Matmen Beat Brown; Penn Downs Fencers

The Crimson wrestlers took a stronger grip on fourth place in Ivy standings Saturday when they defeated Brown, 19 to 11. Harvard picked up five wins, losing only three matches and tying one.

At 123 pounds, Tony Woodfield wrestled to a draw with Bruin John Fish, and at 130 George Doub downed Brown captain Gene Bouley. Nick Estabrook lost an 8-7 decision and Tom Hardesty was easily defeated by Brown's Delaney, but Harvard swept the next four matches. Heavyweight Tom Gaston fell to Bruin star Bill Wood, who is undefeated this year in dual matches.

Harvard's fencing team suffered an astounding 23-4 loss at the hands of Pennsylvania Saturday. The usually strong sabre squad won only three of nine bouts, two of them by All-Ivy candidate John Piel. The epee squad took but a single match and the foil team ended the disaster by losing every bout.

The fencing team's next match is at Trinity on Wednesday.
