Wrestlers' Record Endangered; Squash Team May Go Undefeated

Fortunately for Coach Bob pickett and his undefeated Crimson wrestlers, man power problems arose and were solved during the first half of the season. The major problem now is a murderous second-half schedule.

The mat squad has rolled to four successive victories--over Boston University, 1 to 0 (a 1 to 0 forfeit--M.I.T. met the Crimson instead and was dereated in an informal match), Amherst, 20 to 13, Tufts, 30 to 6, and Williams, 27 to 3. These four are easily the weakest teams the Crimson will meet--in fact, they are the only weak teams.

The Crimson must now wrestle in succession six of the foremost powers in the East: Army, Brown, Princeton, Springfield, Columbia, and Yale.

Captain Johnny Lee, who was out for the first three meets, will be back to bolster the line-up, either at 123 or 130 pounds. In his single match during the Williams meet, he scored a 7 to 0 decision. Eddie Bursk, who was playing in the recent Hasty Pudding theatrical, will probably be back in action against Brown.

But despite the added strength these two men will give, the varsity is unlikely to preserve its perfect record, nor is it certain that the team will finish with a winning record. Last year, the wrestlers also had a four-and-noting record going into the second half of the season. The Crimson then tied Springfield, and lost consecutively to Brown, Army, Columbia, and Yale.

The lone addition to the schedule is Princeton, which usually musters a pretty strong wrestling squad.

Squash Team Has 6 Wins

The varsity squash team undefeated in six intercollegiate matches moves into the spring term with an excellent chance of remaining pure.

Jack Baranby's team led by Charley Difford and Captain Dave Waffs has had little trouble with anyone: even supposedly strong Army succumbed easily.

The Crimson started the season with a 6 to 1 victory over McGill, then beat M.I.T. 7 to 2. Usually strong Dartmouth was humiliated 9 to 0, and Amherst's weak team was also shuf out.

With Radden Pomes, Charlie Elliott, Harry Brownell, Johnuy Ranh, Mike Ward, and Bill Wister playing behind Difford and Watts, the varsity should meet Yale undefeated, and should finish that way.

Over the vacation Difford defeated Dick Squires of Williams 3 to 0 for the University Club of New York championship.
