DARTMOUTH MEN LUNCHEONS EVERY MONDAY NOON UNIVERSITY CLUB, CHICAGO
THE DARTMOUTH ALUMNI squash players, including E. E. "Laddie" Myers 'so, J.Dudley Pope '23, Henry L. Parker '26, CharlesB. Hill Jr. '31, John A. Wright Jr. '32, FrankJ. Wright '35, and Robert H. Raclin '40, completely dominated squash rackets play in the Chicago area this past season. The five-man Dartmouth Alumni team finished in second place in the Class A Chicago District Squash Racquets Association league. The members seemed to do better individually, however, on their own.
Dud Pope and Hank Parker were finalists for the District Singles Championship, Dud emerging victorious, making the sixth time he has won the title in the past ten years. Hank came back the next week and won the Senior Singles Championship of the District without losing a game. Charlie Hill and Hank Parker teamed up to win their second consecutive title as District Doubles Champions.
Hank, Charlie and John Wright represented the Dartmouth Alumni Squashers in the Western Squash Racquets Association tournaments held at Minneapolis in January and won the Three-man Team Championship. The same three players were on the five-man team that represented the Chicago District in the national team tournament held at Detroit in February. Dud Pope played in the National Senior Singles tournament at the same time but was defeated in the quarter finals by the ultimate winner.
It is rumored that the boys' success is largely due to their "religious" attendance at the Sunday morning clinics held on the squash courts of the New Trier High School in. Winnetka, followed by beer and chips at either Charlie Hill's or Hank Parker's house. Any visiting squashers looking for a workout should get in touch with any of the above.
Ken Montgomery '25 went and did it in a big way in Washington, D. C. recently. He is presently honeymooning with his wife, the former Mrs. Lucile Hassell Harris, in Bermuda, which you will all recall is a fairly pleasant place in the Spring. Whit Campbell'26 was one of those described in the Chicago Press as "a small circle of friends present at a wedding breakfast in the Mayflower Hotel following the ceremony." Whit returned, after the Mayflower party, to his law office on LaSalle Street, where he is a partner in the important firm of Taylor, Miller, Busch & Boyden. Ken, himself, will be back practicing law in Chicago soon and will live in Winnetka with his new wife and her two young boys, aged 4 and 6.
