...swimmer well knows, it is extremely difficult to continue to swim faster times after shaving a couple of times, especially in such a pressure situation as existed at West Point, but Don Gambril's eight (the only Crimson swimmers who scored points in the meet) managed the impossible. By comparison, North Carolina State, which had shaved and peaked for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship the week before, failed to match its times in most cases but, relying on its depth and diving, it was just too much in the end for Harvard...

Despite this Harvard concluded its finest Easterns ever with a flurry of new record breaking performances, and the slender margin by which it was finally edged out for second detracts very little from another excellent team effort by coach Don Gambril's small nucleus of talented swimmers...

The recruiting edge over the rest of the Ivy schools is now his, and it is just the kind of advantage that Gambril likes to work with...
