...Christian Beacon, fundamentalist weekly of the Bible Presbyterian Church,* had a big story last week and spread it over four of its eight pages. The story: a U.S. Navy chaplain had resigned rather than approve liquor for sailors or give talks on venereal disease...
...Sawdust. To Boston-born Dr. Maier, who was 50 last week, the way to Christ is through the Bible. He is a Fundamentalist and glories in the name: "I don't quote Scripture with my fingers crossed." He has no use for "sawdust" sermons, bases his own on "the Word of God, the divinely and literally inspired record of our Heavenly Father for the guidance, instruction, and salvation of His children." Vast numbers of Bible-loving people, both Protestant and Catholic, write to thank him for stressing his Bible message...

Operating from a basic single wing-back formation, Odell has combined the features of attacks that he learned while coaching at Pittsburgh (under that canny old fundamentalist Jock Sutherland), Harvard, and Pennsylvania. The secret of his winning system and the tip-off on what to watch for when and if Yale starts to march on Saturday can be gleaned from his own words...
