G! l..1.:Yfr:n.1' V ' ' Tarr Hall Upsets All Predictions an Despite the spring weather on February 23rd, Cornell students had a successful winter weekend. Two basket- ball games and two wrestling meets teamed up with a full weekend's schedule of games, gambling and danc- ing. Friday night was Casino night in the Commons, and a kickline, stage band, continuous floor show and an auc- tion were sandwiched between an evening of gambling in the Hilltop lounge. Saturday was highlighted by the King and Queen's Race. The Phi-O's hauled Chuck Gough to the crown, followed by Pfeiffer, the Arrows and Rood. Tarr, in a surprise entry, struggled to drag Nike the Greek Call 250 pounds of himj up the hill. In the Queen's Race, the defending champions the Milts held their title by carry- ing Linda Gable to a Winter Weekend victory. They were followed by the Delts, the Axes and Pauley. A lack of snow did not cancel the snow sculpture con- test. Dows won the first prize of fifteen dollars with their ice-block dice and a title of Cornell is a Para- Dice. Second prize went to the Milts and an indepen- dent group of girls from Dows won third. A contestant for the Queen's Race, Donna seems quite comfortable in her blanket seat.

The Milts put in a strong bid for The title with a surprise second in the tug-of-war and a first in the Queen's Race.
