The Salle Santelli won this Championship at New York University for the third successive year by defeating Hofstra College in the last match 5-4.

Individual Intermediate Women’s Foil—11 Entries—January 15th
Women’s fencing ran true to form for a change when Miss Helena Mroczkowska of Hofstra College, Miss Barbara Cochrane of the Salle Santelli, and Mrs. Rosemary Nadi of the Aldo Nadi Studio finished in that order at the Fencers Club for the season’s first individual sectional championship. Miss Mroczkowska and Miss Cochrane, the only two non-seniors in the National Ranking, were expected to finish one-two with the odds going to Miss Cochrane due to her greater experience. However, the inter-collegiate champion took her closest rival 4-2, which provided her with the necessary margin for victory. Each won all but one of their remaining bouts. Mrs. Nadi, favored for the bronze medal, had a close call when she tired in the closing bouts after a good start and was forced to count touches over Miss Beryl Petechesky of N.Y.U. to take third place.
