Quarterback William J. Donlan, Jr. '57, who ten days ago switched from Harvard to Holy Cross has jumped the Worcester school for Boston College.

Donlan, who lives in Brighton and attended B.C. High, gave his reason for changing as a desire to be near his ill mother.

He says he will not receive any financial aid at Boston College.
