Squash Varsity Crushes Tigers

Showing what coach Jack Barnaby called "fine morale" after its unfortunate loss at Navy, the Crimson squash team trounced Princeton Saturday afternoon, 8 to 1. Only Gerry Emmet, at number one, lost his match, and that to Steve Vehslage, the top intercollegiate player in the country, 15-3, 15-8, 15-11.

Most of the victories were registered in convincing fashion. Playing at number two, captain Charlie Hamm defeated Ramsay Vehslage (Steve's older brother), 18-17, 15-13, 15-5. Also winning in straight games for the varsity were Pete Lund at number five, John Davis at six, and Tony Lake at nine. Only Lund had much difficulty in his match, downing Dave Brechner, 15-12, 17-15, 15-13.

The remaining four victories were in four games. Number three man Tim Gallwey played erratically in beating Tom Kehler, 17-16, 15-9, 4-15, 12-15, 15-4. Fourth man Fred Vinton topped Jim Jennings, 6-15, 15-18, 15-11, 15-7. At seven, Charlie Poletti beat Bardyl Tirana, 18-15, 15-6, 14-15, 15-2, and in eighth position Wally Stimson rallied to down Bob Seabring, 8-15, 15-4, 15-10, 15-13.

Having thus completed a trip marred only by the playing conditions at Annapolis, the squad will go into action again this week-end in the United States Championships in Boston. A week later, the long-awaited match against Yale will be held in Hemenway Gymnasium.
