GREEN SKIERS KEEP CARNIVAL CROWN

We had meant to begin this month with the Dartmouth ski team because we feel the skiers covered themselves with their usual winning glory in the Dartmouth Carnival meet despite the strong opposition offered by the Swiss University stars in the downhill and slalom and by McGill in the langlauf and jumping. Furthermore, only a few hardy fellows ever sit up with us through the night on these reviews of a whole month, and hence the ski team should not object if we talk to ourselves for the duration of a paragraph or two.

Entering the meet handicapped by lack of snow during the training period, the Indian skiers matched the Swiss supremacy in the continental specialties—the slalom and downhill. Dick Durrance captured first in both these events with a considerable time margin in the downhill on Moose Mountain (approximately four seconds) and by a narrower margin in the slalom on Oak Hill. Perhaps for the first Carnival the jumping event shared its previous monopoly of spectator interest with the slalom, and it is no wonder, with the exceedingly high brand of skiing the slalom brought forth.

Howard Chivers, son of Professor Arthur Chivers 'O2 and younger brother of ski captain Warren Chivers, was another two-event winner with victories in the langlauf and combined. His jump for his combined score was also third best performance of the afternoon.

Harold Hillman, son of track coach Harry Hillman and deserter of the ancient and honorable sport of footracing according to Harry's very biased opinion, placed third in the downhill, and with Durrance and Ted Hunter, another of Dartmouth's Olympic skiers, started the Big Green on their winning week-end with this event.

In the langlauf on Friday afternoon of Carnival Dartmouth colors came in one- two-three with Howard Chivers, Captain Warren Chivers and Dave Bradley riding the waves in that order.
