The varsity fencers did poorly Saturday in losing 19 to 9 to an average Princeton team at Princeton, but the freshmen compensated with a narrow 14 to 13 win ever Clark University in the Indoor Athletic Building.
Not one varsity swordsman was able to win three bouts as the Tigers took all three weapons: the foils, 5 to 4, the epee, 7 to 2, and the sabre, 6 to 3. The only real contest was in the foils which was tied 4 to 4 before the last bout.
Playing without Louis Begley, their best foils man, the Yardlings lost the foils, 6 to 3, and the epee, 5 to 4. Kip Marsetta won his three sabre bouts and the total score stood at 13 to 13 before the last bout. Captain Warren Stone, who had already won two bouts, put on a magnificent performance to beat Clark's top fencer, Bob Greenlaw, and to give the Crimson the meet, 14 to 13. Stone has not lost a bout all season, and the freshmen are also undefeated.
The varsity still has M.I.T. and Yale on their schedule.
