FENCING SEASON IS UNDER WAY

The prospects for the University fencing team seem, on the whole, rather better than last year's. Since shortly after the opening of College the squad of 40 men has been holding regular practice under the coaching of M. Leslabay, but the team has not as yet been decided upon. A practice meet was recently held with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, being the first of a series of such matches planned for the future. The final schedule for the University team has not yet been settled upon, but the tentative list contains matches with Bowdoin, Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, Annapolis, Williams, Yale, Pennsylvania and Columbia. The team will also enter the intercollegiate championship series. The preliminary match of the northern division of the association, including Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Bowdoin will be held here about the middle of March, and the finals will be held in New York, probably the first week in April.
