Fencing in the Pan American Games
The Pan American Olympic Games are scheduled to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from November 21 to December 6, 1942. American participation in these Games is the responsibility of the United States of America Sports Federation, formerly the American Olympic Association. The Federation is made up of twenty-six games committees, each of which is responsible for advising the United States Pan American Games Committee on all matters having to do with its sport, including the determination of the place, time and method of holding the tryouts to select the team. Each committee must also nominate the coach, manager and members of the team and assume the responsibility for raising the funds necessary to defray the expenses of its team.
The 1942 Pan American Games Fencing Committee has thirteen members as follows:
Dr. John R. Huffman, Chairman
Miguel A. de Capriles, Secretary
Dr. Norman C. Armitage
Edward Carfagno
Robert Driscoll
Dernell Every
Dr. Graeme M. Hammond
Gustavus T. Kirby
F. Barnard O'Connor
Dr. Francis Riebel
Leon M. Schoonmaker
Lt. A. J. Stuart
Harold Van Buskirk
It held its first meeting on November 18 at which it elected its own chairman and secretary and made preliminary plans for its year's activities. Except for the fact that between $700 and $800 will be required to finance every member of its team, the deliberations of the committee have been kept confidential. It is believed that an early release for publication will be made.
