It is proven — having been used to win the world championship along with the U.S. Nationals. If you are replacing your old mast or getting a new boat, make sure it is with a Cobra. Why? Because— This mast is an improvement of the aluminum masts in use on Snipes today. The section is not unlike the other popular makes — but we have used our experience of Snipe sailing to come up with some very functional and improved fittings and rigging techniques. For Instance— Special Hound fittings. No Super taper, considerably Special new spreaders.

Collections have been good, since we continue to gain new members and our somewhat fascistic approach to gathering the money in has had the desired effect. The approach, of course, is very simple. We have a mas ter sheet posted on the bulletin board at the waterfront, on which results are posted immediately after each race. Each boat has a separate line. Three columns preceed the column for the first race — one each for (a) payment of dues; (b) weighing of hull; (c) measurement of sails. Unless the appro priate officer lias checked off compliance with each of these three requirements, no credit is given for that boat's partici pation in any race. The rule has been enforced in several instances, so far, including a case in which the boat that won the first race of the season was summarily ejected from the list for non-payment of dues. As might be anticipated, this has had a very healthy effect upon overall compliance with the class requirements.

  • Abby Hoffman's Entry Into the World of Competitive Sports Came at the Age of Nine
    ALUMNI PROFILE WHO IS ABBY HOFFMAN? Abby Hoffman's entry into the world of competitive sports came at the age of nine. Cutting her hair made it possible for her to join a boys' hockey team as Ab in 1956. Her team did so well that they made it to the playoffs where players were required to produce their birth certificates. When it was discovered that Ab was really Abigail, the league was outraged. This was to be her first experience of the limitations placed on females who want to participate in sports. While her team was pleased to have her, Abby gave up organized hockey after her team lost. She then tried other sports including swimming before she found her place in track and field. The 800-metre event became her specialty as a middle-distance runner and from the age of 14, she competed in track events including four Olympic Games in 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976. The 1976 Games, where she was chosen flag bearer for the Canadian team, proved to be her last competitive run. Hoffman competed in the 880-yard event at the 1962 and 1966 Commonwealth Games. She won a gold medal in 1966. Also a competitor at the World Student Games and the Maccabiah Games, she won gold for the 800-metre race at the 1971 Pan American Games as well as bronze for the 1967 and 1975 Games, for the 800-metre and the 1500-metre distances. The early resistance from hockey officials was not to be the last time Abby Hoffman encountered opposition in her sports career.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
