Three squads, squash, swimming, and track, are undefeated in both varsity and freshman competition. The varsity hockey team in undefeated in Ivy League play.

Quintet to Face B.C.

The varsity basketball team, with a record of nine wins and four losses, faces Boston College Thursday night at the I.A.B. and meets a powerful Yale five here Saturday night. Paced by sharp-shooter Johnny Lee, the Elis are the defending champions of the Ivy League, but have lost to Dartmouth early this month. The Crimson was narrowly defeated by the Indians 67 to 64.

The hockey team has a record of six and eight, but all its losses were against non-Ivy opponents. The holiday western road trip proved disastrous as far as the team's won-lost record is concerned. The six faced off against some of the most powerful teams in the nation including the U.S. national amatuers. This week they will meet Northeastern at Watson Rink Thursday night and Dartmouth at Hanover Saturday.
