Fencers from Army, Navy, Yale, Harvard and Princeton assembled during Christmas vacation to hold the second annual invitation pentagonal individual championships. They were held this year on December 23rd at the Salle Santelli. Abraham Campo of Navy retained the sabre crown, while Burns Sport of Navy won the foil title. Top honors in the epee division went to Jack Zaugg, captain of the Princeton team.

Campo tied for first in sabre with Philip Viscidi and Arthur Litt, both of Yale. The three-cornered deadlock still existed after the fence-off. Finally, touches against were counted and Campo won on that basis.
