Webster N. Jones '42 and Karl J. Sax '40, the two skiers who nearly lost their lives last weekend in a Mount Washington blizzard, were today well on the read to recovery, although there is still the possibility that Jones will lose one or two toes.
Sax, who descended the mountain Saturday, is in Stillman Infirmary, while Jones is still in a Littleton hospital. The latter was lost for some 80 hours in a sub-zero gale and is badly frostbitten but in excellent spirits.
President Conant called the Sophomore's father, who is dean of Carnegie Tech. on Sunday; and Dean Hanford has been in constant touch with the elder Jones and earlier with the rescue work.
