Three Harvard Players Win in Squash Tourney; Robinson Falls to Poor

PHILADELPHIA, March 5--Terry Robinson lost in the National Intercollegiate Squash Tournament today, but the way he lost was a victory in itself.

Robinson had the bad luck of drawing the number one seed, Tom Poor of Amherst, in the first round. The match looked like a runaway as Poor snatched the opening game, 15-4, Robinson, however, countered Poor's tactics with some brilliant shot making of his own, and captured the next two games.

The lead in the fourth game see-sawed until Robinson pulled ahead, 10-7. But a tinned corner drop attempt allowed Poor to regain enough momentum to take the game. The fifth and final game was all Poor's.

Poor never trailed his second round opponent, Penn's John Reese, and won, 3.1.

Harvard's other players advanced to the third round. Al Terrell upset Princeton's number one player, Frank Satterthwaite, 3-1. The Crimson senior looked invincible in the first two games, blasting ground strokes and then dropping shots along the wall.

Satterthwaite controlled the third game, but Terrell took the fourth with devastating basic squash.

Bill Morris, who had little trouble winning his opening matches, faces the formidable task of stopping fourth-seeded Howard Coonley of Penn today.

Second-seeded Romer Holleran, Harvard's main hope for the championship, breezed past Williams' top player, Mike Annison, 15-11, 18-14, 15-11. Today he meets Steve MeIver of Trinity.

In the four-man team competition, Harvard stands one point behind Penn and Princeton, both of which still have three players in the tournament. A team receives one point for each round a player advances.

Last night at a banquet held at University of Pennsylvania. Harvard's team received the highest squash honor when it was named the nine-man intercollegiate champions. A 10-0 season record enabled the Crimson to win the championship for the fourth straight year.
