DIXON AND PEABODY ENTER SQUASH FINAL

As a result of the semi-final matches in the Massachusetts state squash tournament played yesterday on the Harvard courts, W. P. Dixon '25, captain of the University team, will meet C. C. Peabody of the Boston Tennis and Racquet Club in the final match for the championship title. The contest will take place on the Randolph courts sometime next week.

Dixon won his place in the final match by defeating Channing Wakefield 3L of the Lincoln's Inn Society yesterday afternoon, 15-5, 9-15, 15-11, 15-4. Both men played a defensive game throughout. Each realized that a hard hitting game would be fatal, and the two players depended entirely upon their skill in placing and in the variety of their shots to win. The Harvard captain proved his superiority.

Dixon Takes First Easily

In the first game, the score was tied at four-all. Dixon then ran up the ncessary 15 points, dropping only one to his opponent. Wakefield paid dearly for the second game. His opponent kept him on the jump continually. Dixon saved himself for the later games and wore out the Law School man by placing his shots with care in spots most inconvenient for Wakefield to reach. The result of this treatment was especially evident in the last game in which Dixon got 14 points to Wakefield's one before the latter began to score again.

Peabody Never Pressed

Peabody defeated R. A. Powers of the B. A. A. 15-9, 15-12, 18-13, thus entering the final round. The former played his usually steady game and Powers finally played into his hands. Peabody used the corner shot to advantage throughout the match. He rarely took an extra step but conserved his energy as far as possible. His long arms and lanky body seemed to reach all over the court and he had little trouble in producing his score. Powers, on the other hand, was over-anxious, but was particularly clever in scooping up the low bounces.
