Opening its season with a 4 to 1 victory over the Harvard Club, the University squash team swept into second place in the Class A competition of the Massachusetts Squash Racquets Association. The Boston Athletic Association, by scoring a clean sweep over the Union Beat Club, stands first in the League at present.
Coach Cowles stated that he was pleased with the manner in which the University team conquered the Harvard Club on the Club's own courts.
The University team lost throe of its star members by graduation last year, and thus its probable showing was a matter of debate. This victory gives great promise of a successful season.
The most brilliant playing was shown by Captain H. N. Rawlins '27, who easily defeated P. H. Callanan '13 in three straight games. P. B. Watson Jr. '15 gave P. M. Lenhart '27 a hard and close fight.
In the class B matches, Newton Centre defeated the University Seconds 5 to 0. No cause for undue pessimism is seen in this victory, as the second squad often starts slowly, and reaches its full strength late in the season.
Although the Harvard Freshmen lost by 3 to 2 to the Newton Centre Class C team, the players were evenly matched.
