Nayar Captures Mass State Title

Anil Nayar captured his second major squash title in two weeks by defeating top-seeded Henri Salaun in the Massachusetts Squash Racquets Championships Saturday.

Nayar, newly-crowed intercollegiate champion, downed the 40-year-old Salaun 15-10, 9-15, 17-14, 15-7.

The victory was Nayar's first win ever over the three-time national titlist. Salaun had blanked Nayar last year 3-0 in the same tournament.

Two other members of Harvard's squash team competed in the championships. Sophomore Larry Terrell advanced to the semi-finals before bowing. Squad captain Rick Sterne lost in the quarter-finals.
