Leo, Davis Sign With the Patriots

Two Harvard seniors went from the green halls of ivy to the even greener fields of professional football yesterday.

The Boston Patriots signed Bobby Leo and Dave Davis--two of their 16 draft choices -- for undisclosed bonuses.

Boston coach Mike Holovak will try Leo, a 170 pound halfback for the Crimson, at flanker. The Everett speedster won all-Ivy and all-East honors last fall.

Davis -- a 235 pound tackle at Harvard -- will try to gain a spot as defensive end for the Patriots. Both he and Leo are rather undersized for the positions which they will try to win in the fall.
