Reese of the University was given first place rating among southern fencers by the Southern Intercollegiate Fencing conference which met here last Saturday. Drufus Griffin, also of Caro lina was given third place rating. The University of Georgia, Univer sity of South Carolina, College of Charleston, the Marion Swamp Fox club, and the Cavaliers club of the Uni versity of South Carolina sent repre sentatives to the conference. The conference opened at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and continued, except for a two-hour dinner recess, until late in the afternoon. At 5 o'clock a match was held between the varsity and fresh man teams of the University of South Carolina, which was won by the fresh man, 5 to 1. A report of the work accomplished last year was taken in the morning ses sion of the association. W. F. Reese of the University of South Carolina was given first place in the rating of South ern intercollegiate fencers. Colburn of the University of North Carolina was declared second best, and Drufus Griffin of the University of South Carolina, third. Reese has been champion of the South in the fencing realm for two years. It was due chiefly to his efforts that fenc ing was introdiced in the South Caro lina university .n the fall of 1925. He with others hl-4ped to organize teams in other colleges and in this way, fenc ing began it,, growth in the South. Mr. Reese was elected president of the Southern Fencing conference for the com.ng year. W. T. Gaillard was chosen vice president. He is from the College of Charleston. B. L. Stewart of the University of South Carolina was made secretary and D. D. Jeter of the University of Georgia was elected corresponding secretary. Jeter attended the University of South Carolina last year. The next fencing tournament that the conference will hold will be at Charles ton. The date was not definitely decided -but the meet will come some time in the early spring. It was left to the discre tion of the president to decide as to the place where the next convention is to be held. It will come on the first Mon day after Thanksgiving at either Athens, Ga., or at Charleston. It was also de cided to determine the outcome of dual and open matches on a team basis. The convention adjourned at 5 o'clock and the body went over to the Univer sity gymnasium for the South Carolina varsity-freshman match, in which the underciassmen were victorious. Green outpointed Crowe, 6 to 2, and the first tile wvent to the freshmen. Finkelstein, champion of the University, tied the match by defeating Moorhead, five to one. Cardwell wvhitewashed Taylor in the third bout, five to nothing. Moor head trimmed Crowe in a close one, 5 to 2 to clinch the match for the fresh man team and Taylor of the varsity was beaten by Moorhead. five to two in the final bout. The convention is significant in that it indicates the rapid growth of fenc ing in the South within a short two years time. Trhe leading fencers of the South were represented at the conference and it may he that some of them are p)ossible candidates for the American Olympic team. It is a distinction for Carolina to have the champion fencer of the South, W. F. Reese, as the man most likely to figure of the Southern contendlers in the Olympic try-outs. -Usc The longest prize fight in history lasted 276 rounds.
