The University fencing team consisting of Captain Burke Boyce '22, E. H. Lane '24, and E. L. Lane '24, and accompanied by J. S. Barss '22 and J. K. Watson '23 who will fight with duelling swords, will leave tonight for its meet with the University of Pennsylvania tomorrow.
The Crimson team has not been hard put to emerge at the long end of the score in any of its previous contests this term, but the Philadelphia combination, although lately defeated 7-2 by Yale, is expected to give the University men some stiff opposition.

The home team has also the unusual distinction of including two left-handed fencers.
