Heron Trophy Meet in Northern California
The Young Italian Club quintet of Salvatore Giambra, Lawrence Bocci, Frank Giambra, Victor Vari, and Armando Duccini, with Mario Del Chiaro as alternate, was the winner of the Heron Trophy competition for open foil teams in the Northern California division. The Young Italian Club combination emerged undefeated in a series of dual meets with six other clubs of the San Francisco district, including two representing the Olympic Club, the Funke Fencing Academy, the Oakland Fencing Club and the University of California, which finished in that order behind the winners.
In the two deciding matches of the annual competition, the Italian group subdued both Olympic Club teams by a score of 13–12. Top individual scorer of the month-long series of matches was Alfred Snyder of the Olympic seconds, fourth ranked nationally, who won 22 out of 25 bouts. Second with 20 victories was Salvatore Giambra of the winning team.
