Squash Team Will Meet Cornell, Should Walk Away With Victory

Virtually the only problem the Crimson squash team should have in its match at Cornell tomorrow is finding a New York paper to report its victory. They beat Cornell 9 to 0 last year, and the embarrassed silence which presently reigns in Ithaca suggests that the Big Red squash-men are even smaller this year.

The Crimson had one of its easiest matches of the '61 season against Cornell, losing only four games during the day. Most of the team which participated in that rout are back--eight of the first nine men, to be exact.

The major difficulty Crimson coach Jack Barnaby has at the moment is finding a place for his multitude of stars. Considering that three stand-outs irom last year's freshman team are on the ladder this year, it is obvious that some of the returnees from the defending Ivy League champions are fighting for their lives.

With all this strength, there is little chance that the varsity's present string of 13 victories will be broken this season. Their last loss was to Yale in the spring of 1961. Since then, they have been pressed only three times.

The toughest match of this season was the Crimson's tight win over the Montreal Squash Club.

This will be the squash team's last match before Christmas. They return to action in January against a weak Dartmouth squad, who should bother the Crimson as little as Cornell will tomorrow. Already, the team is looking forward to their tussles with Princeton and Yale, but Christmas comes first. The team will open their presents in Ithaca tomorrow.
