Feature of the épée contests was not the victory of Lieut. Gustave M. Heiss, U. S. A., who held the title in 1933 and 1934, but the first use in the national tournament of an intricate electric gadget, perfected by Fencer Alessandroni, which automatically records every touch.

S. team, none over 29, had considerable edge over their challengers, whose combined ages were almost twice...
