A1 McGui By Billy Cox "Dunleavy and Walton smacked forehead to forehead," gestured Marquette coach A1 McGuire after his Warriors defeated Carolina yesterday afternoon.

"I think we ought to have it (the NIC) here every year," Carlisle said. Maybe the fact that the ultramodern natatorium is one of the finest facilities in the nation prompted his praise, or maybe it was because his Seminole swim team had just dominated the championship with a score of 375 points, outpointing Miami (298) and South Carolina (289) to take the NIC title. ? 41? ? ii nnaicvci me reason, a capacity crowd witnessed the three-day event that began Thursday, and the start of the meet gave an indication of what was to come. Four meet and pool records fell on the first day of events as Jorge Delgado of Southern Illinois (SIU) opened the meet with a time of 4:32.043 in the 500-yard freestyle for the first record-breaking time.
