The second round of the New England Fencing Tournament will be held at the Worcester Fencers' Club at eight o'clock tonight. Eighteen bouts will be fought, under the rules of the Amateur fencers' League of America. Each about will last four minutes and will be won, other things being equal, by the man scoring the larger number of touches.
The first round of the tournament was held at the B. A. A. club house on January 12. The Harvard team made the third best total score, being beaten by the teams from the B. A. A. and the Providence Y. M. C. A., both of which were composed of the best and most experienced fencers in New England. The points scored by the teams were as follows: B.A.A., 8; Providence Y. M. C. A., 5; Harvard Fencers' Club, 4; Worcester Fencers' Club, 1.
Each club will enter a team of three men for the bouts tonight. The Harvard team, as determined by trials held in the Gymnasium Wednesday night, will be composed of E. J. Couill 1L, C. D. Burchenal '02, R. N. Henderson '02, and H. W. Holmes '03, substitute.
The final scores of the tournament, of which there will be in all three rounds, will decide the fencing team championship of New England.
