M. Danguy, fencing mentor to many generations of Harvard swordsmen, shrugged his shoulders, looked keenly at a CRIMSON reporter with whom he had been discussing the difficult art of fencing, and said. "A man must be born with the physique and the moral disposition to become a fencer. Ah, Monsieur, you can teach the people, but you cannot make them fence. We have many men who learn the movements,--so, and so--but in the match." Danguy expressed complete despair, "they lose their heads."
For this year's teams, M. Danguy has five veteran fencers who have returned, and a larger tournout of Freshmen than is usual. M. H. Berliner '28, S. L. Galland '28, C. B. Hollister '28, and G. H. Umbsen '28 have all had three years experience in fencing, while D. I. Modell '29, has fenced two years for the University. Forty Freshmen are practicing under M. Danguy's direction.
