Freshman fencers meet the Clark varsity in Worcester at 1 p.m. today. The '53 squad yesterday chose Jan Earl Jertson of Thayer Hall and Fairhaven as their captain...
...also should be all right in the spring, depending largely on Dick Weiskopf, who is capable of a ten-second 100 and a 5.5-second 50. Murray Pearlstein tries too hard, but runs quite well when he concentrates on form. Dave Carter, Bill Geick, and Larry Sperber are fair. Thayer can do rather well in the 220 but is essentially a quarter-miler...

Nobody else did much of anything. The unfortunate fact in that the best of the Harvards, like Tootell, are overshadowed by other men on opposing teams...
...yard run--Thayer and Grutzner may prove to be pleasant surprises before the season is over. They've both run slightly over 1:15 in the Cage.
