Shawnigan Lake School Magazine FENCING TEAM 1939 M. Gandossi, R. H. Milne, W. T. S. Pearce, J. A. Burns. B. C. CHAMPIONSHIPS The Semi-Final and Final pools of the B. C. Men ' s Foil Champion- ship were held at the School on March 25th. After some good fencing Pearce headed the final pool and retained for Shawnigan the Cham- pionship won last year by Bell. Out of an original entry of fifty-four, thirteen contestants took part, five from Vancouver, four from Vic- toria, and four from the School. Milne, Pearce, Burns and Gandossi were our entrants. Milne, who had been fencing well throughout the season, unfortunately lost his form and was eliminated in the first pool, while Burns just failed to qualify from the second. In the final, Pearce fenced exceptionally well and quite overshadowed the rest of the competitors, winning five fights in succession and only once being taken to the last hit. He also retained the Cup for the best stylist. Gandossi ' s performance in placing fifth in his first year in the team was also most creditable. [ 20 ]

Score : Milne : 3 Avins, one defeat ; Pearce : two wins, two defeats ; Burns : one win, three defeats ; Nieholls : no win, four defeats. Total : six wins, ten defeats.
