ment. Cloughen beat George, who was
England's chief hope, while Hawkins,
in a heat in which no Americans were
entered, shut out Roche, another Brit
ish favorite.
A sensation occurred during the high
diving. Cane, England's representa-
tive, struck the water heavily and
failed to come to the surface. A by
stander plunged into the tank and
brought Cane ashore. The Englishman,
however, suffered no more serious In
jury than a temporary loss Of wind.
The Olympic managers rendered their
official thanks to the rescuer, whose
name Is Johaansen, and who is the
holder of King Edwards cup for life
saving.
Soon after this the German, Nicola.
finished a double somersault from the
high tower by striking the water at
full length like a sandbag. An Ameri-
can. N. G. Grote of the Missouri A. c.,
promptly dived after him, but the Ger
man, who came up almost Immediate
ly, rejected the offer of rescue and
swan ashore unaided.
