Fencing News.

The University fencing squad of ten men is now holding daily practice at the B. A. A. under the direction of Pianelli, the B. A. A. instructor. Fencing for novices also takes place at the Gymnasium every Monday and Friday from 4 to 6.

On February 7 the B. A. A. will hold an open junior competition, in which the entire University squad is entered. It is now hoped that the match with Columbia scheduled for February 14 at Cambridge may be postponed so as not to interfere with the B. A. A. games. On February 20 the team will compete with Cornell at Ithaca, and a petition is now before the Athletic Committee to allow the team to hold a match with Yale at New Haven on March 7. On March 27 and 28, the intercollegiate meet will take place at New York, when the trophy of the Intercollegiate Fencing Association will be competed for. Thus far Harvard has won six out of nine such meets.
