Win Decisive Victory Over Maine Team, 9-0--Lane Brothers Show Marked Improvement

The most decisive victory that the University fencers have won for five years was registered on Saturday when the team whitewashed Bowdoin in the Hemenway Gymnasium by the score of 9 to 0. E. L. Lane '24 and E. H. Lane '24 showed improvement, due to their experience from the M. I. T. meet, the former deciding the final score when he defeated Captain Waterman of Bowdoin by one touch in an extremely close match. The University fencers were Burke Boyce '22, captain; E. L. Lane '24, and E. H. Lane '24.
