Harvard's Fencers Gore Green, 19-8

Harvard's fencing squad wrought havoc on an inexperienced Dartmouth team Saturday, destroying the Big Green 19-8 at Hanover.

The epee and sabre units provided the winning margin, with Captain Gordon Rutledge of the sabre topping his opponent, 3-0, and Sam Anderson blanking his foe, 3-0.

Larry Tu, Michael Payne and Tom McMillian went 2-1, 1-1 and 0-1 respectively in the sabre.

John Hirshfield and Matt Simmons both won two bouts in the epee.

Philippe Bennett, the only man to come out above 500 in the foil unit, scored a 2-0 triumph over his opponent. John Major logged a 1-2 record, while Larry White and Nick Tepe notched 1-1 marks.

Rutledge called Dartmouth a weak team after the match. "They haven't reached parity with most of the teams in the Ivies," he said.
