...zealous Jesuit and a poet with a substantial Catholic following is Rev. Leonard Feeney, 39, author of Fish on Friday, Riddle and Reverie, Boundaries. Dark, wiry Father Feeney taught English at Boston College from the time of his ordination nine years ago until he lately joined the Jesuit weekly, America, as columnist. As a guest preacher, he mounted the pulpit of Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral the Sunday before Christmas and, conscious of the superb sounding-board which that great fane afforded him, sermonized on a subject which he had half-whimsically, half-seriously pondered. Said Father...

Added to all these there was, of course, Nobel Prizeman Saavedra Lamas, one of the most important and one of the most difficult to handle. Dr. Saavedra is a rich man of excellent family and he married the daughter of a former President.

The erect, twinkling-eyed Icelander turned out to be wearing the fedora hat of the late great priest-chancellor of Austria, Monsignor Ignaz Seipel, with whom Father Svensson lived in Vienna and at whose death the Jesuit was present.

...more how to play football. But though their pants were the boldest green of the season and their scarlet jerseys were blazoned with brave green harps, the "Galloping Gaels" of St. Mary's College showed the East little this year. They were squeezed out 7-to-6 by Jesuit Fordham fortnight ago, trounced 20-to-6 by Jesuit Marquette last week in Chicago. Meanwhile, back home in Oakland things were going even worse.
