FencersHostTournament
The University of Kansas was host to a small, open-season fencing tournament Sunday in Karnataka from the Lawrence and Kansas City area converged on the KU campus to camp out and compete in the age and size competition.
Most of the members of the KU fencing team did not participate in the event. Team captain Patrick Christman, Whittier, Calif. senior explained that they would think most of the team members were ready for competition this early in the season.
Christian said that many of the members were new to the sports, and they take weeks of practice to learn how to move the movements and techniques.
The tournament was sponsored by the Kansas division of the American Fencer's League of America. It was conducted on an NCAA collegiate fencing which is run on a team vs. team basis.
Two members of the University community entered the epee event. The epee is a competition
weapon with a large bell-shaped hand guard and used only for attack against the opponent are scored by hitting an opponent with the tip of the blade only. Else competition is scored by targeting and the entire body is target area.
Frank Anger, assistant professor of biology and a faculty member in Pan-American University captured first in the field of 9 epenests. Anger was undefeated in his efforts.
In second place of the epe competition was Ken Muller fencing for the Kansa City Metropolitan Fencers' Club. Muller is a KU alumni and former member of the KU fencing team, the NCAA National Fencing Championships as an undergraduate.
Tony Carter, a member of the fencing team in Kansas City, placed third. Carter is the AFLA national junior fencing team.
KU senior Glen Cunningham Jr. also competed in the epee event. He placed sixth in overall performance of the day.
There were no KU entries in the sabre event. The competition was more like a standard flexible blade which is triangular in cross section. A fencer acces by either thrashing his arm or cutting with the edge of the blade. He would be shaped protective guard similar to the guard of a cavalry sabre.
Paul Boe, representing the Kansas City Metropolitan Area Fencer's Club placed first in the event. Orlan Hill, a member of the same club and chairman of the Kickoff Club, was second. Randy Bennett of the University of Missouri at Kansas City was third.
Christman said that the KU team members would soon be ready for competition in upcoming men's. The first NCAA fencing tournament in which KU will participate is the Illinois Collegiate Invitation tournament which will be held at the University of Illinois in the first week of December, Christman said.

Fencers Square Off For A Bout
The two fencers pictured here are using the epee, the modern version of the dueling sword. The competitors score points against their opponents by thrusting against their opponent's target area
(in spee it the whole body) and depressing a tip on the end of the blade which register on an anvil.
