NEW JERSEY
Evident lack of interest on the part of New Jersey’s male fencers has caused a curtailment of A.F.L.A. competitions in that division thus far during the 1940-41 season, but despite that defection several events have been run off on schedule. Results of these have been:
A. Jimminez, fencing for the Salle Scafati, won the men’s individual prep foil, the opening competition on the division’s slate.
Harry Boutsikaris of Seton Hall College took the first-place medal in the individual novice sabre. His teammate, A. Gillen, was second, and W. Hauber, Salle Scafati, third.
The individual novice epee, held on December 4, was won by Walter Hauber of the Salle Scafati. L. Brown of Drew University and G. Boles of the Salle Scafati took the other two medals.
Interest in women’s competitions has been much greater, resulting in stronger entry lists and more interesting meets. In the prep foil competition, first place went to Valerie Boczar of the Salle Scafati. Runners-up were Antoinette Chieppa and Josephine Rotunda, both of the Newark Foilettes. There were ten entries.
Jean Boles of the Salle Scafati won the women’s novice foil over a field of fourteen, sweeping all her matches. Mildred Fraiese of the New Jersey State Teachers College and Antoinette Chieppa of the Newark Foilettes were second and third, respectively.
All competitions were held at the Salle Scafati.
A duel meet between the Salle Scafati and Drew University on December 18 resulted in a deadlock in all three weapons, 4-4 in foil and sabre, and 2-2 in epee. Representing the Salle Scafati were Carmen Dispenserie, Eddie Di Carlo, Wallace Hauber, and Charles H. Hirst. For Drew, the fencers were S. Jimminez, W. Mallory, A. Zwirling, H. Abbott, D. Alvarado, L. Brown, T. Marks, and D. Mueller.
