CLASS 'B" SQUASH STANDING
By Jack Masters

j
The Yale Club continued its march
to the team championship of the Ma
ticnal Squash Tennis Association by
decisively defeating the Harvard Club
in the opening of the second round of
play in Class 3 at the Bulldog courts
yesterday afternoon. The score was six
games to one, F. S. Whitlock being the
only Crimson racquet wielder to
emerge with a victory.
The tie for second place in the league
standing was unbroken, as both the
Columbia and Crescents clubs won
their contests, Columbia scoring a 6
to 1 triumph over the Tiger players,
and Crescent making a sweep over the
Army and Navy representatives.
The resumption of play yesterday
was marked by the increased strength
of the various teams, many Class A
men displacing their eliminates in the
tion does not rule against mixed play,
the clubs had agreed that player who
had competed in the Glass A tourna-
menst would not be eligible for Class
B, but yesterday this agreement was
squashed and as result competition
was unusually keen.
Thomas Coward and Joseph Walker
jr.. top notchers on the Yale ranking
list, took the court under the new
agreement, the former winning with
ease from F. S. Ritchie, of Harvard,
and the latter losing to F. S. Whitlock,
Harvard Class A player. The Whit
lock- Walker tussle was thriller from
start to finish, first one, then the other,
leading by narrow margin. The
final score was 15--11, 10-15, 15-12.
L.. A,.,-
weeks has mo1rd from twentieth to
tenth place in the ranking of the Yale
club. again upset the dope by defeat
ing Murray Taylor, one Of Harvard's
best players. Cooney weighs about 23O
pounds and appeared quite awkward
alongside the trim little Harvard man,
but the big fellow has an uncanny way
Of getting about the court, and
although he was guilty Of many "lets,"
Taylor could not fathom his style and
went down to defeat in straight sets.
