Upperclass coxswains are plentiful this year, both E. L. Belisle '31, first string steersman and former Olympic four-oar cox, and F. S. Holmes '31, jayvee cox, being available. Other promising candidates are A. H. Stebbins '32, L. E. Becker '32, L. L. Wadsworth '30, and Crispin Cooke '32. First-year coxes are also plentiful

Though never a fancy skater or ski jumper, His Holiness was once an intrepid bobsledder and a skilled toboggan steersman. The present twelvemonth, 1929, is his "Jubilee year"-the 50th since he first celebrated Mass-and therefore devout Catholics hoped, last week, that by next Christmas the "Prisoner of the Vatican" will be released and restored to an athletic life...
