Three Harvard Cagers Named To All-Ivy, All-N.E. Teams

Three Harvard cagers were named to secondary teams of the All-Ivy and All-New England basketball squads yesterday.

James Brown and Tony Jenkins won selection to both the All-Ivy and All-New England teams, while Jim Fitzsimmons was given an honorable mention to the New England team.

Brown placed highest of the Harvard players. He gained berths on the second team of the Ivy squad and the third team of the New England squad.

Disappointed

Brown said yesterday that he was pleased with the honors, but was disappointed that he didn't place higher on the teams. Commenting on his selection to the All-New England team, Brown said that "I should have been on the first or second teams, but circumstances weren't conducive to my putting forth my best effort this season."
