PERKINS SMASHES SKI RECORD FROM MOOSE MT. TO HANOVER

Recently the record for the seven and one-half mile trail from Moose cabin to Hanover was completely smashed. J. S. Perkins '22 was the first man in from Moose making the severe grind in 56 minutes and 30 seconds. Three minutes later the second man, H. H. Bishop '23, appeared, having covered the distance in exactly one hour. The record of 1 hour 10 minutes was formerly held by S. M. Fredericksen '21, who won the race in 1918. This is the first of three races which are regularly held every year between Moose Cabin and Hanover. Thirty men were entered in the contest this year.

The trip out to the cabin was made Saturday, the hikers being accompanied by J. H. Hawkinson, representative of the "Sport Pictorial," a film magazine of a New York moving picture concern. Mr. Hawkinson came to Hanover Friday to take winter sport pictures for his company. On the trip to the cabin pictures were taken of the men skiing cross-country, going over rough trails, and taking spills on the hills along the way. Some fine effects were made of the skiers silhouetted against the sun.

After a roast pig supper donated by Dr. Johnson '66, interior scenes of the cabin and the men were taken. Sunday Mr. Hawkinson shot a few scenes of wood-chopping, of the trail, and the race to Hanover.
