Serving in his two capacities as
fencing instructor and coach
without pay from the University,
Armato accompanies the team on
Intercollegiate contests. This last
week his team went to the State
University of Iowa in Iowa City
with no expenses paid by the Uni
versity, "We did pretty well, too," Ar
mato explained. "We were only
defeated 14-11 by SLT varsity."
Fencing was begun at the Uni
versity three years ago by John
Giele, who was a graduate stu
dent in sociology at the time.
Giele has since organized a fenc
ing club at Kansas University. He

Three Weapons
Fencing is done with three Athletic Director Bill Orwig not-
weapons, the foil, the sabre and m lna' " university ttas never
the epee. Each weapon is used in recognized fencing as an intercol-
a particular match, called a bout.
Armato added that three men are
usually employed on each weapon
and each man has three bouts.
Every time a man makes a
score, he is given a point. Five
scores by an individual constitute
a game."
that the University
Athletic Department has never
given any money to the fencing
club. "We ought to have a budget
which could help with the expenses
involved," the versatile young
man commented.
"For example, the Sta'e Univer
sity of Iowa is given $2,000 a year
for travel expenses and $600 for
equipment. We are given $200
worth of equipment by the De
partment of Physical Education,
but that hardly takes care of the
club's expenses," the instructor
said.
Armato explained that he had
asked the Athletic Department for
funds for the fencers, but the de-

legiate sport, and so no money
has ever been set aside for the
group.
"As far as the University is con
cerned, the fencing club is just a
club of men who like to fence,"
Orwig said. The Athletic Director
stated that another example of
why fencing is not "recognized"
by his department is that faculty
members and graduate students
participate in the meets.
He added that as far as he can
remember he didn't think that any
action had ever been introduced
to make fencing a recognized
sport.
But Armato recalled his own
conversation with Orwig in which
he asked for funds. The fencing
coach related that Orwig said
there was no precedent for giving
lunds to the fencers and there
was no reason why they should
start now.
Armato related somewhat of a
dilemma the fencing club faces.
"With the funds we have, we can
only handle 20 persons in the club
at the most. If it is ever to get
any recognition, it probably should
have more members."
Then the fencing instructor stat
ed that improvement can best be
seen by competition. Without funds
there can be little competition, he
continued.
Major Problem
Dan Trued, a senior in Arts and
Sciences who is a member of the
fencing organization, stated that
the major problem of the organi
zation is obtaining young under
graduate students to create a pool
oi lencers from which to draw
Only by having more than the
seven men in the club now can
we have sufficient personnel so
that graduate students and the in
structor will not have to compete."

FENCING EXPERT Listructor in the English Department, Paul
Armato, is also an instructor of fencing and coach of the fencing
club at the University. He feels that the sport of fencing is prob
ably the "most demanding of all sports."
Coliseum Beat
. . . by george moyer
Members of the team are Frank
Tlrro, Wayne Beuhrer and W e
Pittark on sabre, Nathan Miller
and Cliff Souhier on epee and
Trued, Armato and William Dally
on the foil.
"Maybe we have lost sight of
the real purpose of sports," Trued
stated.
Fencing 'Qualifies'
"If a program is beneficial to
students by being an excellent
physical and mental discipline, it
should qualify as a sport in any
language," Trued noted.
It is considered a sport in just
about ever oilier language," Ar
mato a'ded. Russian fence from
childhood and the sport is loved
in France, Italy, and most other
European countries."
Armato said that he and Giele
had wanted to make the sport ac
cepted in the Big Eight. "I was
discouraged in this venture by Or
wig who told me that attempts to
get fencing recognized had failed
before and would probably fail
again."
He could not see why, however.
"Nov. I encourage the members
of the fencing club to buy their
own equipment. They are willing
to do that because the sport is so
wonderful," Armato said.
This semester it will be Hie aim
of the Dailv Nebraskan soorts
page to provide its subscribers
with the best and most complete
coverage possible of University
and Big Eight athletics.
Included in this semester's for
mat will be columns covering the
sports scene as observed by the
average University student, as
well as analysis by the sports
staff. Gary Frenzel, an old stand
by, wll appear regularly as well
as Emmie Limpo, with skirts in
sports covering the girls' side of
athletics. Del Rassmussen will
continue to do Courtny Quips,
freshman Rennie Ashleman will
enter the field with an as yet
doubtful brain child, and ex-editor
Bob Martel will pop up from time
to time to give us his word from
downtown. Of course, the public
will from time to time be sub
jected to Coliseum Beat, but, as
Ashleman put it, we will try to
overcome that.
Intramural Award
In addition to the regular Star
of the Week award, the paper
will present a certificate to the
campus organization that does
the best overall Job In Intramu
rals for the school year. Also
there will be features covering
outstanding performances by In
dividualg and the problems of
maintaining the University ath
letic establishment.
Interesting Semester
From here it looks like it will
be an interesting semester. Once
again, Tony Sharpe will have the
H::skers in contention for the Big
Eight title in baseball while Frank
Sevigne will have stars Keith
Gardner and Joe Mullins leading
the Scarlet and Cream in what
should develop into one of the best
conference track struggles in re
cent years. Bruce Russell, intra
mural fall tennis champ, and vet
erans Art Weaver and Bill North
boost the tennis outlook, and the
intramural Softball chase is loom
ing with good teams in every
league.
Watch this page for reports on
all fronts of the winter and spring
sports campaigns.
Midland-Hastings Contest
Out of curiosity to see how the
Nebraska College Conference
stacked up as a basketball league,
I witnessed a contest between Mid
land and Hastings last week. Has
tings was hard pressed to make
off with the victory and might
have been thinking ahead to
Wayne whom they were scheduled
to encounter the next night.
From where I sat, it looked
like the University frosh could
have given either team a very
long night. The philosophy of
both teams seemed to be to get
the ball down the court and gun
one.
This may be a rather harsh
judgment, since both teams were
undoubtedly saving something for
the next night. Indeed, both sides
had star performers who would
have looked good in any league
with the time to get acclimated
to the plays and the surroundings.
Also, since I sat close to the
floor at one end, it was hard to
follow the play under both bas
kets and one game is a very poor
criteria for a valid judgment.
Osborne
Tom Osborne wag the Hastings
spark. Osborne at 6'4" looks un
gainly but he has an unerring
eye and his loose-jointed style
of play is well calculated to
catch opponents dozing. Osborne
made few mistakes and handled
the ball much too well to be
written off as strictly a scorer,
("oolin
For Midland, a Lincoln boy,
Marty Koolin, provided the punch.
Koohn is small by Big Eight
standards (6') but he showed a
nice scoring touch and he knew
what the basketball was for when
he got it in his hands.

Husker track and basketball
teams will be travelling this week
end, and will face some of the
toughest competition of the year.
Frank Sevigne's talented crew
of trackmen will compete in the
annual Michigan State Relays on
Saturday afternoon.
Led by the sophomore sensation
from Canada, Joe Mullins, the
Huskers are expected to make a
good showing among some of the
country's topflight athletes. Mul
lins will anchor the mile and 2
mile relay teams.
Keith Gardner, Olympic perform
er of 1956, and Keith Young, an
other jet from Jamaica, are ex
pected to lead the Husker shuttle
hurdle relay team. Bill Hawkins
and Bill Marten are also members
of this team which is expected
to make a good showing among
some of the best shuttle relay
teams of the nation.
Other Huskers expected to per
form well are: Ken Ash, Knolly
Barnes and Mike Feming in the
2 mile relay, Don House, Fleming
and Gardner in the mile relay,
Ken Pollard in the pole vault, and
lead the Huskers against Kansas.
Oklahoma will be the opposition
on Monday and, like Kansas, they
too will be out to avenge an earlier
los at the hands of the Huskers.
The Sooners, who own an 11-4
overall record, will be mighty
tough to say the least. Several
sophomores, led by Dennis Price
and Jack Marsh, 6-7 center, will
provide the Sooner's scoring
punch.
Two Prep Stars
To Attend NU
Two Nebraskan high school
football stars have announced they
will attend the University next
fall, according to Bill Jennings,
varsity football coach.
Phil Case, 195 pound All-Stater
from Tekamah and LeRoy Zierke,
honorable mention All-stater from
Pierce, will enroll at the Univer
sity, Jennings stated. .
Case was a Class B All-State
end and also competed in track.
He plans to enter Engineering Col
lege. Zierke played four years of
football, basketball, track and
baseball. He was named to the all
conference team and was honor
able mention in the all-state nominations.
Swimmers Meet

The Huskers will have to stop
Wilt Chamberlain who will be try

lead which he lost last week.
Wilt's overeagerness to score
points against the Huskers could
be just the break the Huskers
need in order to defeat the Kan

be sold short because they will
be at full strength once again.
