CRIMSON SQUASH TEAM BEATS UNION BOAT CLUB

DIXON AND FOSTER WILL PLAY FOR TITLE TODAY

The University squash team Saturday defeated 3-2 the Union Boat Club, a quintet which has been unbeaten for the last two years and which during that time has held the Massachussetts Squash Racquets championship. The University won its victory despite the fact that the match was played on the Union Boat Club Courts, to which the Crimson men were unaccustomed. Individual interest reached its height in the second match. Here, C. J. Lennihan of the Union Boat had G. D. Debevoise by two games and a score of 7-2 in the third, when the latter turned the tables, finished the game a 15-9 winner, and then took the last two games, 15-9, 15-8, winning the set.

The summary: Dixon defeated Howe (U. B. C.), 15-10, 9-15, 15-3, 15,12; Debevoise defeated Lennihan (U. B. C.), 12-15, 5-15, 15-9, 15-9, 15-8; Marlow (U. B. C.) defeated Harrington, 15-12, 15-10, 15-12: Glessner defeated Olmstead (U. B. C.), 10-15, 15-8, 15-11, 15-9; Sides (U. B. C.) defeated Upjohn, 16-13, 17-16, 19-15.

Carpenter and DuBois were the only two University winners in the Class B match Saturday, which resulted in the Harvard Club of Boston team gaining a 3-2 victory over the University second team. Rose, number one man on the Crimson team, caused a surprise when he was beaten by Watson of the Harvard Club.

The summary: Watson (H. C.) defeated Rose, 10-15, 15-10, 12-15, 18-17, 17-14; Carpenter defeated Boggs (H. C.), 17-18, 11-15, 15-4, 15-9, 15-10; DuBois defeated Eaton (H.

The yearling team, playing the first match since its formation, lost 1-4 Saturday to the second team of the Tennis and Racquet Club on the courts in the Freshman Athletic Building. Rawlins victory over Belnap was the only Freshman triumph, in every other set but this the experienced player winning from the novice.
