...Mary's Press Agent Tom Foudy boasted that 500,000 people would watch the team this year. St. Mary's rooters boasted two special trains for their annual two-week $54,000 transcontinental junket. St. Mary's players boasted scarlet shirts with white shoulders, decorated with green harps, blood-red headguards, emerald-green silk trousers, royal-blue stockings. Fordham had nothing to boast about except one point-result of Andy Palau's place kick after a touchdown on his pass to Jacunski-that outweighed two St. Mary's field goals...

Into the murk of old Sanders Theatre marched the 554 foreign delegates to Harvard's Tercentenary Celebration in their robes of black, scarlet, gold. Up to President James Bryant Conant and Harvard's Fellows, waiting on the dusty stage, they filed like graduates in some fabulous commencement. First, according to seniority, came swarthy Professor Saleh Hashem Attia from that most ancient university, Al-Azhar, founded at Cairo in 970 A. D. Lanky, bespectacled President Conant, trying to keep the golden tassel of his mortarboard from slipping forward as he bowed, pumped Professor Attia's hand, drawled...
