There was only one problem--no one told the Harvard men's squash team.

The last time Harvard lost was February 6, 1982, a 2 p.m. match at Hemenway Gym. This year, the match was on February 6, at 2 p.m. and at Hemenway Gym.

There, however, is where the coincidences ended.

Polsky was the first one to finish his match, capturing a 15-11, 15-8, 15-10 victory over Bob White. The co-captain missed all of last year and the first three months of this season with nagging injuries.

Jon Bernheimer was involved in the biggest match of the day. After whipping Roy Rubin 15-10, 15-12 in the first two games, Rubin began to play over his head--as he fought back to win the next two games.

With the match tied at 2-2, Bernheimer and Rubin battled to a 14-14 tie in the fifth game. Rubin scored a cross corner shot to take a one point lead and on point away from winning the match.

But the poised sophomore recorded two straight corner shots to capture the fifth game and match. Bernheimer's win tied the match at 2-2, instead of a 3-1 deficit.

"I played all right," Bernheimer said. "I let up in the third game. I was pretty shaky during the third and fourth games."

"There was a time when it looked bleaked," Harvard Coach Dave Fish said.
