Quack Cracks Divers Good By DAVE BAROVTI EnirraM Spmlt Editor ani\G AND SHIMMING. There's a switch for you. Did you ever hear it said that way before" I mean, instead of vice-versa" Diving and swimming—that's like saying pepper and salt, butter and bread, eggs and ham. or Lyndon and Bobby There are same names you just don’t transpose Diving's gotta be small and inferior compared to the whole of swimming It's just one-eleventh of the meet Furthermore, it’s not appreciated WHY IS IT often the first event held” So people can come in late and miss it. It's actually a wonder there are any divers at all Obviously, diving skill isn’t required in order to swim But it doesn't work the ether way around You always have a swimmer of sorts before you have a diver That is. if he ever becomes a diver Which isn't very likely Swimmers, being a dedicated bunch, are usually reluctant to try anything new especially when that something involves compli cated 23-2 somersaults and high altitude hairpin turns during takeoffs. The ones who do trv those acrobatic takeoffs are naturally the one- who become divers Not because they want to. mind you— but because when thev finally hit the water after that dive they're so far behind that they'd have to be Aqua Man himself to catch up. Such a boy is hopeless That's why he turns to div ing If. however, he thinks that decision will end his frustrations, he's got another think coining You'd have to see a diving practice session to believe it More twisting and turning goes on in some of those dives than comes out of anv pretzel factory in a month And pretzels have an advantage over divers pretzels can be twisted an indiscriminate .eumber of times With a diver, it's either a double twist, a 14. a full twist, a half twist, no twist, or no points That still wouldn't be too bad if they didn't have to somersault, jike. kip and point toes property all at the same tune. Most people's amads knot up in double somersaults just thinking about it Tie diver's gat more problems He's unwanted Swimmers cant risk him practicing around them That'd be like wanning the National AAU mile in a Vietnamese rice paddy America's swimmers were competing in Russia last month. Sup ^aoe one of them had been killed in the pool when bombed by a #ping Russian 10-meter diver How would that have been for East West relations” Swimming and diving in America is about the only sport an ‘'anti segregation" law isn't in effect. Divers can't use the swimming pool during the prime afternoon Mouth Usually they have to wait until the early morning or late evening if thev're fortunate there's a diving pool in the area If not. thev practice on the trampoline That, however, exposes yet another threat. ■Gymnastics coaches pick off more aspiring divers for trampoline ■duty than football prognosticators pick losers And gymnastics appeals to the boy He's still a pretzel—but at least not a soggy one The true diver, however, is as dedicated an animal as is found in ibe zoo He practices hours -daily: he strives constantly for improve merit: and when he reaches that "magic" 400 point mark for ten <te-es. he sets a new goal for 500 points and the NCAA championship Ynat would probably go with it. A good diver puts on a performance not to be excelled beauty wise by any other sport. His height off the board isn’t measured in tujrt-. and low points, but in apogees and perigees. His grace makes you wonder if he’s practicing some sort of airborne ballet. And his entry makes less of a splash than an egg foo young recipe on a Russian sports page w nen ne tains ne s almost unoearauiv iuuu«»i as « u nr arcp reminding himself of his swimming failures. He’ll tell you that he was entered in a multitude of swimming and diving meets over the summer, if you ask him And you’d better believe him YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE him because he’ll be •Showing the results of the practice soon. Oregon opens its dual meet season later this fall against Oklahoma at Leighton PooL Is it worth seeing'' If it isn’t, nothing is The Webfoots have far ami away the best diving team in the conference—possibly in the mation Larry Folinsbee, past PAC and reigning Canadian National Champ, will be there for Oregon in addition to Wayne Schwandt. a sophomore who. as a freshman last year, beat Folinsbee, Greg DiCristopharo, a former all-American Junior College Diver from Foothills College. Calif., and Tom Speight. Northwest AAU cham pion So when you get to the meet get to it early. Diving may be the first event. ***** P.S. Oklahoma will bring more than a swimming team to Oregon on that trip Their wrestling team (second in the NCAA last year) is going to challenge Coach Art Keith’s upcoming Webfoots. A couple years ago any thought of Oregon meeting a powerhouse like this would have been a laugh But Webfoot wrestling—thanks to Keith—has progressed remarkably in the last two years—and it could be a good meet We’ll keep you posted on that as the time draws near Prognosis: Maybe Backs Injured in Drills Oregon's football team receiv ed a setback Tuesday when high I ly touted sophomore tailback. Claxton Welch left the field due to an injury during drills. Welch had not played since be ing injured in Oregon s opener , with Oklahoma, but had been ex ! pected to be ready for Oregon s PAC opener against Stanford in Portland's Multnomah Stadium Saturday His condition is as yet uncertain Duck fullback Arlen Elms also was injured and became a doubt ful starter for Saturday * encoun ter when he pulled a muscle in lijjht workouts last Monday If Elms is unable to start Sat urday. Ken Grote will likely get the fullback job, reported Oregon coach Len Casanova Grote is a 62. 195 pound rookie Also listed as doubtful for Sat urday is 6 0. 207 pound sophomore starter George Dames who bruised Moore Takes Over PAC Rushing Lead Washington's bulldogging Don ny Moore plowed to over 220 yards to take the brushing lead in PAC statistics released Tues day. Mel Farr of the powerhouse UCLA Bruins took the scoring lead from teammate Gary Beban as he tallied two TD s against Mis souri and now has 30 points. Beban. who was second in to tal offense last week, now leads that category as he passed Gene Washington of Stanford with a total of 263 yards running and passing against the Tigers He has 628 yards total offense com pared to 580 for Washington All other team and individual leaders remained atop and in some cases increased their lead ing margins WSU’S Jerry Henderson hit for 12 completions, while USC's Troy Winslow got 10. to increase his lead over the Trojan field gen eral Gene Washington of Stanford has four TD passes to lead the PAC. Ron Drake, also of the Trojans, took over second place in the re ceiving department, but leader Doug Flansburg caught 10 to up his total to 27 for the season and nine over Drake Dave Lewis, the Stanford pun ter. upped his average from 44 4 to 46.0 He needed the long ones to stay ahead of OSL"s Gary Hou ser who raised his mark to 44.5 with excellent punting against USC.
