@Barry Ancona similar quibble with 7D “Rowing crew captains, informally” answer COXES. I get why this would be acceptable in a crossword for the general population, but no rower would say the coxswain is the captain of the team automatically. If the crew team has a captain, they may have elected the cox as captain, but it’s not a title for them by default. COXES steer the boat and get the voice box when the team is on the water, but they are not automatically the captain of a crew team. Similar to how any other team elects their captain, who may be a leader from any position.
