...hard fought contest yesterday the newly formed University Squash Racquets team went down to defeat, 3-1, before the Union Boat Club's team.

Eldridge '21 who won the University's matched played a consistent game, and C. C. Peabody, the Boat Club captain, starred with his side-line shots. The brisk volleying of H. C.

...yesterday's game in the promotion of the things which make life in the United States worth while. Both teams were wached by an army of enthusiastic partisans who, because they so earnestly wished for the victory of their chosen team, became thereby better Americans and better citizens. The contest was intersectional. But deeper than the spirit of sectionalism was devotion to the nation, the feeling of national pride which gives to sectionalism its worth as a factor in the national life. The Pasadena game brought the East and the West closer together, and made each know the other better...
