CRIMSON TIDE
 PLAYS ARE
 MEYERS' WORRY
'Bama Made Big Mistake Against Georgia, Says
 B. C. Grid Mentor
BY JACK woLrsToN

lUnited Press Stan Correspondene)
 Miami, Fla, Dec. % --(Up)-- Coach Denny Myers of Boston col. lege, who still hiushes ct the men. ton of Holy Gross, thinks his once. beaten Eagles will run up against a tough passing attack when they meet Aiabama's Crimson Tide in the Orange Bowl here New Years day.
 The B. c. mentor sat In the shade of his hotel porch today studying Alabama pass plays, seemingly un. concerned about the Tides ground attack which accounted for all but 36 of the 200 points scored against 10 oppc nents this season.
 'its those Alabama pass plays we're worried about" Myers said. "The boys haven't been reaeting too well to any of them"
 Myers said his knowledge of sBama's offense was meager and that the closest thing to 1t which his Eagles encountered during the regular season was the style of play employed by Coach Jim Crowley's North Carolina Navy Pre- -FllEhters.
 Disregarding the Holy Cross game Myers said his squad was "try. ing too hard" when they took a 5S. 12 drubbing from the Crusaders - B. c. had It's toughest game against the Pre-Fiighters, edging them 7.6, Crowley's charges made their touchdoyn on pass play.
 Myers said he believed his Eagles would come up to the Alabama en. gagement in top shape, with the possible exception of Mickey Con. molly, triple. threat back who tore a shoulder liganient in the Ford. ham game and hasn't fully recov. cred yet.
 Blocks for A.A
 Connolly handles the passing and kicking chores and does most of the blocking for Big Mike Holovak, Boston's All-American back. To re. place him, Myers has the expert. enced Bill Boycs and Carl Lucas, Q freshman, both "better. .than-aver. age" backs.
 Myers said he didn't believe the Florida weather would bother his New England foothallerS, although 1t probably would be responsible for frequent substitutions.
 Alabama, which lost to Georgia, Georgia Tech and the Georgia Navy re.Flight eleven during the regular season, is scheduled to be- gin working out here today. The Eagles arrived week ago and worked out twice daily until Christ. mas when Myers cut the practice sessions to one day.
 Myers thinks the Boston.Tide en. gagement will provide the best Bowl contest in the country New Years day. He described B. c. and Ala" bama as two of the best ball teams in the country. each having made enc mistake.
 Alabama made the mistake of laying down under 0 i0.point lead when they played Georgia" he ex. plained. we made the mistake of scheduling Holy Cross"
