 Boston, Oct. 31.-Boston College, slumbering giant of New England football, may stir from it's state of lethargy tomorrow to topple Temple from the dwindling ranks of the unbeaten.
 The l940 eastern and Sugar Bowl champions have performed indiffer- ently to date but in their last two tilts have shown flashes of the form necessary to humble 8 team as pow erful and versatile as Temple.
 The clash, top gridiron battle in this area, well may prove as wide open and thrill packed as last years game which Boston College won, 33-2O.
 Boston College has been handi- capped all season by injuries and lack of a quarterback smart enough to make the T-formation click.
 Mike Holovak and Frank Maznicki, two regular backs who aided B. c. in its unbeaten march through Il straight opponents last season, were physically Sub-par entering the opener with Tulane this year and the beating they took from the keyed-up Greenies retarded their recovery. In addition, first string ends Don Currivan and Henry Wor- onicz suffered identil knee injuries in the same game.
 Perhaps the biggest problem, how ever, has been the attempt to fill the loss caused by graduation of quar- terback Henry Toczylowski, a rugged blocker and canny play-caller who earned Al-America rating last year.
 Poor quartebacking upset the de- licately- timed offense installed by new Coach Denny Myers and led to an epidemic of furnbles that killed the Eagles chances of victories over both Tulane and Clemson, Southern Conference titlists.
 But the picture is a lot brighter after triumphs over Manhattan and Georgetown. Mickey Connolly, triple -threater, has been replaced at quarterback by Ed Doherty, protege of chuckin' Charlie O'Rourke, and cripples Holovak, Maznicki, Curri- van and Veronica rapidly are rounding into top shape. %
 B.C. Overdue S
 All will be ready to go against Temple, and the Eagles are overdue. Temple will be a slight favorite, but Bo5tcn College could easily supply the third straight upset from the Acston area in as many weeks.
 Harvard's modern ironmen, who amazed the east by downing previ- Ously unbeaten Dartmouth and then tieing undefeated Navy, travel to Tigerland in the favorite role for the first time this season for their clash with Rig-Three rival Prince ton. Though the nations richest university sent only 28 players to New Jersey today, Harvard should defeat crippled Princeton by at least two touchdowns.
 Brown, with only disputed loss to Columbia marring its record, jour- neys to New Haven, Conn, for a tussle with rebuilding Yale. The Bears have one of the finest sopho- more backs in the east in Bobby Margarita and may spring a minor upset in beating Yale.
 Dartmouth, on even keel again after its loss to Harvard, rules fa- vorite to gain its fifth win in six starts at the expense of high-scor- ing William & Mary eleven that also is once-beaten.
 Holy Cross enters its road conflict with Colgate shortender in tussle that may affect the future of its coach Joe Sheeketski. Holy Cross stock hit an over enthusiastic high when the Crusaders defeated Lou isiana State in the opener, but two subsequent defeats, due to injuries and lack of reserves, have started the wolf cry for Sheeketski's re- moval.
