SKIERS ACHIEVE WIN IN SLALOM

Unknown and untried, the Crimson's informal ski team upset the predictions of the experts as it triumphed over five of the best squads the East could offer in the regular slalom at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival Sunday. In spite of victory in the final event of the meeting, however, the Crimson athletes placed only fifth when the total point scores went up.

The Harvard team placed only one point behind West Point, favorites to win the meet, but was 30 points in back of Middlebury and Dartmouth, who ultimately led the field. When the third of the Crimson's entries in the ski-jump failed to show up at Hanover, all hope of high ranking was lost.

Star of the team that made the trip from here to Hanover, New Hampshire, was Gerry Genn, who placed sixth in the giant slalom, eighth in the jump, and second in the regular slalom.
