The undefeated Harvard squash team meets McGill here at 2 p.m. today, and the Canadians could be tougher than any team the Crimson has faced this year.

Drawing its players from its graduate and undergraduate schools, McGill usually gives the Crimson a close match. Harvard did not schedule McGill last year, and McGill's notable number one man Collin Adair has graduated, so Harvard Coach Jack Barnaby can only guess the Montreal school's strength.

Peter Martin is certain to play first in Adair's old spot. Martin is a hard hitting player, who should be able to hit with Harvard's Anil Nayar. He was runner-up to the Crimson's third man Jose Gonzales in last year's National Junior Squash Championships.

McGill probably won't have much power below number one. A few promising players. Adair's and Martin's younger brothers and Gavin, who beat Harvard's Michel Scheinmann in the National Juniors last year, should play in the middle of the line-up.

Harvard, on the other hand, is confident that its racquetmen will win, even without its regular fourth and eighth men. Captain Craig Stapleton, missing at the Amherst win, will still be in Denver, Scheinmann, who will play number eight, is travelling to Philadelphia this weekend with freshmen Fernando Gonzales and Larry Terrell for the National Juniors.

Terrell should win the Juniors. He has entered with a top seed for the past four years and narrowly missed each time, usually losing to a Harvard freshman.
