ANNAPOLIS. Md, March 19.-In a set
Of twenty-seven bouts, which were at
times sluggish, but which for the most
part showed determination on all sides
to win. Navy and the University of Penn
sylvania this afternoon at the academy
qualified for the finals of the intercollegi-
ate fencing tournament in New York next
week. Columbia was the lowest team.
and Princeton, scheduled to enter, was
scratched at the final minute and did not
show up.
Navy easily captured the contest, win
ming thirteen and losing five bouts, while
the Quakers bested the Morningside lads
when they won eight and lost ten. Co.
lumbia lost all chance at the finals when
she only captured six of her eighteen
bouts.
The feature Of the series OF bouts was
the work Of Wendell, the left-handed cap
tain OF the Quaker team, whose attacks
and parties, like that of all left-handers,
proved q puzzle to all Corners. He won
all six OF his bouts. although Scott of
the MILDLY team made him hustle before
winning after four fence-ons of the pairs
tie.
With Wendels clean score and Par
kers fair showing the Quakers would
have won handily had it not been for
the poor work of Peterson. who lost every
one Of his six contests.
Parker put up good fight with Scott,
when the two tied four times in success
sion in endeavoring to settle their bouts.
In the fence-off at the conclusion of
their regular bouts the MILDLY won. how
ever. OF the Sailors, Hall put up the
Ave of his contests. He dipped his col
ors only to Wendell. The showing Of
the Sailor team against this left-handed
Quaker has spread some fear in Navy
circles. as West Point is touted to have
certainly one and possibly two in her
wrong side.
