FENCERS HOPEFUL FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE TITLE

In the last dual meet of the season, the University fencing team clinched the championship of the northern half of the Intercollegiate Fencing League by defeating the Yale foilsmen 5-4 in Hemenway Gymnasium on Saturday. This victory qualifies the team for the intercollegiate team tournament to begin on April 3, and two of the men for the individual tournament. Captain E. H. Lane '24, with twenty-seven victories, and his brother, E. L. Lane with twenty-five victories and two defeats to his credit, will try to better their, performance last year when Davenport of Yale nosed them out for the championship. After the University meet on Saturday, the 1927 team ended the first season of Freshman fencing at the University with a 5-4 victory over the Yale 1927 team.

Captain E. H. Lane '24 was the star of the University outfit. Touched only four times by his three opponents, he kept his perfect record intact and made the Harvard victory possible. E. L. Lane was beaten in his last bout with Elwell of Yale, and Roland Fleer '24 lost all three of his bouts. It was when Captain E. H. Lane of the University met Captain Huntington of Yale, that the issue of the meet was really decided. Although the score was 5-2, the fighting was very close and if Lane can duplicate this performance on Thursday, he should prove to be the most serious contender for the intercollegiate title.

After the foils bouts, the Yale epee team defeated the University swordsmen, 3-1. Brown of Yale won both his bouts in short fashion.

Freshman Captain Wins

Captain Franklin Hollis '27 imitated Captain Lane of the University team, when, by winning all three of his bouts, he made it possible for the Harvard Freshman team to triumph over an experienced Yale 1927 outfit. He won by the closest of margins, but it was his victories which accounted for more than half of his team's total score.
