The intercollegiate fencing tournament will begin tonight in New York at the New York Athletic Club. Each team will consist of three men and each man will fence all the other contestants except those of his own college. The trophy, which becomes the temporary property of the winning team each year, is a bronze statue of a swordsman, three and one-half feet high.
Of eleven past tournaments, Harvard has won seven. This year the University team has defeated the Massachusetts Institute of Technology twice, but lost to Cornell and West Point. In the quadrangular meet, Harvard was last, with Pennsylvania second and Yale third. West Point has won the last two intercollegiate tournaments and is very strong this year.
The University team is made up as follows: H. W. Holmes 1G. (captain), A. Tyng '04 and W. MacLeod '05; substitute, R. S. Earle 2L. The men left for New York yesterday afternoon.
