Elis Take 2nd From Ski Club

Yale edged the varsity skiers by eight-tenths of a point to take second place behind champion Williams in the Eastern Division Championships at Lyndonville, Vermont, over the weekend. Meanwhile, the freshman ski team placed second behind Dublin School in its opening meet there, while Mount Hermon School finished last in the triangular meet.

The varsity outscored Yale in all events except the slalom. It took first in jumping, second in cross country, second in jumping-cross country combined, second in downhill, sixth in slalom, and second in downhill-slalom combined. Captain Jim Weaver was outstanding in all four events, while Skiddy Lund and John Houser were also strong scorers.
