RAWLINS TROUNCES MERRIMAN AND SECURES FRESHMAN TITLE

H. N. Rawlins '27 became Freshman squash, champion yesterday by defeating R. B. Merriman, Jr. '27 in three straight, games, 15-8, 17-15, 15-7. This was a fitting climax to Rawlins' brilliant season, in which he won all but a single match in team play and the Class B state title.

The first game went to the victor 15-8, but the second threatened more than once to go to Merriman, who seemed to have regained confidence. Rawlins, however, tightened up when the score stood 11-14 against him, and finally pulled it out at 17-15. In the third game he started with a run of 7 straight points, scoring continually on skillfully executed deep shots. So accurate did his strokes become that he allowed his opponent but 7 points the whole game.
