FENCING FOR WOMEN
OFFEREO THIS YEAR
Duelists to Receive Credit
For Work in Sport
Women’s classes in fencing will
be held this term at four every
day, and at two o’clock on Tues
day in the Woman’s building, un
der the direction of Mr. W. C. Da
vidson.
This is the first year, the instruc
tor points out, that fencing has
been given for credit. Under the
class arrangement for the fall term
regular gymnastics are given twice
a week, and for the third hour of
the week, members of the gymnas
tic classes may choose swimming,
vplley ball or fencing. So far about
45 girls have signed up for the
fencing classes. Other students
wishing fencing instruction will be
admitted to the regular classes.
“Fenoing,” Mr. Davisson said
“is the fairest sport. To
the weak and strong, tall and
short, it offers equal chances. It
is very beneficial for the develop
ment of co-ordination between mus
cles and mind.”
Mr. Davisson explains that, con
trary to current opinion, it is not
strength that counts but delicate
speed. Practice is the keynote to
success.
The equipment consisting of the
foil, mask for the protection of the
face, and plastron, a padded jacket,
is furnished by the physical educa
tion department. All of this equip
ment comes from France, as it is
not made in the United States.
During recent years there has been
considerable revival in the instruc
tion of fencing, resulting in a
heavy demand upon the manufac
turers of the equipment. Last year
when the sport was introduced at
Oregon, the department was forced
to wait several months for the fill

Air. Davisson attributes this re
vival to the growing realization of
the value of fencing, which ranks
next to swimming in its all-around
development, and to the romantic
nature of the art.
Unofficial duels may be ar
ranged between members of his
classes and those of other institu
tions. Last year Lea and Margery
Horton met unofficially fencers of
Multnomah club of Portland, where
Mr. Davisson received his train
ing.

Dills Fine lat Guard
The find of the season was Bill
Dills at guard. That is going to
comtplicate matters on the line for
another good man to fill the posi
tion will necessitate some shifting
around. The line this year has
changed. Two fast guards are
(needed with speed as the main
requisite. Dills seems to be fitting
[in the position to perfection.
Some other new men are coming
to the front with surprisingly reg
ularity. Frank Biggs at end will
make the men who have been
playing the wings work better than
they have before to hold the posi
tion. He is 170 pounds of fight.
Charlie Falk, another candidate
who was showing up well, was laid
up with an injured heel Tuesday
night. Bob Mautz and Sherm
Smith, the veterans will probably
start the game. Ick Beynolds, who
flayed a fine gamte last Saturday,
.has been out with an injured leg.
Line la; Promising
Ken Bailey resumed his place
in the lineup last night at guard
after a lay off of ten days. This
puts the guards as the strong part
of the line with Gene Shields, Ken
Bailey, Walt Socolofsky, Hal Har
den, Bill Dills, Francis Quinn
and Harry Leavitt capable of han
dling the position.
The tackle position is the toss
up between four of the best aspir
ants on the field. Bert Kerns, A1
Sinclair, Bert Gooding as the three
veterans. John Warren, Homer
Dixon, Harold Mangum from last
year’s Frosh are playing on the
first string regularly. Arley Marsh
from the benchmen is also mixing
in more than he ever did before.
