Although Yale's varsity squash team is not of Penn's caliber, the Crimson may lose several individual matches in today's 2 p.m. meet on the Hemenway Courts.
Harvard has nothing to lose. Theoretically, the Crimson can lose to Yale today and still win the intercollegiate championship on the basis of individual points this season. Harvard has dropped only four points all season while Penn has already lost 13.
"I think we'll lose two or three games today just because you can't got too excited about the match." captain Ed Atwood said. "What can I tell the guys after they worked so hard for the Penn match? I'll let Jack worry about that."
Give 'em a Speech
Coach Jack Barnaby has also been worried about how to psyche the team. "They're not up as much as I'd like them to be." he said. "I guess I'll give them a speech telling them it would be pretty stupid to foul up a brilliant season like this with a less to Yale."
Beyond its psychological advantage. Yale has several individuals who could surprise Harvard. The Bulldogs beat a strong Williams team, 6-3, and Army, 8-1. On the other hand, they were humiliated by Wesleyan, 5-4, and Amherst, 7-2.
The Eli are strongest at the top four positions. Number one is sophomore Graham Arader who has advanced from fourth place during the season. The Bulldogs have experience at the two and three positions with captain Jay Bryan and junior Bob Stevens. Yale has thus far been weak beyond number four, and considering Harvard's depth, that should be a fatal flaw.
