National Squash Association Announces Rule Changes
The rules committee of the National Squash Association approves two major changes. Faults no longer cost a serve and a faulted return no longer ends a rally. Service that lands out of the receiving court must be replayed, and a serve hitting a side wall before the front wall no longer ends a rally. The changes apply to the national championship and handicap events in New York in January, with four clubs entering the Metropolitan Interclub league: Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and Heights Casino.
