Dartmouth, with a strong team, was out for blood in the Winter Sports events. New Hampshire, holder for four years of the championship of the Intercollegiate Winter Sports Union, was the chief rival of the Green, which in turn was the leading competitor among a field of twelve colleges for honors in the I. W. S. U. meet. On the first day the Green ran up an amazing total of 34 points, leaving New Hampshire with only 9, and McGi 1, the next in line, with 6. Before a large crowd Jack Shea, Dartmouth's skating ace, skimmed across the finish line well in the lead in the 440-yard speed skating event, and again in the two mile event his flashing blades outdistanced the field. In this race he was followed by his teammate, Mahoney. In the figure skating, Wakefield, though closely pressed by Bolton of McGill, was victorious, and Tucker of Dartmouth was third.
Meanwhile, Mann, Page, and Dewey had been making points for Dartmouth in the downhill and slalom races so that victory seemed practically assured.
