When Harvard was behind this spring, Regan was usually part of the small corps that brought the Crimson roaring back. It was like the cavalry coming to the rescue in Rin Tin Tin, except in Rin Tin Tin it was never too late--it often was too late in Harvard lacrosse games this spring. Even the most observant spectators can't catch Regan loafing. He stood out especially against Yale. Not only did he score three goals, but he was constantly hustling on defense...
