INDIANA
The dearth of fencing masters in the United States is evident in the city of Indianapolis. Indianapolis is a city of more than 350,000 persons and not only has not a professional fencing master but, so far as we can ascertain, has no fencer that has received professional instruction. Fencing, however, is by no means dead in Indianapolis. There is a regular class in three-weapon fencing at the Normal College of the American Gymnastic Union there and unofficial fencing clubs in two of the High Schools. There is also the Indianapolis Fencing Corps, a three-year-old private club with about 25 enthusiastic members. Fencing groups assemble at the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. from time to time. Because of the inability of Butler University to obtain proper fencing instruction its plans for a fencing club this year were postponed.
