contests, with due attention being
from other climes.
Girls must dance, it seems, no matter
what the weather, and it was the case
last night, when half dozen "frat"
houses ~pened wide their doors, threw
away the keys and held high carnival
on the dance floors. 1t was essentially
the occasion when he who swung 3
light and Fantastic foot and was versed
in all the arts and nuances Of the last
thing in terpsichorcan art occupied the
main share of the spot light.
But matters took different turn to-
day, with the first Of the ski and snow
shoe races scheduled. The dancer had
to yield his place in the sun to hardy
young men who can master a pair Of
snowshoes or skis with the same Grm-
ness and skill that marks the work of
the cowboy Of our Western ranches.
And, by the way, casual study of the
subject leads me to believe that pair

selected for the field of operations to-
day. The yawning pits and traps, that
in the summer call for the lusty use
Of the niblick presented no less
hazardous pitfalls this afternoon,
buried under several feet Of snow and
lying in wait for the unfortunate skier
or snowshoer who might make a mis-
step. Not niblick. then, but only q
derrick and a block and tackle, could
get man 'out OF the rough"
The ski race was run in four heats.

Carleton makes great use of his

Dsrtmouth's Prospects Bright
