With four days' growth of beard. Skin-diver Art Pinder-so muscular that he looks like two small whales, back to back-jumps into a fathom and a half at Florida's Silver Springs. He shows how an enemy shave cream is useless under these conditions, then lathers up with Mennen Sof' Stroke, which sticks like biscuit dough while he mows the beard. A flavorsome little tuna named Judy Scott then swims into his arms...
...disappointment to find TIME presenting the same aged and tattered stereotype of commercial diving and divers [Jan. 25]. This is no reflection on Jack Coghlan. Long may his air flow sweet!

That treasure made...
...most striking Crimson deficiency is swimming without Bruce Hunter and diving without Frank Gorman. The latter, the best diver in the East, would undoubtedly take first, but cannot com- pete until second semester. Hunter is also ineligible, but is expected to return next term; could he swim, the Crimson would have great strength in the freestyle sprints...
