...reported to his new home, U.S.S. Trigger (SS 237). Thought young Beach: "Wonder if I'm looking at my coffin?" Trigger did become a coffin for 89 men and officers in March 1944, but by then, Lieut. Beach had been transferred to another sub. He lived through twelve longdistance war patrols, wound up as skipper of his own sub, today commands the new U.S.S. Trigger.

Timpson, playing second man against Amherst's Ed Bruning, rounded the turn on to the back nine with a one-under-par 35 on the difficult front side of the hilly, wooded Dedham course. He was even par on the back nine, and apparently had the year's only sub par round in the bag when a bad iron shot from the tee on the long par three 17th cost him two strokes and gave him a one-over-par 71 for the round. He beat Bruning...
