TwtLOR Meet Jeanne Thompson:-Top Woman Fencer By LUCY SEIFUIG_ Tiny, 'energetic Jeanne Thomp son is the only girl who fences in Rec Hall with the men's fencing team. She practices with them four nights a week from 4,p.m. to 6:30 or 7 p.m.. "My one ambition," she said, "is to score a point on Bob Harder, men's fencing coach, without him scoring on me first." Jeanne is graduating this year and has been fencing for seven semesters, six of which she has been instructing at the girls' Fenc ing Club in White Hain. Fencer From Way Back "My first introduction to fenc ing came," Jeanne said, "when I was a junior in high school and my brother practiced with me. He was a fencer at V.P.I. and though I didn't learn anything from him because I was his guinea pig, he was the one to blame for my in terest in fencing." When Jeanne came to college she found the opportunity to learn to fence and took advantage of it. She took her first lessons from Dr. Arthur Meyer, thus starting her fencing career. • Practice makes perfect and Jeanne has always worked under that theory. "To keep in form I practice in my room in Atherton and up at Rec Hall." Bob Harder, her present in structor, was intercollegiate men's champion at the College in .1942, Sizzling 'Civilians Anchor Navy Stick Squad, 9-4 The Navy's highly vaunted midfield attack mired down in the grass and mud of the golf course Saturday afternoon as the Sizzling Civilians pounded out a 9-4 victory over the boys in blue. (Kahki for summer.) The Sizzling Civilians jumped to an early lead when "Fuzzy" McAdams slipped one past "Fatty" Meeker. From there on it was nip 'n tuck with the civilians doing the nipping and the swab jockeys doing the tucking. (Their skirts got in the way.) One lone spectator turned up for the fray, Cops excuse me. Brawl I mean. Coach "Hick" Thiel wa s in his usual friendly jocular mood„ saying nice things about the boys. Roach Ameel, Thiers shadow was in fine form as he helped Coach Thiel pass out verbal bouquets. When the rain subsided and the players hoisted themselves from the mud it was found that the Civilians had dropped the pellet through the goal nine times. Navy trailed this by five counts.

Nick .Thiel will be in command of the North team for the second time in five years of •the sectional rivalry. He is,,the only coach to be.,named to the post tw,jc.e,.and,he was .an As sistant .in 1.941 and .1943. Making the trip will. be Captain John Nolan, star midfielder, Art Tenhula, defensem'an, and "Wild Bill" • Hollenbachy Lion netnian, The three, will begin practice to morrow morning at the St. Paul School in Baltimore under the di rection of the North coaching staff.. Thiel will head a staff composed of Ned Harkins, R. P: I.; "Chief" Miller, C.C.N.Y.; and Roy Sinn mons, Syracuse. The South squad will be under the. supervision of "Dinty" Moore, Navy, assisted by Avery Blake, Swarthmore, and Jack Faber, Maryland. The North not only will have Army, the odds-on favorite to be national champion, as a player source, but the. dark horse. of the Year, Princeton, who defeated..the crafty stuck-handling Johns Hop kins team. The big game itself is a toss-up as past 'performances show and this year's contest promises to be an even tussle once again. The Northern contingent is being class ed as a favorite by the. Baltimore sports writers since they will draw players from the West Point and Princeton tens. The South, how= ever, will have Jdhns Hopkins, Navy, and Maryland as a back bone, and these three teams are rated c:ose behind the top North combinations on the season's per formances. fun to let that stop me." Jeanne has used •two types of fails. - She prefers the• Belgian foil over others-because of the better grip. In her earlier fencing days she used the .F 1 ench .foil but is now perfecting the Belgian. However her abilities don't stop ,at fencing. Besides a 2.3 all college average, she is active in Treble Singers, Theta Sigma•Plii, PSCA, Russian choir, Collegian advertising saff, LeVie staff, and many .WRA clubs. She also likes to, paint in her spare time. Intramurals Postponed games in 'the inter fraternity softball league will be played today and tomorrow to finish.
