The following officers were elected at the Annual Meeting of the Minnesota League of Fencing Clubs: President: Phillip Whitney, St. Paul Turnverein; Vice President: Robert E. Withy, Jr., St. Paul Y.M.C.A.; Secretary: Richard Jarvis, University of Minnesota; Fencing Director: Willard Ronayne, St. Thomas College. There are seven fencing organizations in the League.
The 30th Annual Championship Contest was held on Washington’s Birthday at Cooke Hall of the University of Minnesota. There were High School, College, and Society competitions in foil and a combined sabre and a combined epee competition. Rules simulated those of the A.F.L.A., except for a hip line target in foil and a warning for stepping off the side of the strip. Three warnings for stepping offside constituted a touch.
