West Point Won Fencing Meet

West Point won the Intercollegiate Fencing tournament, held in New York Friday and Saturday, by a score of 31 bouts won and 11 lost. The University team won second place, through its remarkably good work in the finals. In the preliminary round Harvard and Pennsylvania were tied for fifth place, but in some extra bouts Harvard defeated Pennsylvania, and thus qualified for the final round of the tournament, in which only the five teams winning the greatest number of bouts in the preliminaries were allowed to enter. The finals were in the form of a round robin tournament. E. O. Dickenson and F. E. Williford, both of West Point, were tied for the individual championship. Yale was not represented in the meet.

The total scores were as follows:   Won.  Lost. West Point  31  11 Harvard  23  19 Annapolis  22  20 Columbia  19  23 Cornell  16  26 Pennsylvania  7  11 Princeton  5  13
