Coach Don Gambril is so unconcerned about the meet that he is scheduling an afternoon workout for the team, even though the first event is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
What conceivably may save the Bruins from a total smear is that fact the several Crimson swimmers are not going to compete because of sickness, and several others will be swimming in new events.
With Penn and Yale seemingly unbeatable, Gambril is pointing towards Princeton next month, and the Brown meet, unimportant in itself, may provide Gambril with a new strategy to beat the Tigers.

Don Gambril, chairman of the NCAA swimming rules committee, says most college coaches want to keep the 200-yard relays because they believe the shorter events add excitement and glamour to a rather tedious spectator sport.
"It comes up every year, and the vast majority of coaches vote to keep the sprint relays," says Gambril, who coached the distance swimmers on the 1968, 1972 and 1976 Olympic teams and is opposed to the sprint relays.
The NCAA emphasis on short events filters down to the club level, where 191,000 young American swimmers compete on a year-round basis.

If Gross went out too fast in order to make up a deficit quickly, perhaps he would over swim the race and not be as strong coming home.
