FRESHMAN SQUASH AND FENCING MEN AT PLAY

With surprisingly few outstanding players among the 21 Freshmen who have been retained by squash coach Harry Cowles, it becomes reasonably certain that the road to team improvement must be almost as long as the distance to the first matches against Exeter on January 16.

Heading the file of players is G. B. Blake, of Brooks School, who has been proving himself in recent trials a likely No. 1 man. Behind him come J. R. English, of Exeter, P. F. Cunningham and H. Ladd, of Brooks, J. W. Cutler, of St. Marks, and W. Williams, of Exeter.

While on Linden Street Coach Cowles puts his 21 squashmen through their paces, in the Indoor Athletic Building Coach Rene Peroy finds himself facing the largest Freshman fencing turnout in Harvard history.

Despite the prospect of abolition for the sport, there are now 60 Yardlings hard at work, with still more expected at the final windup of fall sports.
