Harvard will be represented in epee by John Ager, Giles Costable, and George Yates: in foil by Chip Arp, Ray Frankmann, Bill Raney , and Joe Vera; and in saber by Carter, Gay, Bob Westhrin, and Tom Masterson...
Today's schedule has Win Briggs and Gorden Weir competing in the morning in the one meter diving preliminaries. Coach Hal Ulen will probably send Joe Fox, Norm Watkens, Shep Brown, and Bob MacVickar into the 50-yard freestyle heats, also in the morning. The semifinals will come off tonight...
