TRIPLE TIE in
COLLEGE FENCING
Harvard, Yale and Navy
Each Win Seven Bouts
in Tourney.

Harvard, Yale and tho Navy wers
tied for the lead when the preliminary
round of the intercollegiate fencing
championships was completed at th'
Hotel Aston last night.
Each had won seven and lost fivs
bouts. Columbia had six victories and
six defeats to its credit, Cornell five
victories and seven defeats, and Penn
sylvania four victories and eight de-
feats.
The struggle for individual honor,
began as keenly as that fol- the team
trophy, and FIVE men were tied with
four bouts won and none lost
The Ave were Phiger, Of Yalsi Mo.
quin, Of Columbia, Van Buskirk, OF
Pennsylvania; Putnam, OF Harvard. and
Particle, of the Navy.
In all, thirty-six bouts were COM
pleted with the foils, leaving ninety
nine TO be finished Six bouts were
fought with the sabres, Gibson, OF CO.
lumbia, and Headlee, Of the Navy, each
winning two.
The strength Of the Yale and Hsr-
ward teams was the cause OF great sur
Prise. but not so much as that elected
by the apparent weakness Of the Navy
trio, which on past performances
seemed we'll nigh invincible.
Nichols, of Harvard, and White, OF
the Navy, fought through four extra
periods in the most exciting bout OF
the night. The Navy man won by one
point. the score being 20 to 10. The
pair was nearly exhausted.
Nichols lost bout earlier in the
evening through fine piece Of sports
manship. He acknowledge touch by
White. of Cornell, which ne''her Of the
Judges saw. The Ithacsn wanted to
disclaim it, but Nichols refused to go
on until it was scored. The final tally
showed the bout q draw, and White
won the fence-of.
