The best swordsmen in the University will assemble tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Fencing Room of the Indoor Athletic Building to battle for the championship in foil, sabre, and epee. Preliminary bouts were held all the first part of last week in all classes, unusual interest making it necessary that three separate strips be run off to get to the finals, which were postponed until tomorrow.
The University foil matches tomorrow will probably furnish as fine a spectacle of close fencing competition as has been seen in Cambridge this year, since all six of the competitors are closely matched and about equally favored. M. U. Copland 3L and H. B. Wesselman 1L are the only contestants outside the College, and seem to bid strongly for the foils title. Both whitewashed their opponents in the preliminaries with little difficulty, but they have as yet to meet in the finals two members of this year's University team who are expected to provide plenty of resistance, Gilbert Kerlin '33 and G. M. Yatsevitch '33.
The sabre bouts also will feature only one swordsman outside of the University team, J. F. Varian 3L. J. G. Hurd '34, R. B. Lawson '32, and H. P. Walker '33 are the other sabre artists in this class, and it seems that it will be a case of a close fight between Lawson and Walker, although Steele, who is an unknown quantity, may show his mettle when placed against worthy opposition. Lawson placed second in the sabre in the Intercollegiate Individual Fencing Championships in New York on Monday.
