Finally, Wade Lau makes his Beanpot debut tonight. Like B.C.'s Doug Ellis, Lau uses a loose style that relies more on instinct than form. Between the twines for all but two Harvard contests, he has kept the Crimson in many games, but has also let in some inopportune goals.

The basic idea is clever: Martin is cast as the loving, beloved adopted son of a family of black sharecroppers. He is dumb as cow-flop and hopeless at foot shufflin' and finger snappin', but he tries hard. When he is ready to go out into the big world...
