Murphy Eliminated

Harvard divers Bill Murphy and Pete Alter were eliminated Saturday after the first round of the three-meter diving competition at the NCAA swimming championships in East Lansing, Mich. Murphy, diving in his first national championships, slipped up in an early dive and was unable to gain enough points to remain in the contest.

In the overall competition. Stanford beat out U.S.C for the top spot by winning the final 800-yard freestyle relay. Yale finished sixth, the best performance by an eastern squad.
