The Hairenik Weekly, an Armenian newspaper published in Boston, has chosen the varsity football team's John "Babe" Simourian as the outstanding Armenian player in the country this season and also named him captain of its Armenian All-American.
"His play in a losing Harvard season, especially in the last half of the debacle-like schedule, has been simply outstanding," the newspaper commented. "In his junior year, just as he was about to blossom into his full potential, he hit a series of injuries that slowed him up. This year he returned to his natural position in the 'T', and proceeded to make sports-experts around Boston lift their eyebrows," the paper added.
Also in the starting backfield of the Armenian team was Paul Abrahamian of Tufts, who played with Simourian on the Crimson freshman team three years ago. Seven of the starting team are from New England colleges, two from California, and two from Pennsylvania.
