Oxford Students Duel over a Girl-- Oxford University law students Adam Poynter, 20, left, and Rory Donellan, 22, flash sabres during duel they fought over a girl on grass by Magdalen Cloisters in Oxford, England. Donellan, an expert swordsman who slashed Poynter's arm, said yesterday's duel "was all done in good fun." University authorities thought otherwise. They reprimanded both students, confined them to their college quarters and pondered what further action to take. The girl in the case is Evelyn Mottson, an Oxford student.
