The University fencing team will meet the University of Pennsylvania in the second match of the season at Philadelphia tonight at 8 o'clock. The team, consisting of Captain W. H. Russell '18, Manager B. S. Nichols '16, and E. P. Hamilton '18, accompanied by Coach Leslabay, left Boston late last night and will arrive in Philadelphia this morning.
The showing of the team in the Bowdoin match last week gives reason to believe that the team will give a good account of itself on the trip. Captain Russell took part in only one bout that evening, because he was ill, but he won that. He is now fully recovered. Nichols won two bouts very decisively, and Hamilton, who is a comparatively inexperienced man, showed excellent form in winning his two bouts.
The team will leave for Annapolis early tomorrow morning, where they meet the Midshipmen. Though Pennsylvania was defeated last year, the fencing team has never defeated the Naval Academy men.
