Squashmen Make It 29, Massacre Williams, 8-1

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Let's see now. The Crimson squash team's 8-1 win over Williams yesterday makes it 29 in a row over the last three years for the team. It was their ninth consecutive win this year.

Crimson players have won 71 of their 81 individual matches with opponents in intercollegiate competition. And there are still three raquetmen left undefeated.

These three showed the way as the Crimson breezed past Williams in a trip to Williamstown. Captain and number one man Vic Niederhoffer, who hasn't lost to another college player in any match or tournament this season, drilled Mike Anniston in three straight.

At number eight, classy sophomore Dinny Adams kept up his string of 3-0 wins; John Francis, number eight man and hero of Harvard's come-from behind win over Princeton, won without trouble.

Only number three man John Vinton dropped a match yesterday; the other Crimson players had little troube. Romer Holleran (number two), Terry Robinson (four), Bill Morris (five), Al Terrell (six), and John Thorndike (seven) all won without difficulty.

The squash team's only remaining match of the season comes this Saturday against a Yale team that has been surprisingly bad all season long. The Elis have lost to Princeton and, amazingly, to Penn and Cornell; they will finish outside the top three teams for the first time in the history of Ivy League squash.

Except for captain Bryce Appleton, the Elis' roster is staffed largely with sophomores up from a freshman team that took a 7-2 drubbing from the Crimson freshmen last year.

After the Yale match, a five-man team takes off for Dartmouth during the first week in March to play in the National Intercollegiate Championships. Harvard might, surprisingly, have some trouble winning the team title this year--the team standings depend almost exclusively on the luck of the draw.
