Sweeping all 18 sabre and epee bouts, the Crimson fencing team, as expected, swamped Brandeis 22-5 Saturday afternoon at the I.A.B. Coach Edo Marion's men had the match under control all the way, winning more than half their victories by scores of 5-2 or better.
The epee sweep was particularly gratifying to the Crimson as it was won without the aid of Al Gardner, first-ranked epee man, who fenced foil for this match. Bill Bennett, Jon Reckler, and Peter Piazza were the epee victors.
Coach Marion used 14 men for the 27 bouts, starting the A-team members in order to give them experience for this year's early Cornell match on Jan. 7. Usually, the B-team alone faces Brandeis.
Lajos Heder, John Piel, Jamie Pusey, Charles Staats, Paul Wining, and Jai Yuh fenced sabre. Ted Boersman, Gardner, captain Larry Johnson, Walter McBeth, and Connie Wheeler fenced for the foil team, which lost five of its nine bouts to the Judges.
