weeks He was closely pressed bv
Lingo, who will make an especially

senting the New York Athletic Club.
The sailor lads are picked to win this
years tournament, due to their STEADY
work in the preliminaries. Corpe II
was the only team that succeeded in
trailing the middits' colors, and that
victory was by single bout. As a
result of the triangular meet Sstur-
day University of Pennsylvania also
qualified for the finals of the tourua-
ment.
The midiies beat the Quakers out
by the narrow margin of one bout,
while the representatives of Pitts
burgh University, the third entrant,
did not win single bout. There
were 27 bouts in all, and the middies
won Ia. against i 8 for Pennsylvania.
According to the original program,
Princeton was to have been the fourth
entrant in the semi-fnals, but the.
Tigers forfeited because they did not
prepare team this year, and in their
stead, Pittsburgh, a new member of
the association, entered.
The lads from the Smoky City
plainy showed that they have not de-
veloped much skill with the blade in
the short time that they have been en-
gage ! in fencing, and were decisively
defeated in practically all of their
bouts. The fight between Pennsylva-
MIA and Navy was extremely close,
the middies beating the Quakers by s
to 4. In dual meet a few weeks
