The Hobart College
squash team comes
into the 2004-05
season with its sights
set high after a recordbreaking
season last
year.
The Statesmen
posted their most
successful campaign in
the program’s 38
seasons, setting a new
mark for wins in a
season (15-9), earning
a best-ever 10th place
finish at the College
Squash Association
Team Championships,
and capturing the
inaugural Liberty
League Championship.
Returning all but one player from last
year’s starting lineup, the Statesmen are
favored to defend their Liberty League
title and have the potential to crack the
top-10 this season.
Leading the way at the top spot for
Hobart will be senior Tejvir Rathore.
Coming into the season ranked 34th
among all college squash players, Rathore
posted an 18-9 record at No. 1 and earned
the Liberty League’s Performer of the Year
award.
Sophomore Prateek Patni returns to
the No. 2 position after garnering firstteam
All-Liberty League honors a year ago
with an impressive 5-1 record against
conference opponents.
The Statesmen also welcome back
seniors Henry Clutsam, Freddy Cook,
and Andrew Scott, junior Gavin
Johnstone-Butcher, and sophomore
Tucker Crockett from last year’s starters.
Cook had a breakout year in 2003, posting
a 17-7 record, while Clutsam was
outstanding for the Statesmen as well with
a team-best mark of 19-9 in the middle
part of the lineup. Crockett led all Hobart

SEASON OUTLOOK
Senior Andrew Scott will anchor the middle of the lineup for the
Statesmen this season after posting a 13-11 record at the No. 4 and
No. 5 positions last year.
rookies last year with a 17-7 record,
playing primarily at No. 6.
Looking to break into the starting nine
this season are junior MikeTien and
sophomores Andrew McDonough and
Brian Shiver. Each saw limited time in
2003, but have shown improvement in
the off-season and could anchor the
bottom of Hobart’s lineup.
As in years past, the Statesmen will
face a tough schedule in 2004-05. Hobart
will open the season with weekend
matches against Navy, Denison, Northwestern,
and George Washington. The
following week, the Statesmen will try to
defend their title at the Liberty League
Championships. Hobart also will travel to
play six-time national champion Trinity
College, and will host perennial powers
Yale and Dartmouth as well as strong
squads in Williams, Amherst, and
Franklin & Marshall.
Led by 10th-year Head Coach Carol
Weymuller (94-90, .511), the Statesmen
are ranked 11th in the preseason poll and
are looking to make that final jump into
the top-10.

HOBART COLLEGE
SENIORS
HENRY CLUTSAM
New Vernon, N.J., Blair Academy
A first-team All-Liberty League selection in 2004, Clutsam
returns to anchor the middle of the Hobart lineup after
posting a team best 19-9 record last season. His consistency
and composure on the court allow him to win the close
matches.
FREDDY COOK
Greenwich, Conn., St. George’s School
One of the hardest working players on the team, Cook has
continued to improve over the past three years. An intense
competitor, his play keeps his opponent off balance and
always guessing. The Statesmen will look to Cook as an
emotional leader this season.
COLMAN CURRIE
London, England, St. George’s School
Currie joins the Hobart squash team after a two-year hiatus.
A rangy athlete, he moves well around the court and will
impact the bottom of the Statesmen lineup. Also a member
of the tennis team for three seasons, he helped Hobart capture
the Liberty League title last year.
WILL LAWRENCE
Manhasset, N.Y., Manhasset
A newcomer to the Hobart squash team, Lawrence will spend
the beginning of the season adapting to the college game.
He has the ability, however, to earn a chance to play in the
bottom half of the lineup in the latter part of the year.
TEJVIR RATHORE
Indore, M.P. India, Daly College
Hobart’s top player for the past three seasons, Rathore is a
talented all-around player. The 2004 Liberty League Player
of the Year, he excels at drops and constantly keeps his
opponent running. Rathore is ranked among the top-35
players in the country and boasts a career record of 44-25.

STATESMEN SQUASH
SENIOR/JUNIORS
ANDREW SCOTT
Dorset, Vt., St. George’s School
Anchoring the middle of the lineup during the 2003-04
season, Scott enters 2004-05 after a strong offseason. Posting
a 13-11 record last year, he has the potential to move up to
the top third of the lineup this season.
ANDREW CHILDS
Buffalo, N.Y., Nichols School
After showing improvement during his first two seasons,
Childs has the potential to earn a spot in the starting nine.
TIM FRAZIER
Rumford, R.I., Bishop Hendricken
Joining the team in 2004-05, Frazier will spend much of the
season honing his squash skills. A talented athlete, he could
see time in the bottom half of the lineup later in the season.
GAVIN JOHNSTONE-BUTCHER
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, St. Paul’s School
A strong and versatile athlete, Johnstone-Butcher has been
a fixture at the top of Hobart’s lineup the past two seasons.
An outstanding two-sport athlete, he also has excelled on
the water as a member of the Hobart crew team.
MIKE TIEN
Baltimore, Md., Towson
Making great strides in his game over the past two years,
Tien is expected to break into the starting lineup this year
after sitting out his sophomore season.

The Dr. Frank P. Smith ’36
Squash Center was dedicated on
October 3, 1998, during a ceremony
at the HWS Sport and
Recreation Center. The five international
courts reflect the commitment
of Hobart and William
Smith to the future of the game.
The courts are wider — 21 feet
for international play, as opposed
to 18.5 feet for the hardball game.
The Statesmen use the state-ofthe-art
strength training equipment
available in the Sport and
Recreation Center’s exercise
room. The facility’s strength and
cardiovascular equipment also
enhances the sports medicine
staff’s rehabilitation capacity.
