NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Alfred R. Snyder of the Olympic Club repeated his victory of last year in the Northern California Division's open foil championship, held on March 14, defeating Salvatore Giambra of the G G 5, 5-1, in a fence-off after they had tied with four victories and one loss apiece at the end of the regular competition. Harry Mortimer of the Olympic Club took third place from his teammate, Louis Lataillade, with an Olympic touch-score of .526 to .485.
The Olympic Club's "A" team of Louis Lataillade, Alfred R. Snyder and Ferard Leicester, captured the division's open epee team championship on March 19 over a field of three other teams. The winners defeated the Oakland Fencing Club 5-4, the Olympic Club seconds 5-4, and the University of California, 5-2. The other teams finished in that order.
The San Francisco Fencers Club, led by Helene Mayer, swept matches from four other teams to emerge undefeated in the Northern California women's open foil team championship on March 21. They defeated the Funke Fencing Academy 6-3, the G G 5 8-1, the Funke seconds 7-2, and Stanford University 9-0. The winning team was composed of Miss Mayer, Roberta Fritz, Marcelle Woollen and Lura Morse.
Four straight victories won the Northern California men's junior foil team title for the University of California trio of Noel Spiess, Jack Hovick and Richard Dahl on March 21. They downed the G G 5 squad 5-0, the Funke Fencing Academy 5-2, the Oakland Fencing Club 5-3 and Stanford University 5-0.
