Crimson Tops Elis, Bows to MIT in Skiing

The Crimson victory over Yale in a five-way ski meet was the biggest news to come out of Lyndonville, Vermont, last weekend. It was no surprise that MIT's team of Norwegian exchange students took first place or that Williams and Norwich ended up fourth and fifth respectively.

Co-captain Graham Taylor of the Crimson skiers was as usual the mainstay of the team, and copped second place in the individual competition. Taylor scored the only first for the Crimson when he beat out MIT's Andy Wessel in the tough six mile cross-country run.

A tough penalty slapped on Gerry Genn dropped the Crimson to third place in the slalom, but the mishap was smoothed over since Yale wound up in fourth place. The powerful MIT team which had begun to roll by this time, took an easy first, and Williams popped up with second.

Final scores for the meet were MIT 385.73, Harvard 373.50, Yale 369.41, Williams 354.96, and Norwich 339.05.
