The Oxford Cup, 1973-74

In the Yorkshire Junior Epée (open to all ages), Stephen Winrow Campbell fought his way to the quarter-finals, and Martin Black battl on to the finals where he came third.

The National Schoolboys' Sabre and Epée were held at Wincheste and the foil at Street. It is unfortunate that these important competitio have to be held at such inaccessible places, entrance entailing the loss o much school work. As it was, only Stephen Winrow-Campbell, a Junio Middle, had the time and transport to go. He did well, reaching_ the quarter-finals of the Sabre and Foil.

Three School cups were fought for. The Kaiser Epée Cup was won by Martin Black, the Dr. Slade Junior Foil by Graham Langton (Christ. mas Term) and the Dr. Slade Senior Foil by Alan Tait—a remarkable achievement for a Fifth-former.

The School was proud to have David Taylor, Simon Atkinson and Martin Black fence for the Yorkshire Senior first team against Nottinghamshire. David and Simon (Sabre), bewildered by some suspect presiding, lost; while at Foil Martin and his friend Howard Bailey, from Bootham, both won two bouts out of three—but the third man lost all hi bouts so the Foil team lost 5-4.

With these promising results, due credit for which must go to o coach, Mr. Power, with his great enthusiasm, we hope to do well in th coming Public Schools' Fencing Championships.
