MONAHANMEN WIN
 FROM MANCHESTER
Bristol High Leads Throughout
 and Captures Fifth Game
Special to inc HaraIdl

i Bristol, Jan. 4-The Bristol High school basketball team carved out it's fifth win of the current season at the local gym last night by d score of 35 10 22, the South Man chester High team being the victim of the strong Bell City attack. Not one of the teams which have play cd on the local floor this season has been able 10 solve "Tommy" Monahan's zone defense, save for the potent alumni squad, which used the scheme in years before.
 The Bristol boys started off rather slowly in the initial period but wound up the semester like WhirlWinds. The score read 1 all for several minutes after Louie La Pontc, Bristol left forward, and OLcary. visiting right forward had dropped successful free tries through the hoop, but Ben AIaire tossed a Wo-pointc,, Eddie White followed with another, and the for mer came through again with an other double-deckcr to make the score read to in favor of the home club. The score at the quar- ter mark showed Bristol in the lead by a six point margin, and it was by nine at the half. The tilt was all Bristol after the halfway mark and the visitors threatened only once when they crept up to within six points of the local score near the three quarter mark. The local quin- let never let Up during the contest but continued to plug" along.
 Ben Allaire. who tailed five field goals and foul pop for 1 points,
 looked best for the Bristol contin- gent, and Smith. South Manchester left forward, with d total of nine markers, showed up best for the visiting clan. The work of Eddie White, the main cog of the local machinery. was outstanding as it has been in the past. Although not high scorer, Whites accurate passes frequently led 10 scores and his pivot play was remarkable. Eddie is the captain of Bristo! Highs forces this year The other three men, Louie Lapontc. Tom my Lincoln and "Dikcs" Hall. and the three substitutes who partici- pated Tn last nights game, Louie Albert clli, Gurske and "Andy' Pa lau. did fine work. Palau shot two through the net during the short time that he played,

 In the preliminary game last night the Bristol High school sec ends whipped the South Manchester subs by a 4 to 16 score. Coach" Tommy Monahan used . men in the contest and did not receive any con- petition until the fourth stringers were pressed into service.
 The South Manchester rootors came here completely equipped with a classy S0piece band. all logged out in white pants. shirts. and red capes and trimming. There Were several cheer leaders with them and q large number ot rooters

 The trawler Sat had it's Grapplihg hook fastened in the wreckage. while coast guard, naval and privately owned vessels were to aid in at tcmpts 10 raise the planes 10 the surface.
 Discovered By Boats
 The WrcckaGe was discovered yes t"rday by the barge tender Daisy NJ of Rcdondo beach, and the speed boat Diana from Venice, which were dragging the Pacific ocean bottom two miles ofshoro. Navy airplanes flew over the scene of the disaster and nearer shore a huge fleet Of small craft criss-crosscd with drag ein- hooks.
 The Daisy NJ. first struck the Nrcckaec and signallod 10 the oth- CT craft after her hook had been hauled in and was found to show traces of rcd paint, the color of the arplancs. Later an airplanc wheel and strut were raised. The planes. which fell $500 feet in flames were found loo feet apart on the ocean bottom.
 They are believed to contain the bodies Of Kenneth Hawks. film director. Ross Clark and 1allock Rouse, pilots: George Eastman. Ot. 10 Jordan.

The bodies of Max Gold, assistant direc- tor and Ben l'rankcl and Conrad Wells. camcramcn. were recovered soon after the tragedy had ended an effort to picture t thrilling se- qucncC in q film story based on the disappearance of Captain Alfred l.owcnstcin, Belgian flnancicr from plane over the English Channel in 1928.

Ready for any emergency in the

Sir Henri let it be known that

Structive measure to remedy the
