M. P. Baker 3 M defeated P. M. Lenhart '27 last night in the finals of the State Squash Tournament at the Harvard Club, Boston, thereby retaining the State title.

The first, fouth and fifth matches went to Baker by scores of 15 to 11, 18 to 15 and 15 to 12. The second and third were won by Lenhart with tallies of 15 to 12 and 15 to 11.

This was probably the fastest and hardest played match of the tournament. Both men displayed a flashy game.

Teams entered in the National Squash Tournaments of the future will be forced to enter men in the individual play as well, according to a rumor now current in squash circles.

Such a change in the rules is interpreted as directed against Harvard as it will force the University to deviate from its established policy of competing for the team title only. The University authorities in charge of athletic policies feel that it is better to engage in the competition for the team title than individual title. In a small way this is a furtherance of the "athletics for all" policy pursued by Director of Athletics Bingham. Besides it is felt generally that the necessity of entering a man in the individual play will materially weaken the team.

Team Goes to Detroit

Six memebers of the University squad with Coach Cowles and Manager L. H. Gordon '27 will leave tomorrow for the National Tournament, to be held in Detroit from February 20 to 23. The members of the team are H. N. Rawlins '27, P. M. Lenhart '27, H. B. Jackson '27, J. L. Pool '28, E. D. Pratt '27 and W. J. Iselin '29.

The team will not arrive in Detroit until 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, and will have to play at 10 o'clock. Each day of the meet they are slated for two matches.

Coach Cowles said yesterday that this will brobably be the most hotly contested tournament in which the team has been entered this year because of the strength of the English team and the New York team.
