...varsity squash team, after suffering a first round defeat in the national team championships this weekend, rebounded to top a weak Dartmouth squad, 8 to 1, yesterday afternoon at Hemenway gymnasium. Only captain Charlie Hamm, playing at first singles in place of the injured Gerry Emmet, lost in a four game match to Dick Hoehu...
Most of the victories were registered in convincing fashion. Playing at number two, captain Charlie Hamm defeated Ramsay Vehslage (Steve's older brother), 18-17, 15-13, 15-5. Also winning in straight games for the varsity were Pete Lund at number five, John Davis at six, and Tony Lake at nine. Only Lund had much difficulty in his match, downing Dave Brechner...

Below these two, Barnaby will have Tim Gallwey, Fred Vinton, Pete Lund, John Davis, Charlie Poletti, Wally Stimpson and Tony Lake rounding out one of the most balanced, powerful lineups he has ever put on a court. Of the seven men below Hamm and Emmet, almost one one of them could hold down the third position without greatly impairing the Crimson's effectiveness. However, the elements at Annapolis...
