While the men made most of the headlines in the recent World University Games in Moscow, a 5-year-old woman who prefers to stay quiet little noise of her own in a little known sport.
Kathy Richert-Boe, a fourth year student at the University of Kansas Medical Center, won a bronze medal as part of the five member United States women's fencing team. The team finished sixth in the competition.
Members for the U.S. fencing team were selected on a basis of points accumulated through a series of competitions over the past three years—Boe. A final wager was held in Jude.
Richert-Boe started fencing in her sophomore year at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. "I was taking a gym class that year and my teacher just happened to the fencing coach. She asked me to continue fencing and I did," she said.
She also participated in the World University Games in 1970 at Turin, Italy. She served as a member of the U.S. Army.

made the semi-finals in individual competition in fencing but as far as team events,
nissy year I was impressed, not just with the foil team, but with everyone. We won six places and three medals, where in every game we had a win. Everyone was amazed that we did so well."
Each nation's fencing team, is composed of four members and an alternate. "At the
games, we fence a team, not individually." Richert-Boe said. "Each team has four members that fence against each other, and they must be together to mean that there are 16 bouts all together."
Richtert-Boe said this is the first year that any television coverage has been given to the World University games. "None had really heard about the games or knew that they existed, although they are held every two years," she said.
"The only year that the games were not held as scheduled was in 1969. The games were to be held in Portugal but there was an uprising against the government so they were held the following year. The next games will be held in 1975."
Richert-Boe said that meeting people from all over the world was an integral part of attending the World University Games. "Each country has their own pin and all the people at the games trade their pins and try to collect as many different
pins from as many different countries as they can," the added.
The most emotional moment at the games, she said, was the opening ceremony. "It was so massive with 70 different countries represented and everyone cheering. I got to meet all the team members, too."
"My husband is also a fencer and my biggest supporter. He's a libber, too," she said, referring to human liberation, men's as well as women's.
"I'm really for human liberation," she said. "Men should be allowed to do things that are considered part of the female role if they want." Everyone should do what they want.
The name, Rictbert-Boe, is a combination of her maiden name, Rictbert, and her husband's name, Boe. After their marriage they had their last name legally changed to

As a fourth year medical student, Richert-Boea said she was going to medical school to become a doctor, not necessarily to further the causes of women's libration.
Oakland shortstop Bert Campaneris continued his hitting streak against Kansas City in the weekend series between the A's and Royals but to no avail as K.C. took two

out of three games from the team that stands between them and a divisional team.
"I want to be a good doctor," she said. "I'm not doing it because of woman's lib. However, if my becoming a doctor helps the cause, that's fine."
'Hawk Netters Complete Sweep In Open Meet
University of Kansas freshman tennis player Bill Cullen fought back from a first set loss to defeat teammate Dennis Cahill in the State Closed Tennis Tournament in Salina.
Carke, who is from Leawood, lost the first 1-4 but came back 6-2, 6-3 to win.
The tournament, open to Kansas players only, drew about 50 of the top men players in the state. The open competition began with finals being played yesterday morning.
Cahill, a freshman from Eagle, Wisc., upset top-ranked Randy McGraft 7-5, 8-4 in the semifinals to earn a shot at Clarke. McGraft is a former Kansas State University star and was second in the Big Eight in 1971.
Clark defeated second seeded Mickey
otates, a former big Eight player, 7-6,
6-3.
Eight KU players made the trip and seven made it into the quarterfinals. KU tennis coach Mike Howard said he was very pleased with his players' performances.
"I'm impressed with all of them," he said, "but especially with Cahill and Clarke. These kids are only freshmen and they grow up in the two top seeds in an open tournament."
Howard also had praise for senior Carlos Goff of São Paulo, Brazil. Howard said his team was playing well until a pullever in his arm forced him out of the combo.
"This team is young and I'm looking toward to a real good season," Howard said.
