Team Names Collidge Most Valuable Player

T. Jefferson Coolidge '54 of Brookline and Leverett House yesterday was voted by his varsity football teammates to receive the Frederick Greeley Crocker Award as most valuable player on the 1953 squad.

An offensive center and linebacker, Coolidge was a 60-minute performer before receiving a knee injury in the Princeton game. He missed the Brown contest, but came back to star against Yale Saturday. The 202-pound senior played all the way until he had to leave the field with a head injury in the fourth quarter.

The award was established in honor of Ted Crocker, an end on the 1933 Crimson team who was killed in World War II. Collidge's name will be inscribed on the the Dillon Field House plaque under the of the 1952 recipient, blocking back Gil O'Neil.
