Morris Clothier will be inducted into the United States Squash Hall of Fame on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The ceremony will occur at a special luncheon at noon at the Arlen Specter ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Center in Philadelphia.

Clothier is considered the greatest amateur right-wall doubles player in U.S. squash history dating back to the invention of doubles in 1907. He was National Doubles champion in 1993, 1994 and 1995 (with Jon Foster), 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 (with Erik Vlcek) and 2002 and 2005 (with Gary Waite). Only one player in men’s doubles history, Hall of Famer Diehl Mateer, has ever won more National Doubles titles. Clothier also won the National Mixed with Joyce Davenport in 1993 and the Canadian National Doubles in 1996 and 2001 (with Vlcek) and in 2007 (with Scott Stoneburgh).

Growing up in Philadelphia, Clothier was a top singles player. For five years he played on the varsity at Haverford School, which at the time was the top interscholastic team in the nation. He went 90-6, with all six losses coming against collegiate teams. He was inducted into the Haverford School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2023 and the 1982-83 team, which he led, was inducted in 2006.

At Franklin & Marshall, Clothier played No.1 all four years and was a first team All American each season. He compiled a career record of 54-15 and led the Diplomats to a No.2 ranking in 1987. He was inducted into the F&M Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992 and the 1984-85 Dips men’s squash team, which recorded first-ever victories over Yale and Princeton, was inducted in 2025. Clothier captained both the Haverford and F&M teams. Twice Clothier reached the semifinals of the National Singles.

Off the court, Clothier has been a pivotal figure for the past thirty years. He was a longtime chair of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Doubles Committee, helped found the National Parent & Child Championships and played a central role in the development of the pro doubles tour. In 2008 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ honored Clothier with its highest annual award, the President’s Cup.

The U.S. Squash Hall of Fame was founded in 2000 at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. In 2006 it moved to Yale’s Payne Whitney Gymnasium. After sixteen years in New Haven, it relocated back to Philadelphia in April 2022 when the elegant Peggy & Leo Pierce Family U.S. Squash Hall of Fame space opened at the Arlen Specter ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Center. With the additions of Clothier, McKay and Mudge, there will be seventy-four members of the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame.
