FENCING The Easter Term this year was somewhat quieter than at first expected. This was mainly due to the fact that several first-team members were called upon to represent the School in other spheres. This did not prevent us from completing an undefeated term in our School matches. On the 23rd January, the first Saturday of term, R. W. Oliver and C. A. Wood represented the School in the British Under Twenties Fencing Competition in London. C. A. Wood was unfortunate to be knocked out of the First Round on a Count of hits. R. W. Oliver was knocked out in the Second Round. On 30th January, we sent a team to Welbeck College and recorded an easy win. The second School Match of the term was against Scarborough College on 10th February. An 'A' team was sent to Scarborough and we recorded another victory in this, our first fixture with Scarborough. Our third match of the term was against Richmond School, on Sunday, 14th February at Richmond. This was again a first fixture and the School won confidently. The last match of the term was against our old rivals, Stonyhurst College, at home. Although proving our toughest resistance of the term and fighting bravely, Stonyhurst were beaten. During the term, P. M. Darley was re-awarded his School Colours and J. A. S. Benn was awarded his. The Inter-House Fencing Matches were fought this term, the final was between Temple and Queen's; Temple won by 6 bouts to 5. During the Easter Holidays, a large team of seventeen boys went down to London for the Public School's Fencing Championships. In the Junior Foil C. A. Wood and J. A. S. Benn were placed 4th and 5th respectively out of 164 competitors. Other creditable efforts were J. Pawson's achieve38
