With the Outing Club

Carnival, this year, brings the Intercollegiate Winter Sports Union Championships back to Hanover for the first time since 1931. With the largest field of contestants ever entered in an I. W. S. U. Championship meet, and with a strong Dartmouth team, fresh from winning the President Harding Trophy at Lake Placid, defending its title as I. W. S. U. Champion, it should be a meet packed with thrill piled on thrill for both spectators and contestants.

Dartmouth will be represented by a picked squad of experienced men including L. Goldthwait '36, who dominated the speed skating at Lake Placid during the College Week races; H. S. Woods '36, an outstanding skier; F. J. Lepreau '34, who won the two-mile snowshoe event against a strong field at Lake Placid and E. H. Hunter '37, who combines acting as runner-up to Goldthwait in the skating with a brand of skiing which promises to give intercollegiate skiers something to think about.

Prominent among the visiting skiers will be such men as La Fleur, of St. Patricks, who was a member of the 1932 Canadian Olympic team; Denton, another Canadian but this time from McGill, and last year's winner in the I. W. S. U. ski-jumping; and Ball and Campbell, also from McGill, and both members of the team which represented Canada against a team from Oxford in a series of contests held in the Alps last winter. And Eddie Blood, a resident of Hanover, member of the 1932 Olympic team representing the United States, and his team-mates from New Hampshire, can be counted upon to add their share of excellent skiing to the meet.

But Carnival, of course, is more than just a winter sports meet, however glamorous that may be. It includes this year, the usual social events, fraternity dances, interfraternity snow sculpture, ski-joring and the like. And, as what might be called the official opening event, the committee is arranging a new type of Outdoor Evening program for Friday night. It will include spectacular skiing and skating, which have proved so popular in the past—the skating to be graced by the reappearance of Miss Louise Weigel of Buffalo who scored a big success last year. But this year, for the first time, the action will be accompanied by a descriptive monologue broadcast over an amplifier, thus insuring a greater cohesion on the program than has ever before been possible. And of course the Queen of the Snows will be crowned as a climax to the ceremonies.

"Gentlemen, I give you 'The Queen of the Snows!' "—That's a happy note to end on. Right now there's lots of snow. And more on the way? In God we trust.
