HOLY CROSS NOW GRID HEROES OF NEW ENGLAND
Grigas Sparks Crusaders to Win Over L. s. U.;
 Boston College FlOps
BY TOM NooNAN
(Tnlted Press Stan Correspondor

(Un1ted Ere66 Stan COrreSpOnuentl
 Boston, Sept. 20 -G- (U.P) - Holy Cross was the boom college on the New England football front today.
 The Crusaders startling 1913 triumph over Louisiana State Uni- versity and the bursting of Boston Colleges bubble by Tulane caused the unexpected shift.
 It all happened within a few short hours Saturday way down In Louisiana. Outcome of the two in- tersectional classed played Holy Cross once again in the vanguard of Eastern powers and abruptly term mated Boston Colleges bit for Q third straight bowl appearance.
 The two Jesuit rivals will arrive home today within an hour of one another-Holy Cross to start prac- tice for Saturdays game with Prov- idence College, the only setup on its rigid schedule, and Boston College to rest week before entering Clein- son, last previous team to defeat the Eagles in the i940 Cotton Bowl.
 New Start
 Dartmouth and Brown, two of the other major elevenS in this section, attempt to continue undefeated this week -end after successful inaugurals and Harvard and Yale, Big-three rivals, make their debuts. Harvard and Brown may join Boston Col- lege in the loss column.
 Yale Over Virginia
 Harvard, weakened by injuries, the draft and schloastlc bans, journeys to Philadelphia to encounter Penn sylvania while Brown, assimilating a new coaching steup, travels to New York to face Columbia.
 Dartmouth should easily hurdle Amherst, its second warmup test, and Yale will be favored to win Its first one for new Coach Spike Nell son over Virginia.
 Remnants of Boston Colleges I940 eastern championship team en- countered l00-degree heat and a sharply -primed Tulane eleven at New Orleans, La, Saturday. The combination ended the Eagles 12- game win streak with the Green wave rOILlIlB up q zl-( triumph CO avenge last seasons trouncing.
 Quick Start
 Tulane unleashed a sustained charge and an unexpected passing attack from the opening whistle anc blasted out three touchdowns be- fore the first half was completed. Then 1t settled down to slicing B. C.'s vaunted T formation to rib- bons, relinquishing a Nthird-period tally on blocked punt.
 John Grigas, a heavyweight full back with sprinter's speed, tore of three touchdowns on dashes of 56, 19 and two yards to lead Holy Cross to its 1913 win over L. s. U. in Baton Rouge, La, battle that wound up in a free-swinging display of fisticuffs.
 Dartmouth wore down little Nor- wich in the first half and then blasted the Cadets, 35-0. Browns sophomore backs paced the Bears to a 20-6 victory over Wesleyan.
