Hanover, N. H., February 10.--The Dartmouth winter carnival opened this evening with a supper-dance at College Hall. It was followed by the Dramatic Association's play "Kick In," presented in Webster Hall, which was crowded to its greatest capacity. The leading role was played by W. P. Costello 1916, of Rochester, N. Y., who is director of the Dramatic Association.

More colleges are entered in the outdoor events than ever before. The recent snowfall has put the ski and snowshoe courses and the ski jump in the best of condition and a record-breaking crowd of visitors has assembled.

Tomorrow afternoon the Dartmouth hockey team will play Bishop's College. Other events will be intercollegiate snowshoe and ski races, a ski relay race between Dartmouth and Colgate, a snowshoe obstacle race, and an exhibition jumping event by C. G. Palson, of New Hampshire State College, and F. H. Harris, Dartmouth 1911. This evening the main social event of the season, the carnival ball, will be held in the Gymnasium.
