By defeating Lawrence Foster 2L. in the semi-finals of the University squash racquets tournament yesterday afternoon 3 to 2, W. P. Dixon '25 has reached the finals of the tournament and will contest the title of University champion with Channing Wakefield 2L., who entered the finals by winning his match on Thursday. The finals will probably be played off Monday afternoon, but the date has not been definitely decided upon yet. Both Dixon and Wakefield have survived three matches, in which Wakefield has taken eight games against his opponents' two, and Dixon eight against his opponents' three.

The Dixon-Foster match yesterday afternoon was the best match of the tournament so far. Foster had the edge for the first two games, playing fast drop shots, and won with the scores of 15-8 and 15-12. He gave a good fight for the third game but lost it 15-12. Dixon easily took the fourth match with the score 15-11 but in the fifth match, with the games tied 2-2, Dixon was hard pressed to win 15-13.

Wakefield won his matches against C. H. Hyams 2L. in the semi-finals on Thursday 3-1. He had previously defeated J. J. Glessner '25 20, and Carroll Harrington '24 3-1, while Dixon has downed R. M. Greene '25 2-0, and M. E. Gibson 3L. 3-1.
