TEXAS
A round robin series of team matches among the men’s and women’s teams of Texas will constitute the major part of the Southwestern Division’s winter schedule.
The six teams entered in the men’s round robin, contested from November 22 to March 22, are the Dallas Y. M. C. A., Southern Methodist University, the Galveston Amicos, Forth Worth Y. M. C. A., Texas A. & M. College, and Baylor University.
Competitors in the women’s round robin will be two teams representing the Dallas Women’s Fencing Club, the Dallas Aces, Richelieu’s Guards of Dallas, the Royal Assassins of Dallas, and El Florete of Port Worth. The competitive season runs from November 8 to March 13.
The division’s open tournament will be held in Houston during December.
Early-season meets included a challenge match between the Dallas Women’s Fencing Club and the men’s team of the Dallas Y. M. C. A., contested at the Y. M. C. A. on October 25. The men’s team triumphed, 5-3, after a hard struggle. Following the matches, the contestants fenced in practice bouts at the regular Friday family-night session of the Y. M. C. A.
Mildred Haskins, representing the Dallas Women’s Fencing Club, won the Texas women’s open foil meet at the Dallas Y. M. C. A. on October 5. Second place went to Lovicy Eckstein of the Ace Fencing Club and third to Peggy Hunt of the Dallas Women’s Fencing Club.
The board of governors of the Southwest Fencing League, at their fall meeting, authorized the publication of a league magazine, and the first issue, a 32-page mimeographed booklet, was published in November and carried items of general interest to all southwest fencers.
