Eastern Intercollegiate Championships
A sensational Seton Hall College fencing team swept through the Eastern intercollegiate fencing championship at Lehigh, April 4, taking four team titles and all nine individual places in foil, sabre and epee. The Setonians won 52 out of a possible 53 bouts, losing only one bout all day against six other teams, representing Rutgers, Lehigh, Lafayette, Panzer, Wagner and St. Lawrence. Rutgers, scoring 32 points as against Lehigh’s 23½ and Lafayette’s 17½, won the Middle Three Trophy.
The crack South Orange outfit started by taking eighteen straight bouts in the foil, with Austin Prokop taking the Division A title, Harry Boutsikaris the Division B and Peter Milone, Division C.
It was in the epee event that the Setonians lost their only bout when Peter Milone, fencing in Division B, dropped a bout, 3–2, to Bill Rooney, of Panzer, and was thus thrown into a triple tie with Rooney and Norman Brandt, of Rutgers. In the fence-off for first place Milone vanquished both men to take the B title. In the A division of this same weapon Bob Girardot swept through with ease. Sam D’Ambola, a sophomore and a left-hander on the Seton Hall combine, took Division C.
In the Sabre Fred Gillen, Al Sully and Harry Boutsikaris, all of Seton Hall, captured A, B and C titles, respectively.
Milone and Boutsikaris were double winners with Boutsikaris going through foil and sabre undefeated.
The Rutgers team, which finished in second place, was the only group to press the Setonians. They carried away four second-place prizes and three thirds besides the Middle Three title.
