Squish

In the early spring 1967,
Tim Hagwood and I found
ourselves in the Glass Hat, as a
reprieve from study. Tim
purchased a cup of coffee and
we seated ourselves near the
main door and talked for a
while. The conversation
quickly converged on the
quality, rather the lack of,
which the coffee attempted to
manifest. For some reason,
Tim started stuffing napkins
into the remainder of his
coffee, and then proceeded to
play with the inundated ball
of napkin. This naturally led
to a discourse on sports at the
University, and soon an
inspiration struck Squish.
