 Boston, Nov. 25--(UPJ = Coach Frank Leahy was out on a limb to- day for the first time in his re- markable two-year reign at Boston College, but there was slight chance of him tumbling.
 Leahy has predicted flatly that Boston College will wind up its 10- game schedule undefeated and un- tied by beating traditional Jesluit rival Holy Cross here Saturday. The same Leahy earlier in the campaign expressed concern over the outcome of the B. C.-St. Anslem'S game which, incidentally, the Eagles won, 55-O.
 The conservative Leahy startled newsmen and well-wishers in the B. c. dressing room after the Eagles trounced Auburn Saturday when he quietly said:
 Well beat Holy Cross. I'm saying this because know the boys won't let Hank Toczylowski down. You know Toz is going to be our cap- tain next week and I know the boys are going to win the game for Hank"
 Leahy ranks quarterback Tocz- lowSki as the finest blocking back and best play selector in the na- tion. The Eagles have used a system of picking different players as cap- tains or co-captains each game and the blond senior gets the call this week.
 Record Defeat
 The Eagles, leading the eastern pigskin parade, racked up their ninth straight triumph and tight ened their claim to bowl bid in drubbing Auburn, 33-7 Coach Frank Meagher of Auburn said it was the worst trimming any of his teams ever received in his 20 years of mentoring.
 Expected to suffer letdown after edging giant Georgetown and pick ed several topnotch experts as longshot upset victim, the Eagles turned in their finest performance of the season against rugged Au- burn team that had encountered series of standout opponents and never lost by more than one touch- down.
 The high-flying Eagles, held to a single touchdown in the first half by Auburn's stubborn sophomore line, unleSahed the full power of the offense that has made them the nations highest-scoring eleven, to tally once in the third period and thrice in the final quarter by pounding the plainsmen frontier to btis.
 Chuckin' Charlie O'Rourke, the Eagles slender All-America candi- date, displayed the greatest run ming of his brilliant career and passed with his usual accuracy though his completion record was below standard. The wiry senior whirled off 50 yards in three twist ing third-period dashes, the final 15-yard touchdown spurt.
 The gritty plainsmen capitalized on their only chance to get touch down on the games final play on a olIOAb pdoo IIl4Ou6Ll QItoh o41lol B. c. Third and fourth Stringers af- ter receiving first down on the 1 for pass interference.
 Another Shutout
 Harvard climaxed its late-season drive with its most decisive triumph over Yale since 1915, winning, 28-0, to complete the season with three wins, two defeats and three ties.
 With a firSt-claSs quarterback, Harvard might well have triumphed in all except the Michigan game. The loss completed Yales poorest season in history. The Ellis won only once in eight games, defeating Dartmouth, 13-7.
 Dartmouth proved its controver- sial win over Cornell was no mis- take by its decisive, 20-6 victory over Brown, which had lose only two games in a stiff schedule.
 Holy Cross, rapidly recuperating from string of injuries, outpoint-- ed Manhattan. 33-25, in final tuneup for Boston College.
 Brown closes against Columbia at Providence, R. l., Thursday, New England Thanksgiving day. The B. C.-Holy Cross clash will end major football contests in New England this season.
