Squash Champs Set Match Here

The two best squash players in the United States will play each other an exhibition match at Hemenway Thursday at 5 p.m.

Mahibulla Khan, the current U.S. Open champion and the pre at Boston's Harvard Club, will take on his uncle, two-time Open champion Hashim Khan in a three-out-of-five game match.

Afterwards, Mohibulla will play a short exhibition against Viv Niederhoffer, the Crimson's number one player and the third-ranked amateur in the country. Vic went to the semifinals of this year's Open before bowing to Hashim Khan, 3-2.

While Niederhoffer is playing Mohibulla, Hashim will take on other members of Harvard's team in short matches.

The two Khans, along with Hashim's two brothers, Roshan and Azam, have monopolized the U.S. Open title since they first began to come here from Pakistan a dozen years ago. "They're simply fantastic players," Crimson squash coach Jack Barnaby says. "They cover ground better than anyone else in the game and their shots are better too. Anyone who comes over to watch will see something very different from the ordinary game.
