With the completion of the football and soccer seasons, several promising men have reported for the University squash squad. G. M. Laimbeer '26, a former St. Paul's School player, and P. R. Pease '26 were placed by Coach Harry Cowles on team C; and R. S. Wright '26, who has been playing soccer, was placed at No. 1 on team C. It is very probable however, that, as a result of several victories in test matches, Wright will play on team B against Newton tomorrow in place of J. M. Roots '25.

These efforts have met with failure. Squash, on the other hand, per force largely an informal sport and for the great majority of participants not organized on any basis of a team and regular attendance, has become more and more popular. Apparently the Harvard undergraduate is interested in a minor sport provided it is not over-organized. It might prove wise and profitable, carrying out this idea in other minor...
