NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For the fourth consecutive year, a Harvard man has captured the National Intercollegiate Squash Racquets Championship. This year it is Richard M. Dorson '37, Captain of the squash team.

In a nip and tuck fight, in which the last point of the last game could have thrown victory one way or another, Dorson nosed out Bernard Ridder of Princeton, 15-5, 12-15, 8-15, 15-7, 18-17.

Behind two games to one, Dorson pulled the fourth game out of the fire to even the match. He went into the lead in the last game, but never by more than three or four points. Ridder, by remarkable playing, evened the game at seventeen all, but Dorson took the last point. Germain G. Glidden '36, who won last year, did not defend his title.
