1921 CARNIVAL EXPECTED TO BREAK ALL RECORDS

In spite of the mild winter in the north this year and the lack of sufficient snow for ski and snowshoe practice, all signs point to a Winter Carnival that will break previous records in numbers of guests and quality of entertainments. All rooms at the Hanover Inn have been reserved for the festival period since early in November, Massachusetts Hall has likewise been reserved and all rooms allotted, and there are few vacant rooms to be found in private houses in town.

The plans announced by the committee in charge of the affair show that an effort is being made to make the Carnival's social side of a more rugged character than usual, the first event on the program being an outdoor evening at the hockey rink on Alumni Oval. The rink will be lighted by spotlights and exhibition skating contests, tugs of war, and other features will be staged for the benefit of the guests who will march to the scene of action headed by the band. Fireworks and a huge bonfire will form a part of the celebration on the Oval. Following this entertainment the Dartmouth Players will produce "Rise, Please," a musical comedy by Clifford-B. Orr '22, and H. G. Ripley '21.

Friday, February 11, will be taken up by the usual Carnival ski and snowshoe races in the afternoon, and the Carnival Ball at night. In addition the Dartmouth and Har vard swimming teams will hold forth in the new Spaulding Swimming Pool. Thus far the Outing Club's ski and snowshoe experts have had little opportunity to work out in preparation for the contests in which they are expected to take part. The ski jump has been almost bare for the greater part of the winter, and all the nearby hills have been skiied green. However, the prospective contestants philosophically await the coming of more wintry weather and assert that they need but little conditioning.

The festivities will conclude Saturday, February 12, with the ski jumping exhibition, a hockey game with Yale, a basketball game with Harvard, and the usual concert of the combined musical clubs. Such (attractions as Harvard and Yale contests are high lights in any winter program and should provide ample excitement for the sporting clan.

Already a number of moving picture photographers and newspaper representatives have signified their intention of being on hand through the Carnival so that the winter life of the College will gain further advertisement.
