Lincoln Weld Is
Back in Bridgeport

Great was the surprise when Lincoln Weld made his appearance at the "Y." He left Bridgeport for college last September. He had many opportunities at the college to fence with professors and amateurs. He will stay in the city for three months during which time he will take up his former fencing training at the Y. M. C. A.

Weld is not the only old timer who has come back. The Y. M. C. A. fencers also had the pleasure of seeing Donald Waldhaus, sergeant at Fort Terry. He fenced with the new fencers and gave them an idea of what he has accomplished. He defeated every one without any preparation whatever.

Both will take part at the Fourth of July contest.
