The 28-year-old Dibiasi, who began his spectacular career 12 years ago with a silver medal in the 1964 Olympics, faced the image of his youth in precocious Greg Louganis of El Cajon, Calif.

Louganis was superb. Dibiasi was better. Regardless of the outcome, the final diving event of the 1976 Olympics was to be last competition and the pressure to win his third gold medal was intense. Armstrong Confident Of Team Championship FORT COLLINS, Colo. (UPI) Otis Armstrong, professional football's top running back two years ago.

(UPI) Seventeen basketball players from across the nation are exercising and sharpening their shooting skills this week, hoping to be selected for an opening on the legendary Harlem Globetrotters.

We are looking for the fine Greeson said the young hopefuls, who gathered in Tulsa Monday, are from all over the United from a tiny town in Mississippi to New York He stipulated that all candidates must either have graduated college or been members of a class that has graduated. a kid comes out in his third year, we allow he said. Greeson said the team would take an aspiring and talented high school graduate but scouts for the team did not find any this year.

The athlete chosen for one of the two teams can look forward to a $15,000 salary and plenty of fringe benefits, such as travel expenses, hotel expenses, $24 a day for food, life insurance, dependent insurance and a pension. The Globetrotters say the training camp is of the toughest weeks a basketball player can go through." The players drill twice daily. They start with free shooting, then exercise, followed by shooting drills and finally a scrimmage. The camp lasts six days. One of the two Globetrotter trainers and a referee also are attending the training sessions.

Why do basketball players of the caliber wanted by the Globetrotters organization pass up a chance to play in the NBA? are some kids who maybe have dreamed of becoming a Globetrotter all their Greeson said. ballplayer has an opportunity for a longer career with us than with the NBA and he gets to travel to a lot of places he would never visit with the NBA This marks the 50th year for the Globetrotters. During the half century they have played about 12,500 games, losing only 411 of them. Armstrong, 25, was sidelined most of the 1975 season with a leg injury. In the second game of last season he went out with bruised ribs and attempted to play the following week, only to suffer a severe hamstring which left him inactive the rest of the year.

Armstrong, the No. I draft choice in 1973, said he completed a physical rehabilitation program during the season which increased his quickness and improved his strength. The 5-foot-10, 198 pounder said regaining his strength and quickness were most important because those qualities made his running ability distinctive. mean he said. and quickness is the key to making it in the NFL.

I will play as well as I can because I know that if you worry about pressure, destroy you.

He said the Bronco linemen inspired him to rush faster and play harder. like to run hard because my linemen like to block for Armstrong said. have a great line a bunch of gutsy guys who hit people and move them Armstrong said although his linemen helped to inspire him to run harder, it was retired Bronco fullback Floyd Little, who taught him the actual techniques of running in professional football. watched Floyd and I learned from he said.

Floyd knew the system and helped me to get it Little retired last year after nine seasons with the Broncos and 6,323 yards rushing He was the seventh all-time leading rusher in the NFL. Armstrong said he believed his teammates were prepared for the season and would be contenders for the Super Bowl, if they could get past the division rival Oakland Raiders. He said the team had displayed confidence during training camp at Colorado State University never before seen. is no question he said.
