Divers worked seven and half

40 men were entombed and died.
With three chains already attach

The divers were working under

in raising the submarine, the oper-

Although this detail has not been
checked as yet. it is believed that
another pet dog was killed by the
railroad train, since neighhor saw
him driving the machine a half hour
before the fatality and Friend had
his dog In the car at the time.
Following the incident of May ?,
1927, Friend was placed under ar
rest. The local authorities regarded
the case as one for Newington juris-
diction and he went to that town for
trial. but was later brought back
here. His mental condition was the
subject of some investigation by the
police, and as result he was sent
to the state farm. On August l.
1927. he was again in court on
forgery charge and was bound over
to superior court.

knew the victim only by the name OF

solicitation took him into his en-

according to the story he told the
police, and he was not aware of this
fact until. after he was unable to
locate the youth in the house, he
went outside to drive off.

was registered in the name of No
vesett they located him and learned
that Frank" had taken the ma

Harper to the house on Thornley,
street, but there was no one at
home. From a neighbor. John Ia

OF in the machine with his dog at
about l O'Clock. Friends father was
reached at the Stanley Rule & Level
plant and informed of the happen

Friend was driving the car in a
northerly direction and when he
realized the train was approaching
attempted to swerve away from the
tracks. In so doing, he collided with
two posts. sending the machine reel

Holland With Combination Leap Hopes for One Olympic w

final is years ago was one of the great
est distance races ever run. Bouin, who
has a stadium named after him in
Paris now, set the pace most of the
way and fought off Kolehmainen's
challenges right down to the stretch.
with only 20 meters left" runs the
official story, 1.-The Finlander pressed
up abreast of Bouin, who now, pos
sibly involuntarily because of the un-
heard-of strain of the race, pressed
Kolehmainen out to the righthand side
of the track while. at the same time,
he did his very utmost to hold his own
against his rival. But Kolehmainen,
with stubborn energy, gained decimeter
after decimeter and, just on the very
winning post, flung himself before
Bouin and in this manner won the most
interesting. the severest and finest long
distance race that has probably ever
been witnessed" Kolehmainen's mar
Gin in time was only one-tenth of a
second.
Another Frenchman, Josef Guillemot.
broke the Finnish streak in 1920 by
beating Nurmi, then only l8 years old,
in the 5.000-meter race at Antwerp
and handing Paavo his only Olympic
setback. Nurmi got revenge on Guile
mot in the 10000-meter race. In 1924
Paavo broke the Olympic record in the
5000, but stayed out Of the 10000
meter event. which went to Willie
Ritola in record-smashing fashion.
Second Best for U. S.
Second place is the best an American
has ever gained in either OF these
races. Lewis Tewanima, the indian.
was runner-up to Kolehmainen in the
10, 900 meter race in 1912. In the 5000
meters the same year George Bonhag
was fourth and Tel Berna fifth. Since
then the only American point winner
in either event was Johnny Romig, the
former Penn State runner. who was
fourth to Nurmi in the 5000 four years
ago. Not single Yankee placed In
either race in 1920.
The outlook is brighter but not SEN
sational this year. Lermond, rugged
youngster. should give a good account
of himself at 5000 meters. In the
longer race his Boston ciubmate. Rob-
ert Dairymple, is nominated as our best
bet by Jack Ryder, his coach. Joie
Ray has his heart set now on doing
the marathon. but If his feet cannot
stand that route Joie may turn to either
the 5000 or 10000 with a good chance
of doing something. Among the coll
lege men Bill Cox of Penn State and
Dave Abbott of Illinois are good pros
poets at 5000 meters.
