CRIMSON FENCERS FAIL IN CHAMPIONSHIP QUEST

Yale again is holder of the three weapon fencing title, as a result of the Intercollegiate Fencing Association championships, held last Thursday and Friday in New York City. The Harvard team was unsuccessful in quest of the foils championship, although victor in several individual matches.

In the foils, Harvard was defeated by Yale, 6 to 3, and the Army, 5 to 4, while it won over Navy, 5 to 4, Cornell, 6 to 3, and Pennsylvania, 7 to 2. Although the team was tied with the Navy for third place, having won three and lost two matches, the Navy was given the position because it had lost only 15 bouts, in comparison with the Crimson's 20. Yale was the winner in this division, with the Army second. In the epee, Yale was victor, followed by Columbia, and in the sabre, Columbia placed first with the Army second.

In the individual foils championships, H. B. Wesselman '31, captain of the Crimson fencers, finished in a triple tie for third place; but R. C. Steere of the Navy was adjudged winner of that position because of his best record of touches against. Forty-four touches were recorded against Steere, 45 against Heiss of the Army, and 47 against Wesselman.
