SQUASH

This was a good season for Coach Red Hoehn's racketeers. They came up with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, which is a respectable performance indeed. The tenman team posted wins over MIT, Army, Trinity, Wesleyan, and Williams, and dropped their matches with Yale, Harvard, and Amherst. The boys would have liked to win the Amherst match and almost did so, after being nosed out by a meager two points. Yale and Harvard are something else again in this sport, and the best the Green could hope for this year was a good showing in that kind of competition. Something, by the way, which they received.

Four of Dartmouth's squash players entered the national intercollegiate tournament at Amherst on March 10. Captain Tommy Ringe, who was president of the NISA this year, went to the quarter-finals where he lost to Hugh Scott of Princeton. Bill Fisher, Rick Austin and Hunter White of the Green squad were all eliminated in the opening round. Coach Red Hoehn, secretary-treasurer of the National Intercollegiate Squash Association, was reelected to that post for 1950-51.

Especially gratifying to Coach Hoehn this year was the development of several of the men on the team. Starting the season with only three lettermen, the balance of the group had to be developed almost from scratch, with some of the boys having very little previous experience. To watch the development of ability where it was hitherto only latent is one of the most gratifying experiences of a coach—or a teacher. The squash team this year played that kind of role.
