Nichols Picked as All New England By U.P.; Clasby Makes Second Team

Tackle John Nicholas and tailback Dick Clasby have been named to the first and second teams, respectively of the United Press' All New England football squad.

Nichols, a 220-pound junior from Westport, Connecticut, was first string tackle for the '53 freshman team and has played at that position with the varsity for the past two years. His offensive aggressiveness and defensive immovability has made him the Crimson's most valuable lineman.

Clasby, a sophomore from Natick, became number one tailback for Harvard when Carroll Lowenstein was drafted earlier in the fall. He easily held down the position for the rest of the fall and impressed opponents with his triple-threat abilities.
