The Union League Club proved to be generous hosts to the British Army Team playing its second of eight matches with New York area clubs during a 13-day tour organized by New York Squash. They provided beer, whites and friendly sport. Too friendly perhaps as they dropped eight of nine matches in the British 8-1 victory. Many matches were close and the play was spirited.

The British continue their adjustment to New York and have an advantage of long workouts at a secret site known only as the “Junction.” NY Squash, in need of additional courts has been assured that the site will be disclosed at the end of the tour.

Andrew Scott, a NY Squash board member filled in for an injured British player and, though offered substantial inducements to lose the match, defeated his Union League Club opponent. This gesture of fine sportsmanship will no doubt be rewarded by additional assignments at the next NY Squash board meeting.
