Carnival
In the hills of Hanover, N. H., met the sturdy sons of McGill University, Williams, New Hampshire State and Dartmouth Colleges for the winter sports carnival of the Dartmouth Outing Club. Among those snowy hills, they vied with one another with revels, games. McGill, not being a member of the intercollegiate winter sports union, was not concerned in the score, though ardently it competed with the others. Contestants webbed their feet with snowshoes, raced a 150-yard snowshoe dash; they laced long runners to their feet and maneuvered before judges (ski proficiency test) ; they shot down a steep bank on skis and into the air from a great steel thank-you-ma'am. Other events were: fancy figure skating, 3-mile snow-shoe cross-country race.
When all was over, it was found that Williams had 48 points, Dartmouth 41, New Hampshire 35. Captain "Jack" Frost of the Dartmouth winter sports team was disconsolate; for the first time in five years, his college had lost the championship.
