ST. LOUIS
Fencing his way through seven bouts without a defeat, William Chiprin won the men’s open foil tournament. Second place went to Capt. Fred Seibert, third to Alexander Solomon. Tracy Barnes, last year’s victor, did not defend his title.
In her second season of competitive fencing, Miss May Brady took the honors in the women’s open foil meet. Finishing second and third were Miss Edna Gustavson and Miss Vera Martin.
Robert Miller captured the sabre honors, decisively defeating Lon Hocker and Charles Morgan, who placed second and third respectively. Some weeks later Miller collected his second title of the season by winning the men’s three-weapon individual meet. Only one touch behind him, Capt. Fred Siebert was second, while Lon Hocker finished third.
First place in the men’s open epee tournament went to Capt. Fred Siebert, who did not lose a bout and was only touched twice throughout the competition. Robert Miller took second place, and James Steere third.
The Kiwanis women’s foil team trophy was captured by a Y. W. C. A. team composed of Miss Ervilla Droll, Miss Lucille Haenni and Miss Olivia Mewes. This same trio, competing as the St. Louis Fencers, was defeated in the women’s open foil team meet by the Salle d’Armes Vical team of Misses Brady, Agricola and Gustavson. The Vical fencers took the title.
Four teams entered the women’s novice foil competition, which was won by the Y. W. C. A. second trio—Misses Haenni, Kickham and Michael.
Tied for first place, Miss Barbara Ellison defeated Miss Dorothy Kickham 4-1 to win the women’s novice foil meet. Third place went to Miss Dell Dawson, who had previously captured the women’s prep tournament. In the prep competition Miss Irmgard Mahling placed second and Miss Dorothy Petrov third.
