After more than 8 hours of fencing among 37 competitors representing 20 schools in and near the Metropolitan area, Stanley Gold of New Utrecht High School was awarded the A.F.L.A. gold medal for this competition at the Washington Irving High School on March 30th. Tied with Arthur Chernin of Newark Central High School and Alphonse Sully of Seton Hall Prep for first place, decisions were given on the basis of touches because of the fatigued condition of all of the Finalists. On a similar basis, Chernin was awarded the silver medal and Sully, New Jersey State Interscholastic Titleholder and original competition favorite, was awarded the bronze medal.
