 New York, Dec. 2O-(UP)-The Boston College team which prays Tennessee in the New Orleans Sugan Bowl is the kind of eleven that most coaches dream of hav- ing-and get perhaps once in a lifetime.
 The Egales went through a TO- game schedule unbeaten; they were the highest scoring team in the nation; they won the Lambert trophy, emblematic of the Eastern championship; they had five play CTS named on various All-American teams; and eight of their seniors were on the recent National foot ball league draft list.
 This will be B. C.'s second straight trip to a Bowl game something of a record for coach Frank Leahy. He was line coach for Jimmy Crowley at Fordham when Boston College lured him away last season. Leahy's team last year lost only enc regular game-to Florida-and played in the 1940 Cotton Bowl, losing to Clemson by the slender margin of 6-3. No coach ever before sent teams into bowl games in his first two years.
 E. c. Offense Powerful
 B. c. has a potent offense that rolled up 320 points in 10 games. Its defense yielded only 52 points. The first string line, which averages POS l-2 pounds, didn't yield touch- down on the ground all season. The backfield averages 178 1-4 pounds.
 B. C.'s major victims this year were Tulane, Temple, Manhattan, Georgetown and Holy Cross. B. c. won the Tulane game in New Or- leans, 27-7, even though it was a 9-5 short ender in the betting. Tulane, rated as one of the strong est teams in the country before the season started, never recovered from that attack. Georgetwon's 23-game winning streak was snapped, 1918. as B. c. overcame a 10-0 deficit and won one of the great games of the season. Against Holy Cross, B. c. suffered letdown-a case of bowl jitters-and barely squeezed out a 7-0 victory.
 The Eagles rode to those victories on variation of the Notre Dame system. The variations consist of single and double wingback and T formations. An intricate array of f1ankers, lateralS, single double and triple reverses, end around plays and posses stem from this diverse backfield setup.
 The. spark-plug of the team is "Chuckin" Charley O'Rourke, 155- pound senior halfback. O'Rourke is deadly passer, kicker and runner. In his three years, he has played more minutes than any other man on the squad. He scored three tuochdowns, averaged 5.8 yards per try on Il carries, punted A times for a 40.2 yard average and com- pleted 34 out of 81 passes for 567 yards. He's the kind of player who is at his best when the going 1t rough.
 Henry Toczlowski, quarterback on this team of unprnounceable homes. is the blocking back-one of the best in the country. He never, according to Leahy, has called a wrong play. ''Toz" is a good pass catcher-he caught sight for 131 yards and one touchdown.
 The other backs are halfback Francis Maznicki and fullback Mike Holovak, anly sophomore on thef1rst team. Mamicki is the high scorer, with 10 touchdownS and 20 conver- sions for 30 points. He kicked 20 out of 27 extra points, once doing l0 straight without a miss. He carried the ball 75 times for a 5.3 average. Holovak is the plunging back ana scoerd II touchdowns and averaged Al yards on 112 carries.
 The line is built around Cret cladchuk. ane of the best centers in the country. He is great on pass defense and on offense he has never snapped back a bad pass from cen ter. He is so good at snapping- back that he doesn't look at the ball-ne watches his opponents and IS all set to move the split second he lets
 
 the ball go.
 Guards Strong
 The Guards are Joe Zabllskl ana George Kerr, great pair. Kerr, colleges heavyweight boxing cnamp- ion. used to be fullback. on oe- fense, he backs up from the line ol scrim1nage and rives through the line after the opposition ball carTler like fullback.
 The tackles, John Yauckoes, heaviest man on the line at I4S no,Inds. and Joe Manzo, could make any team in the country, according tn I,eahv. The ends are Gene Goodreault and Henry Wornicz. Gooderault overshadowed his part ner all season, although Wornlc1 ls Q good end. Gooderault Is great mass defender and a tremendous receiver. He was named on the limited Press All-America team. :,
 The squad numbers about 30 good n1avers. although B. c. could not De said to be very long on reserves if depends on its first eleven when is composed mostly of 6o-mlnu'e men. ,of+ Gar Ray St. Louis, Miss. where IL VII train Coach Leahy believes that Tennessee. also unbeaten, IS tne hesf team in the country but T feai I certain our boys will be worthy representatives of the East in the Sugar Bowl"
