Squash Team Faces M.I.T.

M.I.T. does not, as a rule, have very good luck against the Harvard squash team. Last year the score was 9 to 0, the winter before that it was 9 to 0, and the year before that, the same.

This season's Harvard M.I.T. contest, tonight at 7 p.m. in Hemenway, could conceivably be different, but this is not very likely.

Mononucleosis has cut a sizeable portion of the Crimson varsity from the match, but as is usual with Coach Jack Barnaby's teams, there are plenty of competent reserves to hold the fort.

Leading off for the Engineers will be George Meyer, who has never played at number one before but scored an impressive victory at number two in M.I.T.'s 6-3 loss to Dartmouth last week. Meyer will face the Crimson's Vic Neiderhoffer.

The other experienced players for M.I.T. are captain Monro Labouisse, and seniors Joe Rappaport and Joe Strut, playing at two, three, and four. Labouisse was the man Meyer had to displace to get the number one spot.

The Crimson players to face these men are not yet definitely selected. Paul Sullivan, regularly at number two, is still sick, and Hampy Howell, who played number two last winter, has only seen limited action this week and may not play tonight.

M.I.T.'s record this year has not been very encouraging--the Engineers lost 8 to 1 to the same McGill varsity which Harvard downed, again by 8 to 1. Then they lost to Navy by 9 to 0, dropping four five-game matches. Their only other match was the loss to Dartmouth.
