...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.

By way of soothing those who might think the gallows cruel, Guinness proposed a more creative method of disposing of the condemned: give them razor blades in the hope that they would not use them merely to shave.

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...
