Barringer High School of Newark, N. J., retired the second Anthony J. Drexell Biddle trophy for high and preparatory school foil teams by downing a field of 22 squads at New York University on January 31. The Barringer squad of Jerry Falcone, Allan DeCicco, Orlando Salvato and Ralph Tedeschi downed Abraham Lincoln High of New York, 5–2, and Stuyvesant High of New York, 5–2, in the final round. Lincoln defeated Stuyvesant, 5–4, for runner-up honors.

Stuyvesant retired the first Biddle trophy in 1938 with its second straight team victory, while Barringer repeated its triumph of 1940 to gain the second and deciding leg on the second trophy.
