PACIFIC COAST CHAMPIONSHIPS
Twelve individual and eight team champions were crowned at the Pacific Coast Championships in San Francisco on the week-end of April 19. Four defenders—Alfred R. Snyder of the Olympic Club in foil, Edward Carfagno of the Los Angeles Athletic Club in sabre, the Los Angeles A. C. open sabre team and the same club's junior sabre trio—retained the titles they won last year at Los Angeles.
The point score totals were much closer than last year, but the Southern California division, despite being outpointed in individual first places, took the final victory with five firsts, eight seconds, eight thirds and six team titles. The Northern division finished with seven first places, four seconds, four thirds and two team events.
In each weapon, open, intermediate and junior individual titles were contested, as well as open and junior team championships. The results by weapons were as follows:
