"Bill just wasn't diving in the 8-point class as he usually does," Brooks said yesterday. "He was a little long on three of his drives, not getting his normally clean entries," the Harvard coach added. Though he did not win, Murphy did well enough to earn 21 of...
Brooks hopes that today's events will produce more points than yesterday's as the Eastern Seaboards come to a close. Krause, former world record-holder in the 1650-free, will be swimming in his specialty, and Bill Murphy is favored to win the three-meter diving.
Aside from Cahalan's sparkling performance, there was not much reason for Harvard partisans to be pleased. Bill Murphy, who was rated a very strong contender in the one-meter diving, had to settle for a fifth-place finish behind divers from Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Pittsburgh.
Murphy's total of 361.95 points was far shy of the 460.75 score racked up by the Tigers' Mark Huffstadler. Although the Crimson ace did well on some of his dives, two mistakes proved costly. Murphy stil rates as the favorite in the three-meter diving, his best event.
Today's events are the 400-yard medley relay, the one-meter diving, and the 50-yard and 500-yard freestyles.
