...longs for the inspired insanity of such a notion during this slack and dreary comedy from Walt Disney studios. The idea here is that the coach of a smalltown college (John Amos) and his cretinous assistant (Tim Conway) stumble on a kind of peroxide Tarzan (Jan-Michael Vincent) and import him from Africa to bring athletic glory to the campus.

In Vanderpoole-Wallace's absence, freshman Huseyin Kayali took the triple jump with a Cox Cage record distance of 47'7" in what Harvard coach Bill McCurdy termed a "major surprise...
