Helene Mayer, the National Champion, won all of her bouts in the six-girl finals of the Northern California Division’s Open Women’s Foil Competition at Mills College on April 10. Miss Mayer, representing the San Francisco Fencers Club, made a perfect record, permitting no touches to be made against her during the round robin. Emilie Romaine of the Funke Fencing Academy took second place, Lura Morse of the San Francisco Fencers Club was third, while Bernadetta Fratessa of the Oakland Fencing Club was fourth on the basis of touches after all had tied in bouts with 3 wins and 2 losses apiece. The other finalists were Lydia Riedener of the Salle Visconti and Anne McDonagh of the San Francisco Fencers Club. Fourteen contestants took part in the competition.
