Richard C. Squires

Richard C. Squires is the author of Squash Tennis, a book listed by Project Gutenberg and remembered as a practical guide to the game. His writing stands out because it comes from deep firsthand experience rather than from the sidelines.

Sources about his sports career describe him as a national champion in squash tennis and platform tennis circles. The Platform Tennis Hall of Fame notes his broader role in racket sports as well, which helps explain why his book feels rooted in real competition, strategy, and long involvement with the game.

Although not much biographical material is easy to confirm online, the available record suggests a figure who was both an accomplished player and an advocate for lesser-known racket sports. For listeners interested in sports history, his work offers a direct link to a specialized game through the voice of someone who knew it well.
