LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
The ninth annual intercollegiate fencing tournament will be held in New York this afternoon and evening, in the rooms of the New York Athletic Club. Five colleges will be represented--Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell and Annapolis. There will be three men on each team and each man will fence with every other man, except those from his own college. Each contestant will thus have twelve bouts. The trophy, a bronze statue of a swordsman, three and one-half feet high, becomes the temporary property of the college winning the tournament each year. Harvard has won seven of the eight tournaments which have been held. H. Clapp 1Dn., and F. W. Hitchings 1M., of this year's team took part in the tournament last year; C. D. Burchenal '01, the third man, has had little previous experience.
