POINTS DISPUTED
EMPIRE GAMES DIVING CRITICISM OF JUDGES CANADIAN OPINION "OUR GIRB WAS ROBBED" (Elbp. Tel. Copyright.—United Press Assd.) (Reed. Feb. 10,1.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, Feb. 10. The charge that the diving judges at the Empire Games were incompetent was made by the manager of the Canadian team, Mr. Robinson. In the women's high tower event yesterday, Miss Hook, of Australia, beat Miss Adams, of Canada, by 36.47 points to 36.39. "Our girl was robbed and I do not care if the whole world knows it," said Mr. Robinson. "The judges do not seem to know the rules of diving, and certainly do not know what the different dives are.
"The variation in points for some of the dives made it obvious that much of the judging was guesswork," declared Mr. Robinson.
