VETERAN'S THREE WEAPON COMPETITION
The Veteran's Three Weapon Individual Competition was held on February 7th. Only three veterans dared the lists this season, but their enthusiasm made up for their lack of numbers and for all-around strength and skill they more than matched any veteran aggregation of former years.
Pieter Mijer, 58-year-old Salle Santelli veteran, defeated two other teammates Enrique Berumen, defending champion, and Frank H. Goodfellow to win the competition. Mijer defeated Berumen, a 53-year-old grandfather, 9-6 and Goodfellow 8-7. Samuel J. Cole, M.I.T. alumnus, had planned to compete but had to withdraw upon the sudden death of his father. (Morris Doob, snapped the above group photograph, which from left to right shows you Goodfellow, Mijer and Berumen.
