HINKLE AND WAKEFIELD TO PLAY FINALS TODAY

In the finals of the annual fall squash racquets tournament Captain E. M. Hinkle '23 will meet Channing Wakefield 2L. at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the University Squash Courts. The winner will receive a gold medal from the H. A. A. In accordance with a recent ruling of the Massachusetts Squash Racquets Association this match, and all semi-finals and finals in future tournaments at the University, will be refereed by a third person agreed upon before the match by both players. The match will be for the best three out of five games.

Hinkle has encountered but little real opposition up to the present in the tournament with the exception of his semi-final match with D. S. Ingalls 3L, when he was forced to extra games. Hinkle was badly injured in the nose recently while playing G. D. Debevoise '26, and will be obliged to undergo an operation after the tournament is over that will keep him out of the game nearly two weeks. It is expected, however, that this disability will not be a severe handicap to him today.

In marked contrast to Hinkle's easy progress stands out Wakefield's series of hard-fought encounters. Although he too found no difficulty in his opponents of the first three rounds, he was put to it to win his next match from Carroll Harrington '24, 16-15, 15-12. This encounter was all that the score implies, for both men played a hard-hitting game that kept the score close. His semi-final match with W. P. Dixon '25 was even more bitterly contested, however, for he was but one point ahead near the end of the last game, with the game score two all. Wakefield's capacity for great endurance was well shown in this match, which lasted for an hour and a half.
