Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
The departed George "Bunks" Burditt, Crimson basketball captain for most of the season just passed, was the only Harvard hoopster accorded a post on the all-Ivy League team selected for the Associated Press by the eight coaches in the circuit.
Burditt, who left the team after playing only five League games, was one of the four men granted honorable mention behind the two first fives picked by the eight mentors.
As expected, Dartmouth monopolized the selections. Captain Stan Skaug, smooth-working, often unnoticed Indian guard, received the only unanimous vote. Teammate Bob Myers, who scored 21 points against the Crimson for the Big Green at the Indoor Athletic Building, was named to one forward berth, with Penn's eagle-eyed Chink Crossin at the other.
Palmer at Center
The League's top scorer Princeton's Bud Palmer, who went for 18 markers against the Brownmen at Princeton, won the nod for the pivot post, and Captain Sam Hunter of Cornell, one of the cagiest players in the loop, won a guard post with Skaug.
Second team posts went to forwards Dick Giles of Cornell and Jim Olsen of Dartmouth, Freshman Walt Budko of Columbia was named for the center slot, and Jack Munda of Princeton and Captain Les Martens of Columbia were the guard selectees.
Accorded honorable mention along with Burditt were Dartmouth's George Munroe, the League's highest scorer last year, Yale's Guy McGauhey and Penn's Larry Davis.
