i i -i- a i I I i Friday, June 25, 1976 Philadelphia Inquirer 5-D Penn grad makes U.S. diving team HS.T.P Oil Treatment fefc Vt vr 4 Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Robert Cragg, a 1975 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, yesterday became one of three men to represent the U.S. in the three-meter springboard diving competition at the Montreal Olympics. Cragg, from Maple Glen, near Upper Dublin where he attended high school, finished third with a score of 570.24 to join Greg Louganis, 16, of El Cajon, and Capt.

Phil Boggs of the Air Force Academy on the team. Louganis finished first with a score of 616.16 and officials said that total was the second highest recorded in this country for the three-meter event. "I was sort of nervous, but I just concentrated on my basics," Louganis said. "It was good to get the first dive over with. It helped me relax a little." Boggs, a two-time gold medal winner in the World Games, was second with 606.67.

Meanwhile, Deborah Wilson, coming off a victory in the Los Angeles Invitational two weeks ago, finished first in the women's 10-meter platform preliminaries. Melissa Briley, 19, San Antonio, and Janet Ely, a member of the U.S. diving team in the 1972 Olympics, were second and third on the list of eight qualifiers. The top three women in today's finals will represent the U.S. on the diving tower in Montreal next month.

Directed by Oscar-Winner Francis Thompson, this spectacular documentary is shown hourly through the magic of IMAX By Bill Simmons Inquirer Auto Editor LONG POND, Pa. One might have thought that just earning a berth in Sunday's sixth annual Schae-fer 500 would have been enough to make Bob Harkey happy yesterday. One would have been wrong.

"There's not much honor in making a 500 like this," said Harkey a day after his 46th birthday. "They take somebody out of the crowd and stick them into the race while the rest of us have to work for it." Harkey was the fastest of four men who ran against the clock in contesting the last three of the 33 starting positions. The other 30 starters were decided in a lottery draw on Tuesday. Harkey averaged 173.963 miles per hour for his two runs around Poco-no's 23-mile trioval in a Mclntyre Kingfish-Offenhauser built, owned and maintained by Grant King, who has two other cars in the field. Harkey was the fourth and final qualifier, and his speed left Bill Pu-terbaugh as the only driver to be eliminated.

Puterbaugh, who was the day's second qualifier, had averaged 170.503 in a McNamara Eagle-Offy. Earning the 32d starting position was sprint car ace Jan Opperman of Noxon, at 172.678 mph in the Megard-Eagle-Offy. The 33d and last spot went to another sprint car reat, Larry Dickson of Marietta, O. Dickson clocked 171.054 in the Ian-Eagle Foyt owned by Sunday's fourth-place starter Dick Simon. Harkey, who has displayed amazing staying power for a man whose career has been marked by little more than mediocrity in two decades of United States Auto Club competition he has won just one midget race did not agree with the way the starting lineup was drawn.

"There are 32 veterans here and three rookies," Harkey said. "What they should have done was draw among the veterans and let the three rookies run for the last spot."
