Squash Team Meets Amherst, Dartmouth

Jack Barnaby's varsity squash team goes on its first road trip of the season for a pair of weekend intercollegiate matches with Amherst and Dartmouth today and tomorrow.

The Crimson will probably have little trouble in either of the meetings, for Amherst and Dartmouth have never beaten Harvard in formal intercollegiate competition. And the Crimson has good enough players this year to keep that record intact, says Coach Barnaby.

Nevertheless, the Lord Jeffs and the Green were much improved over 1947 last week in their games with the Harvard Club and the Worcester YMCA. While they both lost, they made it closer than anticipated. Something else which will aid Dartmouth and Amherst is the absence of Crimson number four man Milt Heath, who is out of Cambridge.

Cory Winn's freshman squad will get its first taste of intercollegiate play tomorrow at Amherst, but will not meet Dartmouth because the Indians have wiped out their freshman team. The Yardlings are deep in material, but lack any real standouts.

The Freshmen had a tune-up match yesterday, but lost to a strong Business School squad 5 to 0 at Hemenway.

In a second squash game yesterday the varsity "C" team topped the Law School's Lincoln's Inn Society 4 to 1 in a state "C" league match. The Crimson swept all but the first set of the five-set series.

The summaries: Hartman (LI) defeated Stanton, 3 to 2; Harding (H) defeated Everts, 3 to 2; Lawrence (H) defeated Brofy, 3 to 1; Emerson (H) defeated Johnson, 3 to 2; Richardson (H) defeated McKeown, 3 to 0.
