The University fencing team defeated Bowdoin 9 bouts to 0 in the Hemenway Gymnasium last night. Decisions were awarded to the man making the greatest number of touches in a four-minute bout. As the score indicates, the University team, composed of S. F. Damon '14 (captain), T. J. Putnam '15, J. A. Aylen '15, and R. von Nardroff '15, showed their absolute superiority over their opponents, and there was only one close bout, that being won by R. von Nardroff '15 over G. P. Floyd by the score of 5-4. The fencing was far more interesting than the score would indicate, the bouts being fast and hard-fought in most instances. One substitute was sent in for the University team, A. D. deKay '16, who won his bout from G. P. Floyd, the Bowdoin captain, 5-3.
The next match for the fencing team will be with Columbia next Friday night in New York City.
