 New York, Oct. 22.-There is a pos sibiltty that the ter-Coliegiafe Fenc- ing Association will admit to it's mem bership such colleges of the Middle West and West as may desire to en- roll fencing teams.
 This matter has been under consid- eration for a long time, and it is ex% pected that at the next meeting of the association. plans will be completed for bringing in the teams that hereto fore have been denied admission. One of the great difficulties with admitting these teams is the long distances which will have to be travelled in connection with schedules. The Association now includes, Yale, Harvard Columbia, West Point, Annapolis Pennsylvania. Princeton, Cornell and Massachusetts, Institute of Technology.
 The annual meeting will probably be held this year during the Thanks giving holidays instead of at New Years as has been customary.
