Racket Sports

Elizabeth Howe Constable, known as Betty Constable, was an American pioneer of women's squash, born on 8 November 1924 in Natick, Massachusetts, and died on 9 September 2008 in Skillman, New Jersey. She was the first of twins, and her twin sister Peggy Howe White and her mother Margaret Howe were also women's national singles and doubles squash champions. In 1971 she began the first women's varsity squash team at Princeton University, where she was the first women's squash coach and where her career spanned twenty years. The Howe Cup team championship was renamed in honour of the three Howe women. She was inducted into the United States Squash Hall of Fame in 2000.
