Gus Sonnenberg Dies Gus Sonnenberg '20, the Dartmouth Ail-American tackle and noted wrestler, died at the Bethesda Naval Hospital on September 12 of leukemia. He had been there for eight months following service as a Navy Chief Specialist at Great Lakes, 111., and Bainbridge, Md. Called by sports experts "the revolutionizer" of modern wrestling, Sonnenberg introduced the "flying tackle" into the sport and was one of its biggest drawing cards. He won the title of world heavyweight champion when he defeated Ed "Strangler" Lewis in 1929 and kept it until 1931. Sonnenberg entered the Navy in 1942. He attended Dartmouth from 1916 to 1917 and 1919 to 1921 and later went to the University of Detroit where he played on the football team. He also attended the Northern State Normal School of Michigan, 1917 to 1918.

Ensign Mathes Missing Ensign James M. Mathes Jr. '39, acting class treasurer and one of Dartmouth's prominent young alumni, was reported missing in action, as of August 9, olf the Isle of Jersey where he was serving on a PT boat. Although wreckage of his boat and the bodies of two crew members were found, other members of the crew have been reported prisoners of war, and strong hope exists that Ensign Mathes was not lost. The son of James M. Mathes 'll, Ensign Mathes was president of both I'alaeopitus and Green Key during his undergraduate years at Dartmouth. Following graduation he was associated with his father's New York adverting firm. He enlisted in the Naval Reserve in Januaiy 1943. was indoctrinated at Fort Schuyler, and underwent PT training in Rhode Island. His wife is the former Mary C. Chapman of I'landome, N. Y.
