Skiers Finish In Tenth Spot At Aspen Meet

The skiing team placed tenth in a 13-college, three-day competition in Aspen, Colorado last week.

Captain Graham Taylor was high scorer on the five-man Crimson team and thirteenth man in the tournament. He took seventh place in the cross country and tenth place in the down hill. Dee Bogert, number two man on the team, was twenty-first in the meet and captured eighth place in the slalom event.

The Crimson team faced a double handicap, since it had little time to practice and plenty of time to get tired on the long auto trip to the West. Yale, which has never yet topped the Crimson in skiing competition, finished last in the meet. Middlebury, the winning college, scored 394.47 points. Harvard scored 344.32, and Yale 301.94.

Personal Records

Individual four-way combined scores for the Crimson were: Taylor, 341.7; Bogert, 323.5; Bob Barrel, 288.8 (and forty-third in the meet); and Jim Weaver, 281 (forty-fourth). Irv Fisk was substitute.

The team will enter a squad in an amateur jump meet Sunday at Hanover.

Harvard, Yale and Middlebury were the only Eastern colleges in last week's competition. Western State finished second in the tourney and also contributed the top individual competitor, Crosby Perry-Smith. Perry-Smith took first place in both the cross-country and the jump and amassed 388.00 points. Other teams to finish ahead of Harvard were Utah, which placed third; Denver, fourth; Colorado, fifth; California, sixth; Wisconsin, seventh; Nevada, eighth; and Wyoming, ninth.
