N. C. A. A. CHAMPIONSHIPS APPROVED
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has approved the holding of National Collegiate fencing championships under its jurisdiction in 1941. The event will be held during the entire day of Saturday, March 29, 1941 on the campus of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Preparations for the championships, the first ever held under the auspices of the N. C. A. A., are now going forward under the direction of Dr. John Huffman, chairman of the N. C. A. A. Fencing Rules Committee and president of the A. F. L. A. Other members of the committee include Hugh V. Alessandroni, Jean Gelas, Herman S. Hettinger, and Rene Peroy.
All college and university teams will be eligible for the meet, the preliminary announcement states. For the first year, at least, competition will be limited to individual championships in the three weapons. The probable limit of entries will be two men in each weapon from each college team.
First indications are that from twenty to thirty colleges and universities will submit entries for the championships. The exact scope of these entries is not yet known, however.
Further details will be announced by the committee in charge at a later date. Meanwhile, all college teams having intentions of filing entries are advised to keep the date of Saturday, March 29, open on their schedules.
