PHILADELPHIA
A dinner meeting at the Philadelphia Sword Club opened the fall season for the Philadelphia Division on September 23. Among the topics discussed at the meeting were plans and schedules for the 1940-41 year and the possibility of fostering classes to develop a larger group of officials for divisional competitions.
The problem of increasing the available number of officials was described at the meeting as a vital one for the sport, in view of the growing competitive schedule each year. It was suggested that the constantly increasing burden on the more experienced fencers might be relieved by further willingness on the part of younger men and women interested in fencing to aid in this important function.
A new chairman of the Philadelphia division bout committee has been appointed, Louis Sarvis, former Harvard fencer.
