"Dunleavy and Walton smacked
forehead to forehead," gestured
Marquette coach A1 McGuire after
his Warriors defeated Carolina
yesterday afternoon. "It was like
two bulls crashing together, ya'
know? Lloyd's gotta cut on his
head, too." He smiled slightly and
added, "But they're gonna be all
right. They're two great competitors."
McGuire was referring to a bonejarring
collision between guards

with just 38 seconds left in the
game. Dunleavy sported a bloody
gash on his brow, while Walton
looked like he'd lost a match with a
speeding freight train.
That scramble could be pointed
to as a conspicuous reflection of
McGuire's flair and personnelgritty
and explosive. Much to the
ire of Gamecock fans, those

At the conclusion of the National
independent unampionsnips (NIU)
Saturday at the USC natatorium,
Florida State swim coach Terry
Carlisle walked across the pool
deck and shook hands with USC
coach Alan Gentry.
"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.

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.
More such performances followed,
as David Wilkie of Miami, won the
200-yard individual medley with a
1:53.233 time. Mike Grattan of
Florida State swam the 50-yard

warriors never seem to get rattled,
and things always appear to have
the same comic book, sQper-hero
ending for them. It's a frustrating
experience for Marquette's
aspiring assassins.
ror some years now, Mcuuire
has had a reputation of being a
crowd pleaser, the type of
character who blows his face up
and turns red and dies a thousand
deaths every game.

"Whaddaya doin'!

bad shot or a shrug on a foul call
was all McGuire-watchers had to
chew on.
But with 13:02 remaining in the

Grattan won both freestyle

MU's Delgado, Wilkie and diver
Greg Garlich of Miami, were the
only other dual winners of the

?
Greg Midwinter successfully
defended his title in the 200-yard
backstroke with a new pool and
meet record of 1:53.32. Midwinter
won the only event for the
Gamecocks, while Steve Breiter
finished second to Delgado in the
500-yard freestyle, Ray Klitzke
dove to third place in the one-meter
diving with Jim Tingen close
behind in fourth. In the three
meter event they reversed
positions with Tingen taking the
fourth spot as Klitzke finishing
fifth.
The Gamecocks, who won the
NIC title last year, weren't as
successful in their own pool. After
two days of competition, the
Gamecocks held second spot
overall behind FSU, but on the
final day Miami overtook them on
sirong periormances in the diving
event.
Finishing behind the
Gamecocks, in order, were Cinr

Right. We know. And opposition

disappointed as A1 watches-calmly-his
players do it all over
