The University fencing team auspiciously opened its season by defeating Bowdoin 8 to 1 in the Hemenway Gymnasium last night. Although the swordsmanship was not of mid-year form, the University men exceeded expectations in their performance, and a team of the first calibre is insured.
E. P. Hamilton '18, a more or less inexperienced man, fenced particularly well for the University, winning his first bout against H. L. Hargraves of Bowdoin and finally triumphing over J. E. Gray, Bowdoin, after two tie bouts. H. L. Hargraves won the only bout for Bowdoin, defeating G. L. Code '18 11 to 9. Captain W. H. Russell '18 is just recovering from a slight illness and took part in only one bout, which he won over J. E. Gray of Bowdoin.
Next week the University will meet Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Friday, and the Navy at Annapolis on Saturday.
The results of the individual bouts last night were as follows: B. S. Nichols '16 defeated H. L. Hargraves, 9 to 6; E. P. Hamilton '18 defeated J. E. Gray in the third bout, 4 to 3; G. L. Code '18 defeated S. L. Hanson, 8 to 5; E. P. Hamilton '18 defeated Hargraves, 16 to 9; G. L. Code '18 defeated Gray, 11 to 5; B. S. Nichols '16 defeated Hanson, 6 to 0; Hargraves defeated G. L. Code '18, 11 to 9; W. H. Russell '18 defeated Gray, 12 to 7; W. R. Hoskier '18 defeated Hanson, 9 to 8.
