Winning two out of the three classes in the northern division trials of the Intercollegiate Fencing League, Harvard qualified the most fencers for the intercollegiate championships to be staged at New York, April 2 and 3. The eliminations were held Saturday in the New Indoor Athletic Building.
The Crimson won all their bouts in the foils and sabre classes, but lost the epee division to Yale. The College of the City of New York, which was expected to make a strong bid for the winning positions, failed to exhibit the anticipated strength. The fencing teams from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston College also failed to place.
In the battle for individual supremacy Harvard won in the foils when Captain H. C. Cassidy '31 took 10 straight bouts. The battle for second place ended in a deadlock between H. B. Wesselman '32, J. D. Allen '31. Captain Potter of Yale, and J. E. Barmack of C. C. N. Y. As a result all will be allowed to compete in the championship bouts in New York.
Wing Leads in Sabres
W. M. Wing '31 led the field in the sabre competition, winning nine bouts. R. B. Lawson '32 finished second, Allis of Yale third, and Barmack of C. C. N. Y. fourth. In the epee bouts Shellard of M. I. T. carried off first place by winning eight times. The other qualifiers in this class were Thompson of Yale, K. R. Ludiam '33, and Chin of Yale.
