WOMEN’S JUNIOR FOIL PRELIMINARIES
The Metropolitan qualifying round for the finals of the Women’s Junior Foil Championship was a great disappointment this year. It is true that the only outstanding junior who failed to make an appearance was Miss Mildred Stewart who had suffered a foot injury, but the number of entries was unusually small. Fifteen girls were listed—the minimum number which would allow six girls to qualify for the finals on February 15th.
Three strips of five each, with two girls qualifying, was all that was necessary to decide the places. Miss Maria Cerra, and Miss Madeline Dalton qualified for the Salle Vince; Miss Carol Alessandroni for the Fencers Club; Miss Dorothy Grimmelman for N.Y.U.; Mrs. Dolly Funke for the Greco Fencing Academy; and Miss Barbara Cochrane for the Salle Santelli. In most cases the girls qualified easily, outclassing the other entries on their strips. Miss Dalton, however, had a very narrow squeeze, as she barely displaced Miss Anita Zorzoli of Hunter College. Both girls were tied in bouts won, and Miss Dalton qualified with a 2-touch margin.
