Holy Cross, formerly addicted m dull blue, will be purple from headgear to shoes, while Boston ■ College will have a gaudy maroon and gold color scheme from footgear to helmets. Even Harvard will send its varsity on the field with crimson helmets, (jrtmson jerseys, crimson pants, crimson, stockings and crimson hand-protectors.
