We made mention in our last issue of the Southwestern Fencing League. We have since received inquiries from a few fencers in that region asking for more details. We are pleased to present these for the benefit of all.
The Southwestern Fencing League is composed of 14 clubs, namely, the Dallas Y.M.C.A.; Dallas Women's Fencing Club; Southern Methodist University Men's Club; Southern Methodist University Women's Club; Ft. Worth Y.M.C.A.; El Florete Club, Ft. Worth; Royal Assassin Club, Ft. Worth; North Texas Agricultural College, Arlington, Texas; Baylor University, Waco, Texas; A.&M. College, College Station, Texas; The Anico’s Men's Club and The Anico's Women's Club of Galveston. These include a total membership of over 200 fencers. Officers are W. Mort Smith, President; Rois L. Brockman, Vice President; and Ruth Eaves, Secretary-Treasurer.
Its schedule for the coming season begins on November 4th and continues through March. They will operate under a double elimination bracket system this year, and the two advanced teams will meet during March for the annual Team Championship. Individual Championships will also be held in March. A membership drive is under way this year with the objective of doubling the League’s present membership, adding new clubs from Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and making a final connection with the A.F.L.A. for supervision of the entire group.
