GRECO OUTDOOR SABRE COMPETITION
The Annual Outdoor Sabre Competition, sponsored by Antonino Greco and scheduled each year by the New York Metropolitan Committee of the A.F.L.A., was held this year on September 8th at Jones Beach. Favored by ideal weather conditions and conducted under excellent arrangements, this competition attracted good attendance from the constantly shifting resort crowds.
Dr. Tibor Nyilas, former member of the Hungarian International Sabre Team, won first place decisively by sweeping all bouts in the nine-man Finals. Dr. James H. Flynn, All Eastern Intermediate Sabre Champion, George Worth, National Sabre Champion of Cuba and Leo Kellerman of the Yale Medical School tied for second place with five wins and three losses, while Worth was third with 24 touches against, and Kellerman was fourth with 26 touches against. The three medallists all represented the Salle Santelli. The competition attracted 20 entrants.
Mr. Greco presented gold, silver and bronze medals to the first three place winners.
