To cap things off. Bob Clotworthy won the mens springboard diving championship for the United States and his teammate, Bill Yorzyk, won the men's 200-meter butterfly event. Clotworthy, Mountainside, N.J., won the mens springboard diving with Don Harper, Palo Alto, Calif, second and Glen Whitten, Lakeland, fourth.
