...about town, acting like a sawed-off version of his old betting crony Errol Flynn. Making the rounds of expensive restaurants, he cuddled, nuzzled and took the phone number of every willing young thing in sight. It was as if he were acting out the fantasy in his after-shave commercial. The scenario has two tennis bunnies leaping the net to embrace him. In the closing shot, Riggs winks, tilts his tennis shade rakishly and says: "Imagine, a 55-year-old sex symbol...
...singular objective, refusing to be distracted for the vaguest moment by the hullabaloo swirling around him as Harvard achieved swimming parity and superiority for the first time in over a decade, keeping his head when all around him were losing theirs in the excultance of success, refusing to shave down for even the championship meet with Yale, refusing for even the Eastern title events, maintaining that immense and immobile eye, on his goal, never faultering wavering, deviating like an eagle vying for game from the distant and transcending heights of flight, removed yet intent, detached, almost abstract, yet always...

What makes his scoring potential uncertain, however, is the fact that he has yet to shave down this season. Gambril has had Yntema on the hardest training schedule of any of his swimmers with the exception of distance freestyler Rich Baughman, and while most of the team peaked and shaved for several dual meets prior to a big effort at the Easterns, Yntema has been pointing all season toward a strong performance this weekend at the NCAA...
