Lest you get the impression he
is merely shooting off his mouth,
let me explain that Cornell has
been clacking swords since 1923
and was a star performer on
fencing teams in high school and
college. He has even studied the
sport abroard and passed up a
chance to be on the 1886 Olym-
pics team to take a part in a
Broadway show.

for poise and posture" he said.

In a moment we were choosing
weapons. Meanwhile he assured
me that he had only seen two
fencers badly hurt, one run
throuh the neck and the other
through the arm. Hmmmmm, l
thought. l asked him what was
the matter with his finger, which
was bandaged.
"Oh, that happened last week
when the villain in this picture
took swipe at me but didn't
miss" he said. 1.-The finger was
hacked down to the bone" He
showed other cuts and decorations
on his hands.
With some trepidation, l be-
began the lesson. Cornell ex-
planned that a good part of fenc-
ing consists of beating off your
opponents attempts to ventilate
you. He demonstrated by having
me slash at him. My saber whiSh-
cd through the air but he stopped
each blow before it reached him.
If he hadn't, l think Columbia
