 Other players included Len Bernheimer, a top ranked amateur who previously played in college at Williams, Roger Alcaly, and Bill Kaplan, the recent captain of Harvard's varsity squash team.The U.S. team was a heavy underdog, because none of the players had ever played any competitive softball squash, which is played on a wider court with a higher tin on the front wall and a much slower ball.Nevertheless, the U.S. team managed to earn a Silver Medal by upsetting both England and Australia before losing to South Africa in the finals.
