FIVE COLLEGES FORM INTERCOLLEGIATE SKI ASSOCIATION

Following several informal meetings with various representatives of the teams entered in the Carnival meet definite steps are being taken for the organization of an Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association to include as a nucleus Dartmouth, McGill, Middlebury, Vermont, and Williams.

The purposes of the association as set forth in a tentative constitution which has been drawn up and which will probably be presented for adoption to the teams are to create and foster interest in intercollegiate ski jumping and ski running. In addition, it is hoped that the association may be able to standardize the rules so that all meets may be conducted on a definite point basis and also that the races may be run off according to a set standard as to length and conditions.

Another plan which the association will probably take up will be the taking over the supervision of one winter tournament each year, to be held wherever the directors may decide. In all probability the first one or two yearly meets may be held at Dartmouth, but in the future they will also be held at the other colleges where snow conditions are favorable. Such a scheme would in no way interfere with the annual Dartmouth Carnival, which would be run similar to past years with the exception of the fact that on alternate years the association tournament would not coincide with the Dartmouth Carnival.
