Debevoise, who has had a slump lately, having lost his last two matches, seems to have found himself again. Dixon also has not been up to scratch as was shown in the semi-final match with Harrington which he won only by a narrow margin. But Debevoise had the edge on him yesterday, and with confident strokes he took point after point from his opponent. His back-hand served him to good advantage. Dixon appeared to be unable to cope with it or with his opponent's low shots. His usual steadiness was lacking...

In squash circles, but his recent close match with Carroll Harrington in the College tournament gives indication of a slight decline. However, it is expected that the Harvard captain will be in top form and as steady as ever this afternoon. Wakefield is the University champion and ranks third in the state list. He and Dixon have not played each other...
...College Squash Tournament reached the finals yesterday, when W. P. Dixon '25 defeated Carroll Harrington '24, 11-15, 15-12, 12-15, 18-17, 15-9, and G. D. Debevoise '26 defeated J. J.

Harrington put up a hard fight to overcome the University Captain and at times Dixon was pressed for points. Debevoise did not have so much trouble with his opponent, but Glessner secured one game.
