THE NATIONAL INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Norman Armitage Retains Sabre Title
Helene Mayer in Women's Foil and Captain Gustave Heiss in Epee Regain Former Titles.
Dean Cetrulo Wins Foil Championship.
Norman Armitage of the Fencers Club was the only 1940 champion to defend his title successfully when he won the National Sabre Championship for the seventh time. Helene Mayer of the San Francisco Division returned to national competition after an absence of one year to lay claim successfully to the Women's Foil Championship for the sixth time. Captain Gustave Heiss of the United States Army recaptured the National Epee Championship for the fourth time after having failed in other trials since 1936.
Although the 1940 title holders had been upset in every case in the team championships and in all but one case in the individual championships, these 1941 winners could hardly be looked upon with surprise. Their long standing competitive records may have minimized any tremendous surprise in their winning. They nevertheless deserve every credit for once more reaching the tops of what were actually very strong fields of contenders.
The real surprise of the championship week came in the National Foil Championship when Dean Cetrulo of the Salle Santelli, after an unimpressive season of A. F. L. A. competition, upset all precedent to win that championship without having held a national foil ranking previously. Opposed by four ranking foilsmen in the six-man finals he defeated three of them and lost only to the fourth by one touch. This placed him into a triple tie for first place which he won in a fence-off without the loss of a bout.

National Women's Foil Championship
Topping a field of 26 of America's leading foilswomen representing 12 different A. F. L. A. Divisions and Metropolitan New York, Miss Helene Mayer of the San Francisco Division recaptured the title she had vacated last year. Of the total of 113 bouts contested that day, Miss Mayer competed in 17, winning all with a score of 68 touches made to 17 received. There were eight girls in the final round and at the completion of these 28 bouts, Miss Mayer had a clear claim to her sixth American championship. Mrs. Marion Lloyd Vince, of the Salle d'Armes Vince, champion in 1928 and 1931, was a close second with 5 wins and 2 losses and Miss Maria Cerra, also of the Salle d'Armes Vince, took third place with 4 wins and 3 losses.

NATIONAL EPEE CHAMPIONSHIP
Salle Santelli—June 11th
After a season in which upsets had eliminated many of the ranking fencers in qualifying rounds, the National Epee Championships themselves completed these upsets by eliminating all but one of the 1940 ranking epeelists before the six-man finals. That this ranking finalist, Captain Gustave Heiss, U.S. Army, went on to win was perhaps to be expected, particularly since he had been the champion in three previous years.
Starting with 23 competitors from six Divisions, Metropolitan New York and Army at large, the championships required 94 separate bouts for decision. Captain Heiss competed 14 times, winning 11 bouts and losing 3 with 38 touches made and 20 touches received. His score in the final round was 5 wins and no losses with 15 touches made to 6 received.
Marvin Metzger of Columbia University was second with 3 wins, 1 double-loss and 1 loss. Andrew Boyd of Los Angeles Division was tied for third with Henrique Santos of the New York Athletic Club and Kevis Kapner of the Salle Santelli, each having won 2 bouts and all having received 11 touches. Places were awarded in that order on a close count of touches scored.

NATIONAL FOIL CHAMPIONSHIP
Salle Santelli—June 12th
The National Foil Championships began with 27 fencers from nine A.F.L.A. Divisions and Metropolitan New York. One hundred seventeen foil bouts had to be completed before Dean Cetrulo of the Salle Santelli was declared the winner. Cetrulo competed in 18 bouts, winning 13 and losing 5. His touch score was 76 touches made to 62 received.
This was the closest individual championship of the week with the six-man final round resolving itself into a four way tie for first place among Cetrulo, Dr. John R. Huffman of the N.Y.A.C., Silvio Giolito, also of the N.Y.A.C., and Alfred Snyder of the San Francisco Division. Each man had won three and lost two final bouts. In the final fence-off Cetrulo won all three bouts by the close scores of 5-4 each. A single misstep in any of these bouts would have altered the situation considerably. If the misstep had occurred in the Huffman bout, Huffman would have won the championship. If in the Giolito bout, Cetrulo, Huffman and Giolito would have had to fence off once more. If in the Snyder bout, Cetrulo and Huffman would have had to fence off for the title. It is the last touch that counts. Cetrulo made them and won.

NATIONAL SABRE CHAMPIONSHIP
New York Athletic Club—June 13th
As a fitting climax to a week of competition, the National Sabre Championship attracted the record number of competitors. This occurred despite the fact that foil is generally looked upon as the most popular weapon throughout the country as a whole. This championship began with 28 competitors representing 7 A.F.L.A. Divisions, Metropolitan New York and the Army at Large and required 119 individual bouts to complete.
Although there were some close upsets and some qualifications had to be determined upon a basis of touches, once the six-man finals was determined the results were henceforth clear. Norman Armitage of the Fencers Club successfully defended his 1940 title and established himself as a seven-time champion. In all he competed in 15 bouts, winning 14 and losing 1. His touch score was 72 touches made to 37 received. His record in the finals was clear with 5 straight victories. Dr. John R. Huffman of the N.Y.A.C. was second, losing only to Armitage, while Dr. Tibor Nyilas of the Salle Santelli was third, losing only to Armitage and Huffman.
