Warming up for Wednesday's crucial match with Princeton, Harvard's varsity squash team trounced Dartmouth Saturday, 8-1, for its seventh victory of the season.
Dartmouth, which has failed to win a single Ivy League match in the past two years, offered only a little competition to the Crimson. Filling in for Todd Wilkinson in the number-four spot, Steve Simpson dropped two games before turning back Dartmouth's Jeff Garten.
In the sixth match, Gerald Hills caught Crimson three-year veteran Peter Brooks off form and chalked up an 18-15, 15-11, 15-10 win. It was the first individual match Dartmouth has won against Harvard since 1960.
Harvard won the remaining seven matches by 3-0 scores.
Captain Dinny Adams (number one) drubbed Carter Hall, 15-10, 15-7, 16-15; sophomore Jose Gonzalez (two) routed Gary Jefferson, 15-6, 15-2, 15-7; undefeated sophomore Rick Sterne humbled Peter Rosden, 15-8, 15-8, 15-5.
Junior Craig Stapleton, playing at full steam now, crushed Lee Beyer in the number-five match, 15-5, 15-5, 15-7.
