Racquetmen Crush Green; Assistant Coach Honored

The Harvard men's squash team closed out its season in fine style yesterday, doing away with an impotent Dartmouth squad, 9-0, at Hemenway.

Crimson stalwarts Brad Desaulniers--who ordinarily plays in the number one position--and Chip Robie (no. 3) sat out the afternoon in an attempt to keep the score at a respectable level. But it was all to no avail.

Early and Often

The racquetmen hit early and often. Mitch Reese, normally the Crimson's number two man, successfully defended the premier slot from the efforts of the Green's Bob Bewey.

Geordie Lemmon, playing two notches up from his accustomed number four position, starred in a four-game battle against Dartmouth's talented Ned Mandel, dropping the first game but roaring back to take the final three stanzas.

Senior captain Clark Bain played some of his best squash ever in the last dual match of his Harvard career, as he silenced the overtures of his Green counterpart, 15-16, 15-9, 15-10, 15-10.

Another Crimson squash luminary made his farewell appearance yesterday. Before the match, the recquetmen said that they were dedicating the game to Mark Panarese, who is leaving the team after a three-year stint is assistant coach.

Neither Panarese nor nead coach Dave Fish was surprised at the shutout. "They just don't have the people to work with that we do," Fish offered. "They're drawing from the same pool that Yale and we are, and they just can't compete."

The most recent catches from that pool showed their stuff in a battle of freshmen at the number six position. Harvard's Jim Lubowitz preserved his unblemished record, posting a four-game victory over his Dartmouth counterpart.
