Harvard's number one squash player, Anil Nayar, bowed to Henri Salaun 3-1 in the final round of the Middlesex Bowl Championship Sunday in Boston's University Club.

Salaun '41, four-time National Squash Rackets Champion, has won the Middlesex title 16 times and has dominated New England Squash for the last 15 years.

Nayar, the slight Indian national champion who paced the Crimson team as a sophomore last year, defeated another Harvard player on his way to the finals. He beat senior Joe Gonzalez, 3-2, in a very close quarterfinals match.

A third Harvard player, Larry Terrell lost to Salaun, 3-1, in the semifinals.
