contest, and that was not serious. {.
y. Proctor. a 1T-year-old junior III the
Hanover high school. made a ciean first
jump of ia feet but when he took off
for his second leap. which seemed to the
spectators would bring him close to
Carleton's record. his right ski strap
broke which let the ski assume peupeu-
dicular position with the point downward.
which spelled trouble i'm the minds of the
spectators. When Proctor landed the
point of the ski struck first and the heel
slid and rolled to the foot of the hill
and there was assisted To his feet by two
men. He pulled himself together and
Ialthough unable to make his third jump
he remained as a spectator until the other
eight participants made their third
jumps Proctor covered 1874 feet in his
