Illinois
“Aflaid Adages,” a monthly publication, was inaugurated by the Illinois division in February and seems already to have become an established part of the Chicago fencing season. The first issues have sketched out the program for the year and published news of interest to fencers in the divisional area. The “Adages” staff is composed of Arthur Cohen, publicity chairman, and Demarest Polacheck, secretary of the division.
The first issue showed that the division is conducting an extensive publicity campaign, both in the form of press releases and a radio program over Station WGN, with Frank Righeimer, long a ranking fencer, at the microphone.
The schedule of the Illinois division has been altered by the fact that the U. S. Navy has requisitioned the space in the University of Chicago’s Bartlett gymnasium where most of the competitions were listed to be held, but the events have been re-scheduled for the University’s Fieldhouse and most of them have by now been completed.
The mid-west championships in foil for women and in three weapons for men will be held at the fieldhouse on Sunday, May 10. Preliminaries in all weapons will be staged during the morning and afternoon, with finals in the evening. The date has been advanced from May 24, originally announced.
