The freshman squash team followed the lead of the national champion varsity squad yesterday by winning the state 'C' League championship. The Yardlings downed the Milton-Hoosle Club, 4 to 1, at Hemenway Gyln to win the title.
In the feature match, the Crimson's top man, Larry Brownell, blanked Milton's number one player, Ed Knowlton, 2 to 0. Captain Mike Ward, playing number two for the Yardlings, dropped a close 3 to 2 decision to Al Fenn, but Andy Miller, Ted Rose, and Haddon Tomes came through with easy victories in the three, four, and five slots to clinch the match.
Coach Cory Wynn's Yardling squad has won ten straight 'C' League contests this season, losing only eight out of 50 individual matches. They are also undefeated in eight intercollegiate and interscholastic matches, with an individual record of 50 wins and four losses.
The summary: Browne (H) defeated Knowlton, 15-7, 16-14, 17-15; Fenn (MHC) defeated Ward, 11-15, 3-15, 15-12, 15-10, 15-8; Miller (H) defeated Field, 15-11, 15-12, 8-15, 15-13; Rose (H) defeated Bump, 15-10, 15-8, 15-5; Tomes (H) defeated Gray, 15-6, 16-17, 15-14, 15-7.
