Two Harvard Sophomores were imprisoned underground yesterday for five and a half hours in the West morley squash court.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, W.I. Nichols '26 and H.W. Keves '26 entered the court for a game of squash and closed the door behind them. On finishing their match they found that there was no way of opening the door from the inside. Repeated efforts failed to find the "Open Sesame" though a turn of the catch on the outside of the door would have done the trick.
To make the best of things the two prisoners continued their squash game, stopping every few moments to shout. They could hear people passing but no amount of yelling or pounding on the door, walls, and ceiling could attract any attention.
Finally, Nichols conceived the idea of breaking down the door, but it was 9.30 in the evening before the task was accomplished.
