Saturday night at West Point the Army swordsmen defeated the Harvard fencing team by the score of 6 to 5. This is the second defeat for the University men since the Yale match in 1921, their only other set-back coming last year in the intercollegiate meet at Annapolis, where they were forced by the Navy team to take the second place.
Conner did excellent work for the Army, winning, his three matches with the foils and thus scoring one-half of the points which his team secured. Captain E. H. Lane '24 made the best showing for the University, defeating two of his three opponents.
