M. Squash Nix Penn

WANTED: The Harvard men's squash team. Reason: 68 victims, one after the other.

Despite a sizeable reward--a major, upset--no person or team has come forward to turn in the offending racquetmen.

Saturday afternoon at Hemenway Gym, Penn became another Crimson casualty, falling, 8-1, in front of 50 spectators.

The match was the last at home for Co-Captain Russ Ball, Jack Colbourne, James Gilfillan, Darius. Pandole and Co-Captain Jack Polsky, all of whom will be graduating in the spring.

All the seniors--save Ball, who sat out because of an injury--wrapped up their last home match with victories.

"It was sweet," Colbourne said. "It was a nice way to go out."

"I wish there were more people in the stands for the seniors' last home match," sophomore Jon Bernheimer said. "All five have been really inspirational. It's been a lot of fun being on the same team with them."

With injuries to Ball and Jim Masland, each member of the team had to move up a spot or two.

Playing at number eight, Gilfillan crushed Duane Santos, 18-14, 15-12, 15-12, to give the Crimson a lead it would never relinquish.

At number six, George Polsky dropped a tough 15-13, 15-5, 11-15, 15-10 decision to Brad Carlson.

"It was gun fight all the way," Polsky said. "But I'm ready to go next week. I'm looking forward to the Yale match [next Saturday]."

Jack, George's older brother, recorded a 15-12, 12-15, 15-8, 15-9 victory over MacBee Butcher. The elder Polsky has been brilliant since returning to the team in early February after suffering a variety of injuries. Polsky is undefeated in his four matches this season.

After sufferring a mental lapse in the third game, Colbourne--playing at number two--rebounded to capture the fourth game, 15-12. Colbourne's win gave the Crimson a 3-1 lead in the overall score.

Doug Lifford continued to show no signs of rustiness, capturing a 17-16, 15-9, 15-12 decision over Scott Dainels. After taking the first semester off, Lifford has posted a 2-1 mark.

At number three, Bernheimer breezed to a straight-game win over Penn's Guy Olby. The sophomore's victory sealed the victory for the Crimson.

At number nine, Frank Huerta mixed drop and corner shots to record a victory over David Murray, 15-6, 15-9, 15-9.

Seth Handy crushed Scott Lasner in four games, 13-16, 15-7, 15-4, 15-11.

Pandole, Harvard's number-one player, captured a 15-5, 11-15, 15-13, 15-7 decision over Stuart Ballard. Pandole's shots seemed to land everywhere where Ballard wasn't. The senior had perfectly placed drop shots and nicks en route to his victory.
