Squash is again the most popular sport of the winter season among Freshmen, according to figures released yesterday. Basketball and crew are second on the list of athletics pursued by first year men in fulfilling their physical training requirement.

Track, which held second place in the popularity of the Class of 1932, has shown a marked decrease. There are now only 80 men electing track as compared with 106 last season. Basketball and crew which attracted 99 each last year have now advanced to 113 and 112 respectively. The classes in special corrective exercise show a registration of 92, slightly less than a year ago and considerably less than the year preceding. Swimming has become more popular, having 87 participants. Boxing and handball are close together on the list, with 59 and 58, respectively, while wrestling follows next with 40 men. Hockey is eleventh with 19 candidates and is closely followed by hiking. There are a few men taking gymnastic work and five men are playing polo. Nine have undertaken managerships to fulfill their requirement.

In all there are 909 Freshmen taking part in 15 athletic activities. Last year 900 first year men were engaged in winter athletics, while the year preceding there were but 852.
