The history of the men's and women's sports has been as cliquish as your everyday high school. Every team has its own place in the society that it has never strayed from.

There's Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Pennsylvania, none of whom have ever expressed an interest in doing well in squash and probably won't for a long time. The Cornell men's team has a cumulative record of 16-109; while the Quaker women are 7-53.

Then there's the athletic crowd, which includes Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Every National Title ever--that's either sex--has been won by one of these three schools, except for three titles by Navy in the 50's and 60's.

That's amazing.

Squash certainly has a perception of being a sport for the upper crust of society, and having the H-Y-P regime firmly in place only serves to extend it.

It may be true, or it may not--but in the end it really doesn't matter. Every sport has its following, whether it is stickball or croquet.

And what the Harvard squash teams have done to their opponents may be the greatest domination in any collegiate sport ever.

It is true that our football team is only division 1-AA and that our men's basketball team probably won't be playing in April.

But the next time someone tries to tell you that Harvard sports suck, you'll know how to squash that argument.
