Deriving a powerful psychological advantage from its defeat at the hands of the veteran B. A. A. aggregation last Saturday, the University squash racquets team journeys to Concord, New Hampshire today to retrieve itself in the second match of the season with St. Paul's School at 2.45 o'clock this afternoon. The University men seem fairly certain of achieving success, since the boarding school team consists almost entirely of untried players.
The home team has a decided advantage, however, in that it is thoroughly conversant with the peculiarities of the large courts with cement side-walls which are quite unknown to all the Crimson players except Captain. E. M. Hinkle '23, who made the trip last year and assisted the University in defeating St. Paul's by a 3-2 score.
As a result of his showing against R. A. Powers of the B. A. A. last Saturday, W. P. Dixon '25 has been moved up to first place over Captain Hinkle Dixon's steadiness is the outstanding feature of his play. Berths three and four on the team will retain the same tenants--Carroll Harrington '24 and A. L. Smith '25 respectively. In the fifth position, however, F. S. Hill '24 has resigned to take up hockey practice; this vacancy has been filled by F. I. Carpenter '24, who play number one on team B last Saturday.
St. Paul's Line-Up Uncertain
On account of the close competition among all the St. Paul's players, they have been engaged in practice matches up to today to determine their line-up, which will not be announced until this afternoon.
Beginning tomorrow the University players will start practising in the small courts for the Newton Center match on Saturday, since the large courts will not be entirely completed for ten days.
