Collegiate Championships On March 29
March 29 will be "intercollegiate day" for fencing, with the 48th annual Intercollegiate Fencing Association championship finals scheduled that day at Princeton University, and the first collegiate championships under the auspices of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Eleven of the twelve member colleges of the I. C. F. A. will be represented at Princeton in the championships which will begin on Friday, March 28, and wind up on the evening of March 29. Those competing will be: Army, C. C. N. Y., Columbia, Cornell, Hamilton, Harvard, M. I. T., Navy, N. Y. U., Princeton and Pennsylvania. Yale has not entered the competition. Approximately 100 fencers will take part in the championships.
Only one of last year's three individual winners—Arthur Tauber, N. Y. U., epee titleholder—will defend his championship. Tauber, also third in the foil standing in 1940, is the only previous medal winner in any weapon who will take part.
New York University will defend its foil and three-weapon championship, Princeton its epee title, and Army its sabre victory.
The National Collegiate championships, which will be held all day on Saturday, March 29, will have midwestern colleges and universities as the bulk of its entry list, with scattered teams from other parts of the country. Competition will be limited to individual championships in the three weapons, with two men entered from each college in each weapon. Sixteen colleges are expected to send representatives.
In charge of the National Collegiate Championships is Dr. John Huffman, chairman of the N. C. A. A. Fencing Rules Committee.
