Fencers Take On BU Today at IAB In Season Opener

The fencing team will be the last of the winter squads to get underway when it meets Boston University at 4 p.m. this afternoon in the Blockhouse.

Coach Rene Peroy's aggregation shapes up as an average team with the strength of the new sophomores still unknown.

Captain Win Overholser, who placed fourth in the N.C.A.A. championships last year, and Forrest Carter, top sabre man, are the only senior lettermen on the team. Four juniors and five first-year men comprise the rest of the team.

Two sophomores, Jan Jertson and Chris Martin are pushing for the number one position in the foils event; Jertson will probably start this afternoon.

The fencers will meet Wesleyan here Saturday and then face Army, Columbia, Princeton, and M.I.T. on the road before meeting Yale in the closing event here on March 10.
