...high demand and most of the swimmers resented having their space usurped by people having no relation to Harvard. It only takes one incident of being forced to swim butterfly in a crowded, choppy lane to get a swimmer teed off. An exception is Baughman who found working out with Fasanacht good training...
...mostly working on next year." Which is fine for Gambril and the freshmen, but hardly contributed to the juniors and seniors wanting to work hard and see their team do well. Gambril tended to ignore the upperclassmen during workouts and concentrate on his stars. Fred Mitchell, Baughman, Neville and Brumwell. One junior stated. "We've got five coaches and it was like there weren't any at workouts." For some of the swimmers the thought of being beaten soundly be one or two uppity freshmen helped in their decisions to quit.

He decided on Harvard because "Don is definitely one of the best coaches...
...upperclassmen didn't share Baughman's enthusiasm. Some had a wait and see attitude, but many were upset that Merritt hadn't gotten the job and had visions of Gambril as a crew-cut, marine drill sergeant who would wring a national championship out of Harvard if it killed them all. Gambril felt this hostility, and in his first appearance before the swimmers last May 17 he treaded softly, was well-spoken, and let the team know that radical changes weren't in the planning stages: no one would be cut, twice a day practices would not be required...
