Sports Illustrated Calls Briggs, Shaunessey Top '59 Grid Stars

Sports illustrated singles out Peter G. Briggs and Robert T. Shaunessey as freshman football stars most likely to bolster the varsity lineup next year. The magazine's latest issue says that Harvard will get "help where it needs it most, in the line, particularly from Pete Briggs and Bob Shaunessey."

The Yardling forward wall was the team's greatest asset last fall. Briggs at 240 pounds and Shaunessey at 225 were particularly strong in the tackle slots. They were lauded throughout the season by freshman coach Bob Margarita for their "consistently fine play."

These two should creditably fill the shoes of graduating star tackles Orville Tice '56 and John Maher '56.
