Basketball, Hockey, Squash Teams Victorious

The varsity squash team defeated Navy on Saturday 6 to 3 in a match Coach Jack Barnaby called "one of the finest since I've been here."

Ben Heckscher, Pete Milton, and Cal Place, the Crimson's first three players, defeated what Barnaby called "one of the best tries Navy has ever had." Heckscher, a junior, and rated by his coach the best college player in the country, completely dominated the court against the Middies' first man, Tom Lynch, defeating him, 15-7, 15-2, and 15-6.

The Harvard star played so brilliantly that Lynch was kept guessing all the time and could never gain his balance.

Second man and captain Pete Milton won most of the key points against Navy's Don Clarke to take his match, 15-14, 15-10, 16-17, and 18-16. Milton, who ranked seventh on the squad last year, has improved tremendously, Barnaby said.

In fine early season form, the Crimson's third man, Cal Place, decisively outplayed John Clearwater, wrapping the contest up in three games, 15-10, 15-10, and 18-16.

Harvard's next three men, however, could not outlast their well conditioned Navy opponents. Tied at 14 all in the fourth game, Lee Folger faltered and lost to John Griffiths, 12-15, 15-13, 15-9, and 17-15. Both Marty Heckscher and Charlie MacVeagh extended the Middies' Jim Hogg and Mike Gluse, ranked five and six respectively, to five games. MacVeagh lost by one point, 9-15, 17-16, 15-12, 17-16, and 17-16, while Heckscher, soundly beaten in the last two games, bowed, 12-15, 18-17, 11-15, 15-5, and 15-7.

But the last three Crimson players completed Harvard's revenge of last year's defeat. Roger Cortesi at seven, won 11-15, 15-17, 15-8, 15-10, and 15-14. Dwight Davis's unusual style confused Cortesi in the first two games, Barnaby said.

Eighth and ninth men, Laney Thomas and Larry Sears, defeated Dick Hanson and Jack Collins of the Naval Academy. Sears took his contest in straight games
