Three Booters Make Ivy First Team; Njoku, Blodget Lead League Scorers

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The fourth-place Harvard soccer team dominated this season's Ivy League statistics, placing three men on the All-League team and contributing the leader in both the goal-scoring and assist championships.

Captain Bill Kerstetter was selected by the Ivy coaches as the right halfback on the first team. He was joined there by two Crimson juniors, left half Andy Kydes and outside left Charlie Njoku.

No other college landed three spots on the first team, which was announced over the weekend, and only Yale and Cornell were represented more than once. Champion Brown, the first team to go undefeated in the history of the formal Ivy League, had only one player on the first team, but monopolized the second team with five selections.

Center forward Jim Saltonstall, Harvard's sole first-team member in 1964 as a sophomore, was named to the second team.

Njoku's two goals in the season finale at Yale gave him the individual scoring crown, with a total of 8. His closest competitor, Penn's Roger Lorberbaum, finished with 6.

Dudley Blodget, junior right wing for Harvard, paced the league with 6 assists. Njoku was credited with 4 to place fourth.

Onwechekwa Okigwe, who was injured half the season, and Fred Akuffo, who was shifted between the forward and halfback lines, were given honorable mention in the coaches' balloting.
