Wearing a 225-lb. suit and helmet. Diver Jack Coghlan, 25, slipped through a hole in the 14-in ice and out of sight in Port Arthur harbor last week. On bottom at 25 ft., he pushed through waist-deep silt to a wall of sheet-metal piling. In 39° water he carefully passed his rubber-gloved hands over the foundation, reporting what he felt and what little he could see into a telephone linked with the surface, and thought to himself, "Life could hardly be rosier these days...
...days last week, he was underwater for an hour morning and afternoon on the elevator job. "To break the monotony," he passed up the sure-thing $150-a-day fee on two of those days to look for - and find - a 1,800-lb. anchor lost by the government ice breaker Alexander Henry last fall. That treasure made his Superior Diving & Salvaging Co. $650 richer...
Booked Up. Coghlan, who currently lives with his 19-year-old wife and infant daughter in a house trailer parked on the Port Arthur harbor ice, was overdue for some luck. Last summer a sudden Lake Superior gale swallowed Superior's 60-ft. barge, with equipment worth $20,000. Coghlan, fished out after five minutes in the lake, had no applicable insurance, was left with little equipment and $8,000 in debts. Steady elevator-inspection work now has the debts "under control," and Coghlan has bookings for $50,000 more of the same this year. But he yearns...
Stitches to Show. Attacking in the opening minutes, the bull-necked right wing skated full tilt into the goalie's cage, sprawled dazed on the ice with a 1½-in. gash over his right eye. But before the period was done, the Detroit Red Wings' Gordie Howe, 31, was back in action, went on to score an assist and a goal in his team's 3-0 victory over Chicago. The performance gave Howe the 947th point of his 14-year career to break by one point the alltime National Hockey League record of Montreal...
Tufts' hopes for a Cinderella performance tonight lie in remembrance of its near upset of Brown and in the fact that the usual disadvantage of unfamiliarity with the ice for visitors will not confront the Jumbos. In addition to lacking depth and a victory, the Jumbos are homeless and use Watson for their infrequent practice sessions...
