ST. LOUIS
Alan Beck of La Septieme defeated his clubmate, Mauthe Frech, in the fence-off for first place in the Novice Foil Competition on January 9th at Webster High School. There had been 12 entries. Edward Maher took third place in the six-man finals. One feature of the competition was the extension of bouts to 6 touches if at 5 the leader did not have a two-point advantage.
Thirteen girls entered the Women's Prep Foil on January 14th at the Y.W.C.A. Miss Betty Pentland, unattached, went through the six-girl Finals undefeated to win first place. Miss Gladys Holley of the Ozark Fencing Club was second with only one loss, while Miss Lorraine Yaeger of the Salle d’Armes Vical was third with two losses. Bouts were for 5 touches.
There were three teams entered in the Novice Epee Team competition: Salle d’Armes Vical "A" and "B" and Imperial Fencers Club. The Vical "B" team, made up of Rudolf Beck, John Gast and Warren Wipperman, pulled a surprise in defeating the Imperials 5-1 and their own "A" team 5-2.
