He joked, "You know, of course, that few people would have re membered my name, and hardly anyone would have recognized me diving from a 100-foot tower." Candler said it became ap parent to him that diving was his love, therefore becoming a diving coach was a must for him. Contacted at Michigan during his senior year by USC Swimming Coach Jack Thomp son, he decided to come to Caro lina to realize his ambition.

TWO QUARTERBACKS The Tide has two fine quarte backs in southpaw Kenny Stabl< and Wayne Trimble.

He came off the ben< to throw three touchdown pass( against Mississippi State. Les Kelley, tabbed by many e: perts as All-America material, w> a dropped from the squad for di ciplinary reasons.

FINE RECEIVERS Alabama has two fine receive r in flanker Dennis Homan and Al American end Ray Perkins. A 1 choring the offensive line is Al America tackle candidate Cec Dowdy. Jerry Duncan, a tackle w} weighs only 188 pounds, is use frequently on the tackle eligib play.

Heading the quick-as-lightnin Crimson Tide defense are soph< more linebackers Mike Hall an Bob Childs and halfback Bobb Johns, an All-Southeastern Cor ference performer last year.

Discussing the upcoming aqua-spectacular, Candler said, "We have a bunch of real good divers on the program, four High School All-America divers and one Navy All-America diver. I feel three are approach ing the championship class and are possible future All-Ameri cans." "As for the aqua-spectacu lar," he continued, "it can be described for those who have never seen one as a variety water show, slanted to have a great deal of comedy.
