SKI TEAM PLANS MEETS FOR FEBRUARY 3 AND 9

With thawing reported widespread north to Montreal, it seems unlikely, Captain Ad Carter said yesterday, that the skiing them will be able to get in any concentrated practice before its next meet, an open race on Russell Mountain, Woodstock, New Hampshire, Sunday, February 3.

Although there are only three second class men on the team, Carter, R. Colin Maclaurin '38, and Charles S. Rogers '37, the times of the University race on Sunday show that Coach Charley Proctor has a capable group of third class skiers including: Frederick S. Bigelow '38, Peter T. Brooks '38, David Emerson '38, and Thomas Motley II, '38, Robert H. Shaw '37, and William F. Loomis '36.

On Friday and Saturday, February 8 and 9, the team will run into its stiffest competition when it goes to the Dartmouth Carnival, the first meet for any by the downhill men. In the jumping Harvard will be well represented by Cedric E. Francis '37, who took fifth place in a recent intercollegiate contest at Lake Placid, and by Brooks and Emerson. For the slalom, a form of race in which a tortuous course is steered down an open slope between prescribed markers, the veteran group of Carter, Maclaurin, and Rogers will undertake the point making.

In langlauf, cross country work, lies Harvard's chief weakness, as there are at present no experienced men in this event. From now until the Carnival it will be the principal object of skiers and coaches to develop a few good candidates either from the third class or the novice material.
