LINEBACKER--Eli captain Bill Crowley gets defensive player of the year honors, and Columbia gets its only first-teamer in there with Mike McGraw. Jim Molnar had over 100 tackles for Penn, but Penn keeps bogus tackling stats--Molnar will have to join Brown's John Woodring, Dartmouth's Joe Nastri, Princeton's Andy Hvidston and Cornell's Jim DeStefano on the second squad...

Wide Receiver Steve Largent ranks second among American Conference receivers, behind Pittsburgh's Lynn Swann; with ten touchdowns, David Sims is the conference's top-scoring running back...
