Stevenson Leads Skiers in Cross-Country

Five Crimson cross-country skiers ran a slushy eight mile race at Jackson, N.H., yesterday to gain twentieth, thirty-fifth, thirty-eighth and fortieth place out of a field of 43 racers.

The best Crimson time was turned in by Don Stevenson, who came in ten minutes behind the winner, an Olympic team member. Curt Beebe, who was last year's Yardling captain, placed thirty-fifth, followed by Bill Talbot and Mel Bristol, neither of whom have had much cross-country experience. Brad Powers was unable to finish because of trouble with his bindings.
