Fencing . . . Team has Good Chances

The fencing train this year is again captained by I. Free who should be amongst the top three or four fencers at the Tournament. He is a probable for an N.Z.U. blue, and should do well if he manages to evade one of bin recurring bouts of alcoholic poisoning. Tim Beaglehole is the second member of the team, and is also experienced from last year. He is Victoria's lefthander and a kern intellectual fencer. As fit us only a harrier can be, hit long spidery legs should carry him to victory in most of his fights. K. P. Janseen is perhaps the neatest fencer in the tram. The standard of his fencing is above the average university level, and he is expected to win most of his bouts. C. D. Beeby is also participating in his first Tournament, and. If he can bring his footwork up to the standard of his handwork, will be hard to beat.

The men's team is of a high, even standard, and will be one of the strongest if not The strongest, in Auckland.

Mary Ellis is an experienced Tournament fencer, and knows what to do even if she is a little slow in doing it. Jo Pyne is attending her first Tournament, but will win many bouts if she sticks to essentials and increases the vigour of her fencing. The women's team is not as unbeatable as the mens, and the result of Victoria's fencing on the whole will depend largely Upon their success.

They must remember that there is no substitute for accurate, simple attacks, swiftly executed.
