FENCING TEAM IN CHAMPIONSHIP

The University fencing team will take part in the final bouts for the championship of the Intercollegiate Fenciing Association at the Hotel Astor, New York, next Friday and Saturday evenings. The University will be represented by T. J. Putnam '15, A. Shortt '17, B. S. Nichols '16, and A. B. D. de Kay '16, substitute.

Harvard and Yale were left in the Northern Disivion in the trials held at the Harvard Club of Boston on March 20, when the University won 15 out of 18 bouts. Columbia and Cornell will represent the Central Division, and the Naval Academy and the University of Pennsylvania the Southern Division.

The University team this season has victories to its credit from all the teams except the Navy, to whom it lost 7-2. Although this year's team has an altogether new personnel from last year's, it is fully as strong, if not stronger and should make a very creditable showing. Columbia has won the championship for the last two years but so far this year her team has shown poor form and is not considered as having championship ability.

Medals will be awarded the members of the winning team and the fencer on any team who wins the most bouts will be declared the individual intercollegiate champion.
