The Gascoignes Fencing Club has been disbanded and its members have joined the University Fencing Club, but the name and insignia of the Gascoignes will be preserved to designate an honor society within the University Club.
Two prep competitions were held in December. A men’s prep foil competition was held on December 6 in the University of Utah gymnasium, Salt Lake City. It attracted 12 contestants. Marshe Abbott of the University Fencing Club won first place, while his clubmate, Jerome Mooney, was second. Rulon Poole of the B. Y. U. Fencing Club was third. On December 7 a women’s prep foil contest was also held in the gymnasium. Eight girls entered the contest. Mrs. Ramona Boner took first place, while Ida Cowie was second and Katherine Conely was third. All place-winners represented the University Fencing Club.
There were 19 entries in the novice foil competition held in the University Gymnasium on January 10. Don McGarry and Marshe Abbott of the University Fencing Club were first and second and Rulon Poole of the B. Y. U. Fencing Club was third.
Five entrants in the men’s novice competition made a 125-mile trip over mountain roads (and we do mean mountain) in the dead of winter to enter the meet. Three other contestants made the 45-mile trip from Provo, Utah.
Nine girls entered the women’s novice foil contest the following day. Again all winners represented the University Fencing Club. Elma Gull placed first, Mrs. Ramona Boner was second and Carolle Davis was third.
