Senior Jim Thomson, the Leverett House halfback who scored nine touchdowns and threw for three more this year, was named winner of the Rhesus J. Portfolio Trophy yesterday.
The Portfolio Trophy, awarded annually by the All-House Football Selection Committee, goes to the most outstanding House player.
Thomson, in his three years on Leverett's championship teams, has scored a total of 23 touchdowns. His 40-yard run against Yale's Davenport College two years ago sparked Leverett to a 12-8 victory.
In his last game this year, Thomson filled in at quarterback for the injured Steve Ekdahl and tossed two touchdown passes.
Leverett House, undefeated and unscored upon this year, led the All-House ballotting as expected, with four players on both the offensive and defensive teams. Winthrop landed a total of four players, while Eliot and Lowell each had three.
