Harvard won the foils title at fenc- ing, but the Army, competing for the first time since 1912, captured both epee and sabre team events, R.

From his neck down the Kid is all right, plenty of strength and power, but he does not seem’to use his head and persists in making desperate dashes, swinging like a gate, To a man like Dundee this type of fighting is not dangerous except to the ag- gressor himself.
