...Only one veteran of former University teams has returned this year. Gay, who was on the 1916-17 team, is acting captain and is a strong fencer. A call for new candidates has been issued.

Besides the University, Columbia, Bowdoin, Pennsylvania, Yale and the Navy have entered teams, with the midshipmen the strongest opponents of Coach Leslabay's pupils for team honors.
