When do you have the next team bout, lir. Raport, and with whom?

Next Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the University of Kansas Fencing
Team will go against the Kansas City University toam at Kansas Citye

What about the women, lir. Raport? Do they have @ team?

The University of Kansas, Miss Johnson, hss for some years been trying
to arrange for actual women's competition as a teome However, I have
beon unable to find any school or institution in the Missouri Valley
who had womens' fencing teams until the University of Kansas City
developed fencing. Last Saturday we pitted a womens fencing team from
KU. against one from KeCeUe in conjunction with the nen's matchose
The two womens teams fenced to a tice This was the first time that
women fencers met as a team in the Missouri Valleye We hope it can be
made a permanent thinge Mre Orr hero fenced last Saturday against the
K.C.Ue team, What did youthink of the match, Tom?

Of course I enjoyed all the bouts, since I like fencinge But the most
interesting thing to me was the loeftehanded fencor I fenced agdinste
That was the first time I'd ever met a good loftehanded foncer, and for
& while he had me stumpede

I read in the reports that you defeated hime
Yes, and I was glad he was the only leftehandcre

Mre Raport, I noticed in our University paper that we have a fencing
clube What is it?

The Fencing Club, like the Fencing Team, is sponsored by the Department
of Physical Education. The general purpose of the club, as you can
readily surmise, from the name, is to ferce, Howover, the fencing game
in itself is only part of the broader scope of the clube In a way it
attempts to promote friendship and wholesome companionship among the
men and women fencers or thoso interested in fencing’ here at the Univ-
ersity. Since the general idea of all education is to help us to live
better, then the promotion of wholesome social contacts through the
medium of the fencing allows the University Fencing Club to perform

an important function for the studentse Now, you will ask how wo try
to do all thise tMaybe I'd better let Kalman Oravetz, secretary of the
Ke Ue. Fencing Club, explain that to youe

We mect twice 2 week, All wiiversity poople may visit and learn to
fence. The more advanced students are always glad to help the new-
comerse Within the organization there are ranks, depending on tho
fencing ability of the individual, to which the foneer may bo promoted.
During the semester we hold glleschool fencing tournaments which pro
vides entertainment for the spectators and an opportunity to fence for
