THE I.C.F.A. CHAMPIONSHIPS
Mr. Malcolm Farmer, President of the Intercollegiate Fencing Association, has appointed the following Bout Committee for the 1939 Championships: Richard F. Warren (Chairman), Edward Lane (Foil), Dr. S. J. Herben (Épée), J. H. Gelas (Sabre), and W. T. Pecora. The Championships will be held on April 1, 1939, either in Philadelphia or New York City. (The location of the Championships is to be decided at a meeting in New York City on March 5th, too late for inclusion here.)
The latest reports regarding the Intercollegiates is that they will be concluded in one day and that the Annual Ball will not be held this year following the closing ceremonies. It is planned to use 9 fencing strips to make it possible to conclude all the necessary bouts in the one day. Another reported change of importance is the plan to make a Final Pool in each weapon consisting of the first three men in Pool A, the first two men in Pool B, and the first man in Pool C.
The twelve colleges in the Intercollegiate Fencing Association are: Army, C.C.N.Y., Columbia, Cornell, Hamilton, Harvard, M.I.T., Navy, N.Y.U., Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale.
