SQUASH MEN LEAD STATE TOURNEY AFTER 5-4 WIN

By defeating the Lincoln's Inn Society in four matches out of five yesterday afternoon, the University squash team has firmly secured the lead in the Massachusetts state tournament. The next and last meet is scheduled with the Harvard Club of Boston which is next to the bottom of the league and should cause but little trouble.

Captain Dixon of the Harvard team proved his superiority over Wakefield, No. 1 man on Lincoln's Inn, winning three out of four games, 15-8, 13-18, 15-12, 18-15. In this match the men were pretty evenly paired. Dixon took the first game with ease. In the second, however, he ran up a score of 12-7, and at that point Wakefield began to tally, evening up at 13. The game was then set at five and the Lincoln's Inn man scored the required points in succession. Close scoring featured the last two games, for the players kept evening up all the way through.

The summaries:

W. P. Dixon '25 defeated Channing Wakefield, 15-8, 13-18, 15-12, 18-15; Lawrence Foster defeated G. D. Debevoise '26, 15-10, 11-15, 15-10, 15-9; Carroll Harrington '24 defeated J. H.
