Challenge from West Point

A challenge from West Point has been received by the fencing team and will be accepted if satisfactory arrangements can be made. Mr. J. P. Parker '96, a member of the winning teams of 1894, 1895 and 1896, has been appointed head coach. A squad has been formed from the most promising candidates which will fence at the Boston Athletic Association every day under the instruction of M. Pianelli. This squad is now composed of T.D. Roberts '03, F. W. Palfrey 4M., H. W. Holmes '03, C. D. Burchenal '02, R. M. Henderson '02 and H. C. Barber 2L., but changes in it are probable. These men will be under the constant supervision of the head coach. The practice under M. Jacques in the Ware Hall Gymnasium will be continued on Monday and Friday evenings until about the first of March. This practice is designed to bring out and develop new men.
