Skiers Split Into Groups

Skiers this winter will be split into separate instruction groups of ten according to ability. Methods of selection and of advancement from group to group will be similar to those used by the Arlberg School, Sidney Cobb '39, manager of the team, explained yesterday.

The instruction program will include downhill and slalom skiing, as well as cross country and jumping. At present squad members are running every afternoon to get in training.

General coaching for skiers will take place on six consecutive week-ends from February 6 to March 15, Cobb said yesterday. Cox will coach one afternoon during the week when there is snow in Cambridge.
