The other day we heard that the
College athletic board had voted , a
budget for the fencing tram. allow
ing the swordsmen to resume com
petition a2.ter a three year layoff,
so we strolled over to the North
corridor in Rcc Hall to see , h9w
things were progressing.
In the little fencing-equipmcAt
room off the corridor we found
, r.,rfly one swordsman, but it turned
out that. he was THE one—in fact,
THE fencing team. Our Mr. Fenc
ing was none other than Bob Hard
er. ex-Army captain in the .sth In
fantry Division and '42 Eastern
intercollegiates epee champ.
"Yes, George," our informant
told us good-naturedly, bran
dishing one of his weapons, "I
took 16 of 19 •duels to win the
epee title in '42, while our squad
finished fourth out of 13 entries,
Which wasn't bad at all. And
then I entered the Arthy."
We then wanted to know what
an epee was and Harder explained
that there are three dueling weap
ons used in fencing—epee, sabre,
and foil. The epee has the most
leeway in duels, as the swordsman
is allowed to touch any part of
his opponent's body in epee duel
ing.
"In sabre Uhting," Harder
said, "only the chest, arms, or
head can he touched" with either
the point or edge Of the weapon,
while the foil can hit only the
chest with the point of the sword,
not the feet, arms, or head."
lAs for a fencing team, Harder
told us that the normal squad is
composed of nine men, three each
in epee, sabre and foil.• In sabre
and foil a duel is fought until one
man scores five touches, while the
epee winner needs only three hits.
"There are only nine or ten men,
four with any experience, partici
pating in the weekly tryouts," he
continued, "and we haven't even
got enough equipment to go
around, as most of- our swords
have broken points and they won't
be replaced for some time yet."
. However, with a little luck in
securing new equipment, we hope
to get a team going to be in po
sition to have a head start on
other • fencing schools ~ when the
season Opens next fall." , I
As yet, a fencing coach has not
been named, and Harder is con
ducting practice sessions. Dr. Ar
thur Meyer of the forestry depart
anent coached the team in . '42.
We left the little fencing room
after a pleasant chat, but we were
inquisitive as to• what a fencing
champ, a 7th semester Arts and
Letters major, had as his goal, or
life work,' so we returned and
popped the question.
And striking a graceful pose in
the center of the floor with point
ed epee, our Mr. Fencing simply
announced, "I'm going to write
novels."

Split Weekend Games
Splitting their two weekend games by taking Loyola
College of Baltimore Nriday, 17-3, and then dropping a tilt to
Navy, 14-4. on Saturday, the Nittany lacrossemen will renew
an old stick rivalry when they "face-off" against Hobart Col
lege on New Beaver Field at 4 p. m. today.
`The Hobart-Penn State lacrosse battles started back in
1914 with the Statesmen hav
ing five wins, to three victor
ies for the Lions and one tied
game. The last contest in 0942 be
tween the two stick teams gave
Hobart the long end of the 10-7
count
This will be the opening game
of the first season since A 42 for
the team from Geneva. In an ex
hibition match this month the
Quantico Marines lost to Hobart,
5-4.
Sullivan Scores 6
Loyola was outclassed by the
Nittany lacrossemen Friday, as at
tack man Cliff Sullivan paced the
Liens with six scores. John Nolan
and Howdy Taylor collected three
apiece, while Ernie Baer, starting
in place of injured Mery Snyder,
hit the net for two. George Lo
cotos, Bob 'MeAdlims, and Bill Nes
tor each chalked up one.
Playing on a slippery field the
Lions attempted over fifty shots at
the Loyola net. State's goalie,
"Wild" Bill Hollenbach, was at h!.s
best and had thirty saves to his
credit, letting only three go
through.
Lions Held Scoreless
Codch Nick Thiel's men couldn't
get started against the strong Mid
dle team. The Middies tallied sev
en times the 'first half while hold
ing the Lions scoreless. The second
half State was able to score four
times on two shots, by Sullivan,
one for Taylor and Nester.
The Nttlanv- 'starting line-up
for the Hobart game this after
nbOn is Uncertain as 'Bronco Ko
sanovich, the Lions big inside
defense man, received a shoulder
injury in the Navy game: This
makes the third starter on the
State squad to be out of . action.
Pete Johnsen, another
.starting
deferiseindn, became ill the night
before the Loyola trip - and may
not be in condition to play. Meiv
Snyder, injured in the opening
game with Army, is a doubtful
starter.
Lacrosse Coach
. . . Nick Thiel is rapidly
achieving a reputation as• the
"writingest" coach in the busi
ness. He wrote newsletters
monthly to more than .100 boys
in-service, and now he's editing
a monthly letter for college
coaches.
THE COLLEGIAN
Game Cancelled; Too told
King Winter turned out to be
the winner of Saturday's baseball
game between the Villanova
Wildcats and State. The game was
cancelled at the last minute be
cause of cold weather.
The Lions take to the road this
weekend, meeting the Georgetown
nine at Washington on Friday and
