Brian Dowling Feted

Eight days after the disastrous Harvard-Yale game, Brian Dowling won a minor victory in Boston as the Gridiron Club named him winner of the annual George "Bulger" Lowe award as New England's outstanding college football player. Dowling will come back to Boston on Dec. 10 to receive the award at a banquet.

Usually-reliable sources in New Haven reported that Dowling, who has never played in a losing game and in only one tie, said "Gee, that's swell" on hearing of the award.
