NATIONAL SABRE TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Saturday, July 1, 1939
The New York Athletic Club successfully defended its title again in this weapon which it has favored for so many years. Again the Salle Santelli team eased out all other contenders to play the role of runner-up. The Salle Santelli used replacements throughout the competition, but this day their reserve strength did not save them from defeat and they bowed 5-3 before the sabres of Huffman, Acel, and Marson. This smoothly functioning trio never appeared pressed to the limit and gave the impression throughout of fencing only hard enough to win each match as it came along.
