PROCTOR '28 WINS SKI CHAMPIONSHIP OF CANADA
APRIL, 1927

C. N. Proctor '28, Captain of the Dartmouth ski team, won the amateur ski championship of Canada as a result of his performances in the ski jumping and the ten-mile cross-country ski race in the Canadian Championships held at Montreal February 25 and 26.

Proctor's title was won in the first Canadian Championship to be run as a combined event. He placed third in the ski jumping on Cote de la Neige Hill, which was won by Lin Lehan of the Montreal Ski Club, and sixth in the ten-mile cross-country race at Shawbridge, which was won by Bob Reid of the Nansen Ski Club of Berlin, N. H.

As a result of winning the championship, Proctor earned the distinction of having his name engraved on the Canadian Championship cup, and will be presented with a replica of the cup, as well as a gold medal.

Proctor won the ski-jumping and proficiency events and took second place in the one-mile down-hill ski race in the Intercollegiate Winter Sports Union meet held here last February. At that time he made a jump of 130 feet which is the present record for the Dartmouth hill.

This season he continued his success by winning the International Intercollegiate ski jumping event at Quebec on January 16. He was high point man of the Dartmouth Winter Carnival meet, winning the ski jump, the proficiency contest, and the one-mile down hill ski race. He placed fifth in the Championship jumping at Brattleboro, Vt., which was one of the district Olympic try-outs of the season.
