I was a chemistry grad student at Princeton 1962-67 (Ph.D. *67) and got to see Bradley play for three years, definitely numero uno. I was also glad to see Cosmo Iacavazzi on the list because we saw him play on the great teams football teams of that era.
However, no mention of squash players from the ’60s who were top-notch, at least in that era. I only played squash once, with my lab-mate with a borrowed racquet, and he killed me, but I have great respect for the game (and played handball instead on the squash courts).
Princeton had great teams and players. I remember one, Stephen Vehslage ’61, who also played pro and was written up in Sports Illustrated as being a great player but had the habit of passing out suddenly during games and having to stay on the floor for a few minutes to regain consciousness, totally confounding his opponents.
