UNIVERSITY SQUASH TITLE GOES TO BAKER

M. P. Baker 1G. won the University squash championship yesterday by defeating J. D. DuBois '24 in three straight games. Although Du Bois frequently threatened in the second and third sessions, the victor held the upper hand throughout.

The first game went to Baker almost without dispute, but in the second the players were never more than two points apart up to 12-12. It looked at first as if the last game would be another walkaway when Baker won the first four points. Du Bois again evened the score, however, but finally lost the game at 13-18.

The following are the scores by games: 15-5, 15-2, and 18-13.

Graduate Students Prominent

The 15 ranking squash players of the University, based on tournaments played on the University courts, were announced yesterday by Coach Cowles and the management. It is interesting to note that three of the first five men are members of the graduate schools. The following are the players in the order of their ranking:

1. W. P. Dixon '25.

2. M. P. Baker 1G.

3. Channing Wakefield 3L.

4. Lawrence Foster 3L.

5. Carroll Harrington '24.

6. W. P. Macpherson 1L.

7. G. D. Debevoise '26.

8. J. H. Douglas 3L.

9. J. D. DuBois '24.

10. H. N. Rawlins '27.

11. R. S. Wright '26.

12. J. J. Glessner '25.

13. E. M. Upjohn '25.

14. W. B. McIlwain 2L.

15. D. P. Kingsley 3L.

Dixon's place at the top of the list is undisputed. The University team captain has had an enviable record this winter, among other triumphs winning the State championship and being semifinalist in the national championship. Baker's excellent play toward the end of the season with his final victory in the University championship earns for him second place.

Choice Difficult

The next three men have almost equal records, making it difficult to choose the order of their ranking. Macpherson's first year in this country has been marked by excellent play, particularly in the University and Law School tournaments, which gives him the right to a high position.

The seventh place goes to Debevoise, who caused the greatest upset of the season by defeating Dixon in the University tournament in January; and eighth to Douglas, a consistent Law School player from Princeton. J. D. Du Bois, ranking ninth, has played as first man on Team B all season and was a finalist in the recent University championship tournament.

The Freshman captain, Rawlins, could play only in Class B tournaments and so, although very successful in those, could not be ranked higher. Wright was handicapped in the early part of the season by illness, but has recently exhibited exceptional ability.

The remaining four players are fairly even and have played good consistent squash all season.
