A. F. L. A. Interscholastic Competition
John F. Mulligan, 18-year-old senior from the James Madison High School in New York City, won the annual interscholastic individual foil competition, sponsored by the New York Metropolitan Committee of the A. F. L. A. This competition was held at the Washington Irving High School on May 17th and attracted 44 schoolboy competitors from New York City and vicinity.
Mulligan swept through the eight-boy final round undefeated with only 7 touches made against him, no opponent scoring more than twice. He had just previously won the P. S. A. L. individual foil crown and had also taken first place in that same organization's important award for best fencing form, making him the first boy to take all three firsts.
Frank Paniatowski of Eastern District High School placed second with six wins and one loss, while John Marzulli of Barringer High School (N. J.) was third on touches over David Ozarow of Bayside High School after both boys had tied with four wins and three losses each.
