ST. LOUIS
In an unusually successful men’s prep foil competition Frischel and Fleming tied for first with six wins and two losses each. Fleming won the fence-off by a score of 5-2. With one exception, all the contestants were pupils of Lester Liebman who is coach at both St. Louis University and the Downtown Y. M. C. A.
The men’s novice foil tournament resulted in a three-way tie between Ben Harris, Charles Morgan, and Lester Liebmann. Harris took first place in the fence-off.
Fencing his way through the field without a defeat, Handlin Walsh won the novice sabre competition. Second place went to Roger Petersen, third to Charles Morgan.
For the fourth straight season the Fencers Club foils team, composed of Conway Briscoe, Lawrence Gregory and William Chiprin, captured the open team championship. La Septieme’s team—Tracy Barnes, Ben Harris and Everett DuPen—was defeated 5-2 by the defending champions; and the Vacias trio of Miller, Hardin Walsh and Edward Maher, lost by a 5-4 score.
Fencing for the St. Louis Y. W. C. A., Misses Lucille Haeni, Dorothy Kickham and Gertrude Michaels won the women’s novice foil team championship. A composite trio made up of Misses Dawson, Edna Gustavson and Schweigg finished in second place, with Edna Gustavson winning all her bouts. Four other teams competed in the meet.
