The University fencing team will encounter what is expected to prove the keenest opposition to be met this year, when it duels the strong Yale outfit at 8 o'clock this evening in Hemenway Gymnasium. Before the University tilt the Freshmen will engage the Eli first year men in a contest that is scheduled to start at 7 o'clock.

The Yale foilsmen form one of the strongest aggregations in the East, and in Captain Avery posess a fencer who has been intercollegiate champion for the last two years. The Eli swordsmen will enter the contest as slight favorites.

The meet between the first-year foilsmen and the Yale Freshmen is expected to be a close one. The Freshmen will present a strong line-up, and posess good substitutes in S. C. Smith, H. C. Cassidy and W. B. Speare, who are quite likely to see action tonight. By mutual agreement the epee and sabre events have been ruled out of the meet tonight.
