Valenzuela Selected to All-Ivy Squad

Sabre-man Terry Valenzuela, the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for Harvard's fencing team, garnered another honor yesterday, as he became the only Crimson performer to win selection to the All-Ivy fencing squad.

Valenzuela, finished tenth in the sabre event of the NCAA fencing championships last week.

Crimson coach Edo Marion yesterday expressed his pleasure with the selection. "I'm very happy for Terry," Marion said. "He worked hard at dencing for four years, and succeeded despite limited natural ability."

Marion said that he had expected Harvard's poor showing on the Ivy team.

One Other Had Potential

"The only other [Harvard] player who had the potential to make the team was Gordon Rutledge," Marion said.

Marion added that he was disappointed with the fencing team's performance this season.

"I expected us to be in first or second place in the Ivy League," Marion said. The team finished last in the league with an 0-5 record and a 9-6 record overall.

The 1973 All-Ivy team consists of thirteen men named in three weapons. Ivy League champion PennsyIvania, Cornell and Columbia placed three men each on the team, Yale placed two, and Princeton and Harvard had one apiece.
