Skiing

Dartmouth maintained its intercollegiate skiing supremacy by capturing the team trophy in the intercollegiate Ski Union championships held in Hanover over Carnival week-end, but only after the closest sort of battle with the red-shirted skiers from McGill University. At the end of the first day's competition, the Canadians were leading Otto Schniebs' men by the narrow margin of 199.9 to W-S- Early Saturday morning, however, the Green skiers swept the slalom event on Oak Hill to take a commanding lead, and then hung on to their advantage by scoring well in the jump.

The final point standings in the Carnival meet gave Dartmouth 493.3, McGill 489-7' New Hampshire 370.5, Maine 361.8, Williams 361.3, Amherst 358.9, Harvard 355.6, Yale 299.6, Middlebury 276.5, Princeton 254 a, Cornell 225.0, and Norwich 214.1. Sel Hannah '35, captain of last year's Green ski team, returned to Hanover as a McGill competitor and figured prominently in the lead which the Canadians ran up in the first day's events. He took first place in the langlauf and a fifth in the downhill, and was well supported by Bob Johannsen who captured second place in both events. McGill took too points for its team performance in the langlauf, and 99-9 points to Dartmouth's 100 for its work in the downhill. Captain Bern Woods of Dartmouth took first honors in the downhill, with Jack Dumnce third, and Colin Soule sixth. John Litchfield turned in the Indians' best performance in the langlauf, taking third, while Dave Bradley finished fourth and Bern Woods finished sixth.

Dartmouth finished one-two-three in the Saturday morning slalom, Ed Meservey taking top honors, followed by Bern Woods and Otis Lamson. In the jump on Saturday afternoon, R. S. Johannsen finished first for McGill and by virtue of his second in the langlauf the day before, took first in the combined event. Bern Woods took second in the jump, followed by Litchfield in third and Dave Bradley in fifth. Hannah captured fourth honors and thereby gave McGill second place in the combined jump and langlauf. Litchfield, Bradley and Woods finished third, fourth and fifth in the combined event.
