"We are definitely a comeback team," said coach Jack Barnaby yesterday at the University Squash Courts where he was working With member of the squash squad in preparation for the first match of the season tomorrow against McGill University from Montreal.

Prior to the war, members of Harvard squash teams had won as many, it not more, National and intercollegiate individual championships than players of any other competing colleges; in addition to winning many intercollegiate team championships, the Crimson has the unequalled record of having copped two National titles.

During the war, the team lacked a coach and material, and under informal conditions had to limit itself to a single entry in the Massachusetts Squash Racquets League; this team wound up the season second from the bottom in a very weak Class C division last year, and lost to Yale, Dartmouth, and M. I. T. in Intercollegiate matchplay.

With the return of coach Barnaby this year, and a large turnout of Varsity aspirants, a squad is being formed which is out to regain the position of prominence held by former teams from Cantabrigia on the Charles.

Teams are now competing in all four divisions, A, B, C, and D, of the Massachusetts Squash Racquets League, an inter-club association, and although the A team is not faring too well at present, the B team is providing a lot of competition for its opponents.

Concerning the potentiality of his force, Barnaby commented, "We have quite a bit of material but all very green." He added that the aggregation shows a great deal of promise and skill even though it has no outstanding stars. Among the men expected to be mainstays, only one, Dave Shepard, has played on the Varsity before, although both John Knowles and Milton Heath were on last years' informal group. The squad also possesses Adam Foster, with pre-war Freshman team experience; Parker Francis, a senior of considerable ability; and a promising sophomore, Bill wightman, son of Mrs. G. W. Wightman of tennis reknown.

The squad, which is under the management of Norman L. Dreyer '47, intends to elect a captain this week before the season opener. When the five-game match gets under way at 10:30 Saturday morning, it will mark the first time that the Crimson and McGill have met on a squash court.

At Hanover the following Saturday, December 14, the team will be especially keyed up for a match which is of particular interest because the Indian warriors have never beaten the Crimson in a formal squash meeting. Barnaby's men are set on maintaining this record by showing a big improvement in order too overcome the unfavorable difference between the informal team and the Green of last year. The last match of this term will be at home on December 18 against Williams.
