In their first match outside the League this year, the varsity Squash team defeated the Hope Club of Providence on Saturday afternoon, taking three matches out of five. The meet marked the opening of the Agawam Country Club Courts, just outside of Providence.

In the feature game of the day, Arnold Jones, former tennis captain at Yale, defeated Robert Grant '34 mainly through his well-executed shots. Grant was a bit wild, and seemed to be unable to get a grip on his game. In a long, hard-fought squash match, S. E. Davenport, III '34 wore down his opponent, Phinney, and finally pulled ahead to take the fifth game. Captain J. G. Cornish ocC, lost to the generally superior playing of Harrington, former Harvard player, and member of the Boston squash team that played against the English team in the internationals. The last two matches were taken by the Varsity quite easily, although H. V. Blaxter, Jr. '33, let down dangerously in the middle of his match.

The Freshman C team played St. Paul's over the week-end barely defeating a well balanced team, three to two.

In the regular League matches, the University scored two wins and met with one defeat. The B team lost to the Harvard Club, two to three, and the Freshman D team won from the Newton Y.M.C.A., four to one, and Dunster House defeated the M.I.T. Freshman D team
