Five Events Held in Southern California
The 1941 season of the Southern California division wound up with five meets held in November and December, a total of sixty-seven fencers competing. On November 28, Josef Lampl of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, fencing on his home strips, took first place over a field of twenty-one in the intermediate foil competition. His clubmate Simon Carfagno finished second, and Robert Cousineau of the Faulkner School of Fencing was third.
After two three-way ties in the finals Mavis Myre, Faulkner School of Fencing, emerged the victor in the women’s junior foil meet, with Polly Craus, Faulkner School, and Camille Bayer, Cavaliers, placing second and third respectively. There were thirteen competitors in the contest, which was held at the Hollywood Athletic Club on December 6.
Edward Carfagno, Los Angeles A. C., captured the men’s senior foil title on December 12 at his own club, with five fencers competing. Andrew Boyd, also of the Los Angeles A. C., was the runner-up, and third place went to Herbert Sauke of the Faulkner School.
That same day at the Los Angeles A. C. the men’s junior foil team meet was held, with four teams entered. First place went to the home team composed of Josef Lampl, Simon Carfagno and Al Carfagno.
In what was perhaps the most exciting competition of the season, Alfred Snyder of the Olympic Club of San Francisco won the open foil title on December 19 at the Los Angeles A. C. Snyder, Pacific Coast foils champion and ranked fourth nationally, defeated Edward Carfagno in the final bout by a 5 to 4 score. Carfagno, Los Angeles A. C., finished second, and his clubmate Josef Lampl was third out of a field of sixteen.
