irmingham native Da-
vid Stollman took
third place in sabre at
the NCAA fencing champion-
ships in Chicago in March.
Stollman, a sophomore at
the University of Penn-
sylvania, was 16-2 during the
championship tournament,
losing only to the first- and
second-place fencers by 10-8
scores. He won his first 14
bouts before losing to the
eventual champion. After two
more wins, Stollman was edg-
ed in his final bout. Had he
reversed either of his losses,
Stollman would have fought
for first place.
"It was close," said Yuri
Rabinovich, Stollman's local
coach. "He could have finish-
ed first, second or third."
Rabinovich attended the meet
as a University of Detroit
coach, but he gave Stollman
advice and encouragement
when he could.
"He was fencing very well,"
said Rabinovich. "He didn't
lose a bout until late in the
final. It was very tough com-
petition. We feel he really
started something —
everything started clicking
. . . He fenced very smart,
very confident."
Earlier, Stollman won the
prestigious International
Fencing Association event,
known as the Eastern,
beating fencers from the top
schools in the east.
Stollman travelled home
from Philadelphia to work
with Rabinovich for several
days before the Eastern meet
and again before the NCAA
final. "For that short a period
it was more like a tune-up,"
said Rabinovich. He said
Stollman also benefited
psychologically from the cram
courses he received from his
fencing professor.
Stollman will fence in a U.S.
national circuit competition
in Boston this month, then in
the U.S. national champion-
ships in June. His goal is to
earn enough U.S. circuit
points to receive a berth on
the U.S. Maccabiah team. The
team will be selected after the
Boston meet, the weekend of
April 29.
Three fencers will likely be
selected, according to U.S.
Maccabiah fencing chairman
Jeffrey Bukantz. The exact
standings are not available,
but Bukantz believed that
Stollman was in the top three
after the NCAA. "He's in real
good shape to make the

team," Bukantz said, adding,
"It's not etched in stone."
Rabinovich, who sees
Stollman as Olympic
material, will work with
Stollman this summer to
"reinforce" the skills
Stollman has learned. He will
"start with the basics and go
from there." ❑
