NATIONAL THREE WEAPON TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Six teams entered the National Three Weapon Team Championship at the Fencers Club on April 7th. The New York Athletic Club "A" team with Warren Dow fencing foil, Leo G. Nunes fencing epee, and Dr. John R. Huffman fencing sabre, completed their five matches without defeat to win the Calnan Memorial Trophy for this Championship. All teams did not complete their matches, and so further places in the tournament are not exactly determinable. The Fencers Club won 3 matches and lost 1, with 1 match unfenced. The Salle Santelli "A" team, the defending champions, won 3 and lost 2 with a completed schedule. Dow and Huffman of the winning team were undefeated in their respective weapons.
In the following summary, the fencers of each team are listed in the order of the weapon they fenced; viz. Foil, Epee, and Sabre:
