...brought crewcuts and coaching genius to the IAB pool. Gambril, who pumped life into an antiquated and mediocre swimming program and transformed it into an aquatic tour de force, an invincibility, a flawlessly primed winning machine, who paced the pool deck at the IAB like an impatient and regal lion that knows that he want sand realizes that he has limited time to attain it, and brought a share of an Eastern title to Cambridge in two years, who recruited finagled, persuaded, and cajoled enough high school seniors across the country to come east and who generated and enlivened Harvard...
