By HAL WOOD San Francisco flJ.R) U. S. diving coach Karl Michael, who created a furor at the Melbourne Olympic game by entering the first protest in history of the div ing judges, back-tracked a bit to- .day on some of his charges. "I thought at first that the Russian and Hungarian judges were prejudiced against the divers," said Michael. "But later they explained to me that they have a different concept of the grace and beauty of a dive than the rest of the world." Possibly full of the Christmas spirit of love for all the world, Michael said there is no reason to believe that the American sys tem of scoring is any better than that used by the Russians. However, he did have some interesting statistics. 1. The score cards for Gary Tobian of the United States, who finished second to Joquin Capil la of Mexico, showed that the Russian judge was the low point scorer or tied for low nine out of the 10 judgings with seven judges being in action on each event. 2. The Hungarian judge was low scorer or tied for low on To bian six out of 10 times. . 3." On the Hungarian diver, named Gerlach, the Hungarian judge gave him the highest points of any judge nine out of 10 times. 4. On the Russian diver, Bre- ner, the Russian judge gave the high score six out of 10 times. I m not saying they were prejudiced against the Ameri cans," Michael pointed out. "But the cards seemed to indicate that there was a certain amount of nationalism involved." Michael said he didn't want to take anything away from Capil la, but the U.S. coach thought that on this particular night that Tobian was the champion diver. "Capilla is one of the world's greatest divers," he said. "He won the Pan-American, crown and has won both the . spring board and tower diving titles in the United States. So you know he is ope of the finest. But on this particular night, I firmly be lieve that Tobian was the bet ter."
