...disappointing showing in sabre should have forewarned Harvard of the fate to befall Bennett. Bennett, whose 10-2 record in the second pool tied him for top spot in the division, couldn't muster much attack Saturday, losing four out of five bouts in the finals. Curiously, Bennett's only win in the finals came in the opening bout when he came from behind to outpoint Brooke Makler, 5-4.

Phillippe Bennett should find the drawn-out IFA competition more to his liking than the short three-bout matches that he has had often in similarly run meets.

Led by Eugene White, who has come back from a lengthy bout with the flu to do the best fencing of his career, Harvard never allowed Holy Cross to get close. The other two epee men, Ken Bartels and John Hirschfeld, each took two out of three to support White...
