HARVARD AND YALE TO CROSS RACQUETS TODAY

The Harvard squash racquets team faces the strongest Yale squad in years in an intercollegiate match at the University Club courts at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Harvard racquetmen will play in the following order: J. L. Pool '28, W. J. Iselin '29, S. M. Dupertuis '28, Seabury Oliver '28, and A. G. Thatcher '29.

The Yale lineup will probably be identical with the one that competed against Buffalo in the national inter-city tournament. The lineup follows: C. W. Gillespie, K. Mabon, P. Peabody, R. A. Goodwin and R. Simonds.

The University squad team has had a successful season in a schedule including such teams as the Harvard Clubs of Boston and New York, and the Boston Athletic Association.

Captain J. L. Pool '28, No. 1 man on the University team, provided an upset in the finals of the state amateur tournament when his speed and constant playing to his opponent's backhand gained him a victory in three straight sets over M. P. Baker '25 of the B. A. A. holder of the national amateur crown for the year 1926-27. Pool was beaten in the National Championship Tournament in Philadelphia, February 12 by the present champion, H. N. Rawlins '27. The experience and coolness of Rawlins was put to test in five gruelling matches before he overcame the Harvard captain.

The University team succumbed to Detroit in the national inter-city tournament on February 11 by a score of 3 to 2. The loss of Pool, who was not allowed to compete in both singles and team matches, was felt by the Harvard team.

Yale has made the best showing this year that it has ever made. It met Buffalo in the first round of the national tournament and was beaten by the close score of 3 to 2. Gillespie and Simonds were the winners in this match. Yale will be at a slight disadvantage in the match this afternoon since their courts are considerably smaller than those of the University.
