He played center for the 1927 "dream and wonder team" which defeated Yale at the Yale Bowl on October 8.[2][3] He was selected All-Southern by Miss Emily Boyd, sports editor of the Griffin Daily News, the only woman sports editor in the south.[4]

1929

Boland was captain of the 1929 team.[5][6] Georgia again defeated Yale, this time at home in Yale's first game played in the south. He was the first center to receive honorable mention on the Associated Press All-Southern team, placing behind Lloyd Roberts of Tulane and Julian Bealle of South Carolina of the first and second teams.
