The varsity fencing team will meet a strong team from Columbia University this afternoon at 3:45 in the I.A.B.
Coach Edo Marion will use a split lineup against the Lions in the foil event with three men fencing only two bouts instead of the customary three, and only one man appearing in all three. Foils starters are Paul Forand, Walt Rawis, Steve Schneider, and Cliff Thompson.
The sabre team will consist of John Craig, Dave Kenney, and John Livingston. Phil Erard, Bill Pierskalia, and Captain Les Scherer will appear in the epee division.
