while the Cuban experts outclassed the
Americans with the saber and eFee.

for the successes Of the Fencers Club.
The most promising development or
the sport is found in the colleges. The
intercollegiate tournament was almost
a slear sweep for the representatives OF
the United States Naval Academy.
There was a record entry for the tour
nament, and many more colleges

fencing as a sport. The younger gen.
Grafton showed greater interest in
sabers, with which weapon the United
States was least successful In compet-
