Football Trophy Donated to College

The Frederic Greeley Crocker Memorial Trophy for the Crimson's most valuable football player will be presented to the University at 2 p.m. this afternoon in the office of Athletic Director William J. Bingham '16.

John H. Dean '84, captain of Crocker's 1933 eleven, will head the group of former Crimson athletes who will make the presentation. The award is given in honor of Frederic G. Crocker '34, who was killed in 1944 while serving on a destroyer.

A replica of the trophy will be awarded each year, beginning next fall, to "that letterman whose perseverance, initiative, courage, and selflessness best exemplify those qualities as were possessed by Frederic Crocker." The original trophy will hang in Dillon Feld House.

Crocker, who weighed only 155 pounds, was second-string right end on the 1933 squad. He scored a touchdown on a long pass from Danny Wells to clinch the 19 to 6 Crimson triumph over Yale.
