Fencing Team Under the instruction of Mr. Arthur Hertsfeld, the fencing team will attempt to capture its seventh title in its fourteen year hist-ory. lt is seen by this record, that Southern has always been Well represented by its fencing troupe. With all but one of the starting tearn retained, and the remaining mem- bers of the team well drilled in this art, the team is well on its way toward its eighth title. With these experienced foilman as Marshioni, Titomer, Levin and Tomar, Southern is surely well representated in the league. Fencing is said to be the fundamental prerequisite of bayonet drill, box- ing, and wrestling. The position of the feet in fencing gives the balance so necessary in these activities.
