Regain Carnival Crown

Highlighting a clean sweep of Carnival sports events by Dartmouth teams, the Big Green skiers regained crown on February 14-15 by the most decisive margin since the golden days of 1939. Walter Prager's schussers tallied 588.5 points out of a possible 600, followed by Middlebury with 569, McGill 556.9 and New Hampshire 545-1- Vermont, Harvard and West Point trailed.

Dartmouth piled up a big lead the first day by winning the downhill, slalom and combined, and then forged farther ahead on Saturday by capturing the cross-country, finishing second to Middlebury in the jump, and winning the combined. Captain Phil Puchner won the downhill, Malcolm McLane took first honors in the slalom and combined, and Bill Bull was also a double Green winner in the jump and combined jumpcross country. In the downhill, McLane took 3rd, Henry Lumbard sth, and Chris Bugge 18th. In the slalom, Lumbard was 3rd, Puchner Bth, and Bugge 13th. In cross-country, Bull took 3rd, McLane 4th, and Odd Ramsay sth. In the jump, Ramsay was 7th, Bugge 14th and Puchner 17th.

The visiting Swiss skiers swept the first three places in the downhill, and first, third and seventh in the slalom, but they did not figure in the intercollegiate Carnival ski meet.
