Fencers Seeking Ninth Seasonal Win Tomorrow in Chicago Coach Herb Melton's fencers take on Illinois Tech in the final match of Notre Dame's most successful fencing season since 1936. With eight wins and a single loss to date, the Irish could tie the all-time rec­ ord of nine wins in one season set in 1936 when the Gold and Blue went un­ beaten for the second straight year. Regardless of their opponent's calibre, Notre Dame should rate no worse than an even bet to send the Techawks down to a defeat similar to those handed Ohio State, Case, Michigan State, Northwes­ tern, Illinois, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Wisconsin. Against Wisconsin, Notre Dame ex­ pected a stiff battle, but they were not even pressed in scoring a 20%-6% win, their most convincing of the year.
