Penn State's fencers were
just a little too cagey for their
own good Saturday and there
in lies the tale of the Nittany

"We outfoxed gurselves," Lion,
coach Dick Klima said yesterday.'
"We knew that they - would be
expecting our pressing game. So,
we switched at the last minute
to a slower game, attacking and
then retreating land trying to
pick them up corning in. Unfor
tunately, it didn't work out."

showed a big improvement from

State's opening triumph over
Johns Hopkins). 1: expect him to
really do well in the future."
Syracuse coach Alexander . Da
ko was pleased with the strong
performance of his !veteran epee
team. Ed Siedlick and Art Hacker,
the top Orange epee men, won
five of six bouts between them.
Last year Siedlick won the North
Atlantic Conference epee title.
Hacker was sixth in the. same
competition, missing
.third place
on a count of touches.
THERE WERE just three sen

on Syracuse's squad. The Seniors
were Siedlick, the Orange cap
