Diving Coach
Tones Down
On Charges
. 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." Basketball
