Norman One of Favorites
To Capture IC4A Crown
Steve Machooka of Cornell, Gerry Young of Michigan
State, and Gerry Norman of Penn State are the experts’ pick
to win the individual IC4A crown, but don’t overlook the
name of Howie Deardorff. The little Lion looms as a darkhorse
to take all the honors in New York, Monday.
“I would say that on Howie’s
late season performances he
definitely has a shot at the title,”
Lion coach Chick Werner said.
This gives the Lion harriers
a big one-iwo shot for the
crown, and Sieve Moorhead
can't be ruled out.
Moorhead finished tenth in last
year’s meet, just two notches
below Norman.
Steve has been running con
sistently this year, but has not
really broken loose in any of
State’s dual meets.
Cornell's Machooka has to be
considered the out - and - out
favorite off his performance
this year.
Machooka won every dual meet
he competed in, and last week
captured the Heptagonal crown by
100 yards over Yale’s Bob Mack.
While Cornell will be in con
tention for the team title, Michi
gan State figures to really give
the Lions a fight.
The Spartans are led by
Young, who finished third in last
year’s IC4A meet and fourth in
the NCAA championships.
Young finished first when the
Spartans handed the Lion har
riers a 27-28 defeat earlier this
season.
Werner is wary of the Spartan
team. “Michigan State always
comes along slowly and by the
end of the season they are at
their peak," Werner said.
Based on its depth, Manhattan
has to be considered a .threat for
the title. Dan Cory is the main
Jasper contender, but his times
have been slower than the rest
of the leaders.
Norman is anxious to really
extend himself Monday. He was
nursing an injury when the
Lions met Cornell and Michigan
State, and he couldn't run all
out against Machooka and
Young.
Norman won all six dual meets
last year and copped the first
Lion meet this year against Pitt.
Then Machooka inflicted the first
varsity loss on the Englishman.

Fencers Have Versatile Coach
For a man who seven years
ago didn’t know the first thing
about fencing, Penn State
coach Dick Klima has made
rapid strides toward perfec
tion in that sport.
In a sport where it takes years
and years to become a perfection
ist, Klima has mastered the tech
niques in a comparatively short
time through constant practice
and long hours of work under the
great fencing master of the world.
Due lo a major shakeup in
the athletic policy of the Uni
versity, fencing, along with rifle,
ice hockey and swimming, was
dropped after the 1951 season.
This winter, Penn State will
again field a fencing team. The
Lion swordsmen will inaugu
rate their season Feb. 3, against
Johns Hopkins.
Of all the. coaches at Rec Hall,
Klima’s background has to be the
most unusual and interesting.
While working on a Bachelor’s
Degree in physical education at
Cortland State, Kilma participated
in football, was unbeaten as a
wrestler during his freshman and
senior years, and was the New
York three-meter diving cham
pion. He also participated in the
school’s actings guild and modern
dance theater.
He then embarked on a danc
ing career and performed ai the
renowned Metropolitan Ballet
Theater and other well-known
theaters throughout the coun
try.
When the Navy called, Klima
didn't leave his athletic career
behind. He won the Navy fly
weight boxing title and went on
to cop the Eastern Seaboard title
in competition with the other
service branches.
After the war, Klima went back
to dancing, .which he did profes
sionally until he entered the Uni
versity of Illinois to work on a
Master’s Degree.
Aided by his dancing career,

Klima developed into a fine free
exercise man in gymnastics. He
also did some television shows on
the sport.
While at the University. Kli-'
ma came in contact with Mac
Garret, the lUini fencing coach.
It was then that Klima decided
he wanted to be a fencing coach
and fencer.
For two years, Garret worked
with Klima, teaching him all the

of the sport.
However, Klima decided that ha
wanted to develop a style of his
own, so he embarked on a ven
ture that was to find him study
ing under some of the great fenc
ers of the world.
Among these were Csaba
Elthes, considered to be the
greatest sabre coach in the
world, and George Sanielli, the
renowned fencing maestra.
He studied epe'e and foil under
Michel Alaux, the French coaclu
who also coached Christian
D’Oriola, the two-time Olympic
foil champion.
“I wanted to develop a style of
my own," Klima said, “so I de
cided to study under different
men. No one wants to be a dupli
cate of another fencer. I simply,
listened to all of them and then
decided which techniques I liked
best.” .
To gain experience in compe
tition, Klima entered tourna
ments at the New York A.C.,
where he faced the best Ameri
can fencers, including former
collegiate champions and Olym
pic stars.
In 1955, Klima joined the Fenc
ing Coaches of America. To be
come a member of this organiza
tion, one must have the sponsor
ship of two other coaches. Klima’s
sponsors were Garret and Vinca
Castello, coach of the present New
York University NCAA cham
pions.
