After all, they considered their fifth-place slalom finish and seventh-place downhill result at the 1973 Middlebury Carnival respectable, because all it takes to qualify for the NCAA is a fourth-place overall team finish.

...future, guess who scored just about all Harvard's points at Darthmouth? Senior Ben Steele. Steele cannot be termed Harvard's answer for 1975. Sophomore Gordon Adler just barely broke into the scoring with a 17th in the giant slalom and placed relatively well--22nd--in the slalom, but out of the points.

The cross country run, with Dartmouth's own Tim Caldwell the heavy favorite, was run Thursday at Holderness Academy, forty miles to the north.
