The varsity fencing team will attempt to avenge its 16 to 11 less to Yale last year in the I.A.B. today at 2 p.m.
If the Tetragonal Meet held on Feb. 19 with Navy. Princeton and Yale is any indication of the team's strength, however, the Crimson must stage an uphill fight. The fencers placed last behind Yale, and fell 15 to 12 in direct competition against the Eli.
The Crimson, whose greatest strength lies in the foil and epee, has no outstanding individuals on the squad. In order to win, the team must fence consistently in all events. This means that the sabre men, who have been weak all season, must improve over past showings.
Yale Captain Strong
In the foil Yale will rely on kriss Kiggi, captain, and 1955 foil champion in the Tetragonal Meet. He will fight crimson captain Paul Forand. Eli sabre and epee entries, however, are not individually strong.
The freshman team, also meeting Yale today, will base its strength on its foil. Captain Pete Boyce, Mike Klapper and Eugene Lew have excellent records in this event. The rest of the team is well balanced, with Doug Runnels powerful in sabre.
Varsity fencers enter this contest with a 2 and 4 record, including two 14 to 13 losses, whiles the freshman record stands at 2 and 2.
