N.Y.A.C. REGAINS CARTIER TROPHY
The New York A.C., holders of the Cartier Cup in 1935, scored a decisive comeback this year by defeating the University F.C. 5-3 in the final round of the tournament. The winning trio, consisting of Leo G. Nunes, John R. Huffman, and Darnell Every, proved too strong for the defending team made up of Warren Dow and Miguel and Jose de Capriles. Darnell Every was easily the star of the evening, sweeping through all his matches without a setback and scoring the deciding victory in the finals. Warren Dow carried the brunt of the burden for the losers; the de Capriles brothers were not doing very well, and it was only Dow's remarkable fencing which kept them in the running. The defeat suffered at the hands of Every in the final round was Dow's only setback.
Earlier in the evening, the N.Y.U. team (Gold, Lewis, and Soroka) scored a surprising upset by defeating the seeded Fencers Club trio (Alessandroni, Mosselman, Cantor) in the quarter-final. Lewis and Gold staged unexpected victories against Alessandroni who was decidedly off his game.
