The University fencing team defeated Columbia 6 bouts to 3 in a very interesting tournament held in the Hemenway Gymnasium yesterday evening. The University team, although composed for the most part of new material, showed surprising skill against the more experienced Columbia team. The work of M. M. Boyd '12, the captain, was particularly brilliant, his fencing showing at all times excellent form and good judgment. Captain Northrup of Columbia excelled for the losing team. Judging from the results of last night's meet, the team should make a very creditable showing in the remaining dates of its unusually long and difficult schedule.
Following the tournament, the Columbia team was entertained at a smoker given in Stoughton 24 by the Harvard Fencers' Club.
Summary of bouts:
First round.--G. B. Wilbur '12 defeated M. L. Hamlin, Columbia; M. M. Boyd '12 defeated N. A. Clough, Columbia; J. H. Northrup, Columbia, defeated H. H. Loomis '13.
Second round.--M. M. Boyd '12 defeated M. L. Hamlin, Columbia; H. H. Loomis '13 defeated N. A. Clough, Columbia; N. A. Northrup, Columbia, defeated G. B. Wilbur '12.
