TIME THRUSTS
Norman Armitage is still "hors de combat"; the burns were very severe... We’ll keep you posted on his progress... When the high school boys heard that Mr. Aldo Nadi was going to appear at the competition held at N.Y.U. they raised the roof... When the famous man arrived they all stood at attention as if he were a king making a tour of inspection... It was a great occasion for them and Aldo Nadi didn’t disappoint them... Jerry Hicks is now coaching the Alvienne School of Dramatic Arts and has joined the coaching staff of the Saltus Club... Warren Dow and Emil Goldstein argued over one touch throughout the entire final round of the Vince women’s competition... Julia Jones, coach of the girls’ fencing team at N.Y.U., was chairman of the Hostess Committee for the high school tournament; she was ably assisted by the Misses Stewart, Warner, Moritz, King, Harris, and Cochrane... The other day someone asked us what the policy of THE RIPOSTE was, and "Chips" Cantor, better known as the half-wit of the locker-room, replied: "The policy of the RIPOSTE is to be ahead of the THRUST!"... which proves somebody was giving him the benefit of the doubt... "Chips" and Mike de Capriles continued their friendly rivalry at the Cartier Cup competition. Chips threatened to beat Mike in their bout; whereupon Mike jokingly boasted he would end the match right then and there as his club was leading 4-2... Chips settled down and gave Mike a beautiful beating... We don’t want to miss the opportunity to thank Chips for this efficient method of preventing Mike from bragging again... N.Y.U. used a loudspeaker system for their high school meet, and gave the director a portable microphone for the final round... the thing worked so well that Hugh Alessandroni is considering the use of a similar device at the intercollegiates... Bill Pecora writes us in no uncertain terms about the 3-weapon tryout... it seems that the New York delegation captivated the young ladies completely and now life isn’t what it used to be... Your editor regrets he cannot go up to Boston to see the fun... Peter Lijew submits the following for your amusement: "I have followed fencing for a good many years and been specially interested in the progress of women’s fencing in this country. I was agreeably surprised at the way of announcing scores in one of the recent tournaments. Instead of the usual ‘one-nuzzing’ and ‘two-nuzzing,’ the score-keeper announced ‘one-love’ and ‘two-love’ (that’s nice) ‘three-love’ (here the trouble usually starts). This makes you feel more intimate, as if you belonged. I do hope, however, that not too much love will develop in the game, for after all it is fencing."
