FENCERS HAND YALE WORST DRUBBING IN TWO DECADES

Brua Wounds Opponent In Epee; Freshman Win, 17-10

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Rolling up their biggest score to date, the Varsity fencers handed Yale its worst defeat in two decades when they defeated the Elis last Saturday by a count of 21 to 6. At the same time, the Yardlings subdued the Yale Freshmen, 17 to 10.

In the first even, the foil, the swordsmen took first, second, and third place to win 8 to 1. Art Jares starred for the Crimson, overwhelmingly defeating Owre, Wachsman, and Hamilton of the Elis.

The second event, the eppe, was a much closer competition, Yale losing by only a 5 to 4 score. Lynn Brua '41 took individual honors in this, and, in the process, wounded Hausman of Yale, who had to have seven stitches taken in the right arm.

Led by Tim Wright, the Crimson once more hit the high spots, defeating the Elis in the sabre, 8 to 1. Wright and Win Alberts took all their bouts, while Bob Barr lost his last one, 5 to 4, to Steinberg of Yale.

Led by Captain Dick MacNeal, the Freshmen won the foil and sabre and lost the eppe to take their match, 17 to 10. Al Rockwood starred for the Yardlings in the foils, Harry Cooledge in the sabre. In the epee, Yale had the edge all the way, although Bob Zaugg and Mike Olmsted acquitted themselves nobly. Zaugg succeeded in beating Captain Shannon of Yale, before then, the Crimson's nomesis.
