The University of Maryland fencing schedule includes competitions with Loyola College, College of William & Mary, University of North Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, Drew University, Haverford, Virginia Military Institute, and S.C.N.Y. The only available score at this date is the 20–1 victory over Loyola College in late January.
Five Baltimore High Schools—City College, Poly, Forest Park, Patterson, and McDonough—are engaged in a round robin of fencing competitions. The first of two rounds is nearly complete, with City College High School well out ahead with 4 wins and no losses. If City wins this season, it will have established a record of five consecutive championships.
In the Annual Winter Women’s Fencing Carnival, Miss Minnie Guggolz took first prize in the unlimited class, Miss Rosalie Porter of Eastern High School won the first place in the School Girls unit, and Miss Gertrude Andrews of Western High School won the Novice competition.
The Maryland Amateur Fencing Association has elected the following officers for the coming year: President, John Pope, Jr., Tri-Weapon Club; Vice President, Sidney Garman, Y.M.C.A.; Secretary, Sylvia Blake, Parry & Thrust Club; Treasurer, Abraham Hurwitz, Y.M.H.A.
