"Father of American Skiing"

So a British authority has termed CHARLES A. PROCTOR, Dartmouth 1900. Professor PROCTOR, member of the Dartmouth faculty in the department of Physics, has beenfor years one of the foremost ski officials of this country. He has been actively engagedfor months as a member of the organizing committee of the Ski Games, just held at LakePlacid as part of the 1932 Olympics. He was the official manager of the U. S. Olympic skiteam and served as chief timer for both the 18- and 50-kilometer ski races. In preparationfor the games of this winter he directed, as chairman, the work of the committee in chargeof selecting and training members of the U. S. ski team.

International hockey and bobsledding during the Lake Placid program were participated in by two Dartmouth men. DOUGLAS N. EVERETT '26 played right wing onthe U. S. hockey team and ROBERT H. MINTON '26 was braker on the flying bobsledpiloted by Jack Heaton.

DOUG EVERETT scored the first goal of the series in the opening game with Canada.The Canadians finally won the game 2-1 in overtime. DOUG also played strong gamesagainst Poland and Germany, easily defeated by both the Americans and Canadians.In the championship game with Canada DOUG scored for the United States early, but theFates were again adverse for Canada scored twice—the second time at the very end ofthe game to match Palmer's (of Yale) goal. More overtime—and much more—30 minutesof it, but no score. So the title went to Canada.

BOB MINTON helped Heaton, driver of the second U. S. sled, to win third place inthe world cham-pionships in two-man bobsled racing. The event, won by the Stevensbrothers, was closely contested and thrilling.
