INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE
OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF ATHLETICS
6 NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE
CENTRAL 2824 CHICAGO

 

November 7, 1928

Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
Director of Athletics,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

I have been making some inquiry regarding the
college fencing rules per your letter of October 3lst.
Mr. Merrill, in charge of the fencing at the University
of Chicago,advises me that the Western Conference has
been using the old rules of the Western Intercollegiate
Gymnastic, Wrestling and Fencing Association, which
association had charge of all gymnastics, wrestling and
fencing meets in this section prior to the time that
the Conference took over these meets and made them
closed meets for Conference institutions only. Mr.
Merrill tells me that there has been some discussion
about changing to the rules of the Amateur Fencers League
of America, which rules I understand are used by the
colleges in the east. I am writing for some copies
of these rules and will be glad to forward you a copy
when I receive them if you wish. Further, I am enclosing
a copy of the old rules of the Western Intercollegiate
Gymnastic, Wrestling and Fencing Association.

 

Yours very truly,
Sela S
a Secre to
John L. Griffith.
