Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame TEAM, HERITAGE ERA 1950-51 Men’s Fencing

o Columbia program has been as consistently successful over the years as fencing, Nbut the 1950-51 squad was special, even by Columbia fencing standards. The Lions, who had a 5-8 record a year earlier, began the season with seven victories. However, second-year coach Joe Velarde, writing in Lines on Lions, the athletic department newsletter, warned alumni not to get too carried away because the toughest part of the schedule remained.

Velarde was right. The Lions did beat Harvard and archrival NYU, but dropped close matches to Navy and Penn.

But that was just the warmup for the postseason, and there the Lions were unbeatable, capturing seven Eastern Intercollegiate Fencing Association and NCAA championships,

Velarde also received strong efforts during the dual-match season from Jay Leibel in sabre and Gene Winograd and Jaromir Sevcik in epee.

“I think our success was due to the fact that we had better physical condition than anyone else, and that we had tremendous spirit, drive and willingness to work all year,” Velarde said.

He was named Lions coach in 1970 at age 22, the youngest head coach in the nation, and led a dramatic turnaround. Columbia, which went 14-69 in the Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis Association (the Ivy League record, plus Army and Navy) in the 1960s, including records of 0-8 in 1965 and 1-6 in 1969, went 66-24 in the EITA during the 1970s – a winning percentage of more than 73 percent. Included were undefeated 9-0 seasons and EITA championships in 1972 and 1973.
