The varsity squash team lost only two games in crushing Amherst 9-0 yesterday, extending its winning streak to seven this year and 16 since Yale edged the Crimson 5-4 in 1961.
Doug Walter, playing number four, took one game from his Jeff opponent 15-0, the first perfect game in a long time. Bill Morris and captain Roger Wiegand each lost a game, while the rest of the squad won 3-0. Vic Niederhoffer, first on the ladder, gave every shot that he would have to run for to return to his opponent, Tom Poor, and won 18-17, 16-14, 15-13.
After the match Henri Salaun, one of the country's top players, easily defeated Morris and Paul Sullivan in practice games. Salaun is masterful at not letting his opponents guess where he will hit the ball, and hardly had to exert himself in the practice games.
Tomorrow the squad leaves for games with Pennsylvania Friday and Princeton Saturday, with a change in the ladder. Doug Walter lost his number four position 3-2 to Lou Williams in a test match yesterday.
