It happened again yesterday, for the 35th consecutive time. Harvard's squash team won--this time over Amherst, 3-1, in Hemenway Gym.

Only a couple of matches excited much concern over the outcome. In the number one match, Harvard's Romer Holleran scared Tom Poor, the nation's top-ranked collegiate player, before finally bowing, 15-12, 15-9, 14-18, 12-15, 15-3.

Steve Simpson, at number nine, nearly excluded himself from Harvard's unbeaten ranks, which comprise two-thirds of the team. Only a point away from defeat four times, Simpson finally won, 15-7, 10-15, 3-15, 16-15, 15-3.

The remaining seven matches were all won in three straight games. It has been in the center of the lineup that Harvard has been most impressive: with half the season completed, a majority of the team is yet to lose even a game. That's known as strength up the middle.

Terry Robinson (two), Bill Morris (three), Dinny Adams (four); Al Terrell (five), and Todd Wilkinson (seven), all have perfect records.

The freshman squash team is starting a tradition of its own. Harvard blanked Amherst, 9-0, in Hemenway yesterday, for its third victory in as many contests.
