The Crimson racketmen will try to avenge their last league loss to Princeton and keep a faint hope for a share of the Ivy title when they do battle with a powerful Quaker team in Philadelphia this afternoon.
The team's hopes, dampened by its 7-2 lose to the Tigers, were sparked last weekend when it advanced to the semi-finals of the National Men's Team Squash Championships in New York.
Close Match
Coach Jack Barnaby predicted yesterday the meet would be extremely close. "Penn lost to Princeton by about the same margin as we did. They also have the advantage of the home court which can make the difference in the meet."
Harvard will miss the services of Timmy Morgan in today's match. Morgan sprained his arm earlier in the week and will not be playing.
Captain Peter Baser will hold down the number one slot as he will try to take the sting out of his losses against Princeton and at the Men's Team Championships. Bill Kaplan will follow at the number two post. Dick Cashin rounds out the top three as he tries to replicate his win against the Tigers' third man at Penn.
Fred Fischer, described by Barnaby as "outstanding" after his performance last weekend in New York will hold the fourth position. No. 5 man will be Peter Havens, followed by Jeff Weigand, Steve Mead, Cass Sunstein, and sophomore Dave Evans.
"This is a pretty solid team and the meet can avalanche either way depending on how strong the home advantage is." Barnaby said.
