The Dartmouth ski team left no doubt that it is the best in the East. After close victories over Middlebury in the Williams, Dartmouth and Middlebury Carnivals, the Green captured the Eastern intercollegiate skiing title at Norwich with 581.4 points. Middlebury was second with 572.1 points.
In the downhill race, Bob Hiller and Fred Jones were second and third behind Bob Lutz of Vermont. Others in the top ten included Jim Page, who was seventh. Page was only two minutes off the pace set by Dave Hanscom of Middlebury in cross country. Hanscom was first, Bill Gray of Harvard second, and Page was third. Dick Breen of the Indians was sixth and Ed Williams eighth.
Pat Terenzini provided the thrills in the slalom in two fine runs. Jim Jacobsen added valuable points with a second, while Fred Jones was fourth, Bob Hiller was fifth, and Page was seventh. Terenzini's finish also earned him alpine combined laurels.
Dick Breen was high man in the jumping for the Indians with a third, while Page was tenth. As a result of his fine showing in all four events, Page was named Skimeister of the Eastern championship meet.
