AMER ICAN FFNlI N(; IE PINT: R Rumors in fencing have ranged from the "secret thrusts" of t old duelling days to the latest wild story about equipment. Recen there was taik of a rule, a requirement for the 19 NCAP,'s, that the bib be sewn permanently to the mas~( Since the is no such rule, some people who had spent a lot of time, effort, al money to locate such masks were understandably irritated. Who knows where these stories start? The FiE-which mak ihe technical rules for fencing-has not announced any such requil ment. Neither has the AFLA or any collegiate association. A propos now completely shelved, had been circulating last year: it called f a separate NCAA rule boo:<; O:1e of its rules called for bibs to attached "continuously," starting with the 1973 NCAA's, May that's where the stcr; started?
