WINTER CARNIVAL
March 1920

More than 300 guests were in attendance at the Dartmouth Outing Club's ninth annual Winter Carnival, held February 13-15 in spite of snow bound trains and "flu" quarantines at various women's colleges. All fraternities but two held house parties and the whole original program of events was carried out in detail. Competition on hand from Williams, McGill, Vermont, Middlebury, and the Montreal Ski Club in addition to the Dartmouth performers.

The indoor events were ushered in Thursday night with the presentation of the Curtis-Ripley revue, "Chasin Around", a snappy musical comedy containing numerous song hits. The theme of the play hangs on the journey of a representative of the Gehenna Gazette from the office in Hades to the Golden Gate, with stops in Boston, Hanover, New York, and other points. Fleming, Frost, Embree, and Bird, all headliners in former Dramatic Association productions, were again the stars, while the jazz band and the new syncopated saxophone trio provided special features.

The Carnival Ball came Friday night and the indoor events were brought to a close Saturday with the Penn basketball game and musical clubs concert. Penn defeated the varsity in the second league contest on the home floor winning easily by a 41-44 score.

The Dartmouth entries ran true to form in the Outing Club specialties, the ski and snowshoe events, piling up a total of 36 points in the two days' contests to 19 for Vermont, the nearest contender. Dartmouth won the intercollegiate ski relay and took all points in ski jumping, with Bache-Wiig, Bowler, and Carleton finishing in the order named. The Dartmouth Club of Boston took the Carnival hockey game from the varsity septet, 4-2.
