So he sent home for his flute. And
for q while after the arrival Of the

Soon thereafter his efforts were re-

In desperation, I used to take that
terrible flute apart and hide the var

his ingenuity was enough for the test,

Our condition was well expressed
by Rock one day when we met after
we had both gone our way.

AS his close friend Of college days
I listened often to Rocks ambitions
and hopes. First I remember wildly
his oft-expressed idea that at the end
Of his pharmacy course he would get
q good break so that some day he
would be q druggist with q nice little
drugstore Of his own.
After that his horizon broadened,
he now wanted to be a professor Of
chemistry. He therefore changed his
course to pharmaceutical chemistry
and achieved this ambition. He con-
tinued teaching chemistry for sew
eral years after taking the Job as
football coach.
His objective again changed during
his student days and his latest am
bition was to be q chemist. In my
later conversations with him after he
had achieved fame as . football
coach I formed the idea he still had
q secret hope some day he might YET
go back to that which was at one time
his greatest interest-chemistry.
At no time did I ever hear old Rocl
voice q desire to be an athletic IN

He Never Had Enjoyed

Wahpeton, N. D., April 2.-R-De-
sire to own an airplane prompted him
to extort $25, 900 from a local banker,
Gordon Bjornson said in district
court Wednesday as he was senten-
ced to serve five years in tho state
p~enitentiary.
Appearing before Judge George A.
McKenna after pleading guilty Tues
day, Bjornson, % years old, was given
until April II to take care Of personal
affairs. He was remanded to the Rich
land county jail. and on April IL will
be taken to the prison at Bismarck.
Bjornson said he will attempt to
repay o. A. Leach, from whom he
said he obtained the money last May
after threatening harm to Mrs
Leach, and give him whatever prop
erty he now has.
Judge McKenna. in passing SEN
tence, bemoaned what he termed the
current crime wave among youths Of
'4your age"-addressing his remarks
to Bjornson. II hope that in your
case the youths Of this community
will find an example to deter them
from crime" Judge McKenna said.
1T is very difficult to understand
the plight in which 30 many young
mel find themselves. The stain o.
crime is so far-reaching that 1t takes
generations to wipe out"
Answering Judge McKenna's ques'
lions, Bjornson denied anyone aided
him In commission of the crime.
Bjornson said he didn't know VIII;
or what inspired him to ex*ort thu
money from the white haired "a.

FRIEND GR|LLED
IN RA|SBECK DEATH
Former Yale Art Student
Gives Westport Police
Authors Background.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WESTPORT, Conn, October 3-Po-
lice oficials were closeted with Henry
B. Wibbels, former Yale art student
until early today seeking information
which might help to explain the death
Of his friend, Kenneth Raisbeck, play
wright and author.
WibbelS came here voluntarily last
night from Cambridge, Mass, after he
had been informed that police desired
to question him concerning Raisbeck's
activities.
Questioned on Friends.
Police expressed the opinion after
several hours of questioning that Wib-
bells knew nothing Of the actual cir
cumstanceS surrounding the play
wright's death. They questioned him
concerning RaiSbeck's friends, however
In the hope he might aid in determin-
Ing who was with Raisbeck last Tues
day night, the night before the latter's
body was found in Christ Church
Cemetery.
Witnesses have told police they saw
Raisbeck near the cemetery in company
Of another man Tuesday. Wibbels said
Raisbeck had few friends He told DO
lice he last saw him In Harvard, Mass,
Tuesday morning, when Raisbeck left
that town to drive to New York.
Foul Play Doubted.
George Green Of Ashland, Mass,
cousin Of RsiSbeck, was convinced, he
said last night, that his cousins death
was due to natural causes Previously
Green had expressed dissatisfaction
with an opinion by Or. William H. Nc
Mahon, medical examiner, following an
autopsy, that Raisbeck died of acute
meningitis.
Because Of bruises found on the
throat and indications that the body
might have been dragged into the GEM
etery, Westport police have been re-
luctant to accept this finding. Thus
far they have conducted their inquiry
on the assumption that he was slain.
Wibbels and Raisbeck lived together
here from last October to June and
spent the Summer together at Harvard,
Mass.

should stimulate further travel between

OF great Importance also are the
