NOTES

Local athletics have been enlivened here for the oast several weeks by the first of a series of seven athletic track carnivals which the track department has been staging in Alumni Gymnasium. So far 1920 has won two of the meets, and 1921 one. The meets have been diversified by an occasional fencing or wrestling match, and boxing matches. Tug-of-wars, too, have provided interest. The meets have been handicap affairs, but several men have distinguished themselves, particularly McGoughran, 1920, who, running from scratch, has twice managed to win the mile.

The freshman basketball tea'm, not to be intimidated by the record of the varsity, succeeded in winning every game of the season. The games succeeded in developing some decidedly good material. Bolles, the captain- of the team, put up a strong game at forward, proving an exceptionally good floor man. Cole, the other forward, was a big scorer. At center either Beers or Sample was a strong player. Both Schulting and Prince were strong men, the former establishing a remarkable scoring record. The team had little or no coaching, and in their victories over such schools as Goddard and Dean, showed itself an effective machine.

Freshman elections for the second semester resulted in the choice of O. H. Hicks, president; G. B. Harris, Jr., vice-president; F. A. Ross, Jr., secretary; R. W. Elsasser, treasurer; J. W. Hubbell, representative to the College Club. Over 200 votes were cast. Harris, Ross, and Elsasser held the same offices last semester.

In one of the closest matches ever held with Harvard, the Dartmouth rifle team was defeated on February 29 by a score of 568 to 549. B. Helmer '21 was the individual star for the Green with 98 points scored out of a possible 100. He was followed by R. R. Wells '21 with 93 points to his credit.

With a record of eight consecutive victories and no defeats, Phi Sigma Kappa won the cup this year for the highest standing in the inter-fraternity basketball league. Its team was greatly aided by the play of Rau, who was to have captained the varsity team had he not been in Thayer School. Kappa Kappa Kappa, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon won seven games of their eight.

As a result of sophomore balloting the following officers were elected as officers of that class for this semester: R. C. Southwick, president; A. W. Stockdale, vice-president; W. S. Gault, secretary; N. B. Richardson, treasurer; R. G. Phillips, College Club.

Junior class officers recently elected were J. H. Murphy, president; J. Ross, vice-president; H. C. Avery, secretary; R. A. Clark, treasurer.

For the carrying through of the 1922 Green Book next year, N. W. Barker '21 has been elected editor-in-chief, T. C. Norcross '2l as business manager, and F. L. Livermore '21 and K. L. Slater '21 as circulation managers.

Twenty-six men accepted invitations which were extended by Dartmouth's three senior societies at midnight February 28. Sphinx: J. C. Davis, C. O. Gale, R. R. Larmon, W. H. McCarter, F. H. McCrea, E. E. Martin, J. H. Murphy, J. Ross, W. W. White, Jr., 1919; Casque and Gauntlet: W. W. S. Alderman, C. F. Caswell, R. A. Clark, C. W. Collins, P. A. Grey, C. M. Sears, Jr., 1919; Dragon: C. T. McCarthy, 1918, J. C. Cavanaugh, -J. E. Colwell, Jr., J. R. Eisman, Jr., D. F. Featherston, Jr., R. A. Hayes, D. M. McMahon, J. L. Murphy, J. M. Murray, N. K. Pearce, A. F. Wylde, 1919.

For the Brown debate, scheduled for March 22, Dartmouth's debaters are now busily practising. The affirmative men at present are J. E. McDonough '18, H. L. Childs '19, R. L. Hayes '20, and F. G. Moulton '20; the negative, M. F. Weston '18, M. E. Bernkopf '20. S. S. Stratton '20, and D. T. Eaton '2l. Only four of these men will make the trip to Providence, in all probability the four men now on the affirmative team.

The final outdoor meet of. the Outing Club was held on the Golf Links February 22. Forty men competed, but the intercollegiate element failed to materialize to any considerable extent, Middlebury alone succeeding in taking two third places.

W. P. Fowler, Jr. '21, winner of the silver cup in the preliminary meets, was the individual star, chalking up first places in the snowshoe cross-country race and the snowshoe dash, with C. W. Tucker '2O following him in both races. Third places in these events were captured by Middlebury, the only college beside Dartmouth to enter a team. S. M. Frederiksen '21 was the victor in the ski cross-country race, which was run off just before the snowshoe race over the same course. He led T. H. Griffith '21 by about 20 yards at the finish, and was second among the individual scorers with eight points.

The ski proficiency contest was won by S. A. Densmore '21, with Frederiksen taking second place. The contestants were judged on their ability in executing right and left Tellemark and Christiana turns, the letter S, and their skill in snow ploughing and ski skating. The icy condition of the surface of the snow hindered the contestants and many falls resulted. The ski jump was postponed on account of the condition of the landing.

A feature of the meet was the interclass relay in which each man did 200 yards. The class of 1921 led the way at the start but along about the middle of the race the juniors rushed to the front, where they remained until the fin: ish, although Griffith made a game attempt to overtake McCrillis. The final event was a relay race between Dartmouth and Middlebury, and was easily won by the Green quartet.

H. P. Hood 2d was elected president, W. H. Bemis vice-president, H. B. Doty secretary, and A. N. Blandin treasurer in the senior elections held the middle of this month. All of these men held the same offices last semester. T. V. Lehman was chosen marshal and A. A. Lucier was elected floor director of the Commencement ball, with J. W. Jordan assistant director. According to the constitution passed at the last class meeting, the four executive officers, president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, will hold office only until the three-year reunion, when permanent officers of the class will be chosen.

S. S. Stratton '20 won the Lockwood prize and C. E. Newton '20 the 1886 prize in the annual contests held recently. Eight men entered the contests. The Lockwood prize was based on "America and the World War," while "The Colleges and the War" was the topic of the other competition.

The College Club in the past few months has been the instrument of presenting several rather remarkable lecturers in Hanover. H. J. Hadfield, Willard Scott and Captain A. R. Dugmore are among those heard in College Hall in the past four weeks. Mr. Hadfield gave Shakespearian readings, Mr. Scott presented a humorous-philosophical talk, and Captain Dugmore spoke of his experience in the war. Beside these lectures, Hanover audiences were treated to recitals by Heinrich Gebhard and Raymond Havens, the latter coming to Hanover for his sixth recital here.
