...Flung Huey, football forecaster extraordinary, has had a remarkable career, both in his country and in China. Known far and wide throughout the Orient for his ability as a seer, and as a natural wit, as well as being titular head of the Hu dynasty, he was brought to Harvard by error during the administration of President Lowell. In 1925 Mr. Lowell was frantic for a good halfback, and as all domestic material had been bought up by Yale, Princeton and Notre Dame, he extended his search to the Orient. His demands for a good punter were misinterpreted to mean...
...months ago, he has been nursing a pair of first-string grudges: against the personality and policies of the man who defeated him and against those in his own party who regard him as a discredited liability. Last week came a golden opportunity to flay the former, assert his titular party leadership to the latter when Young Republicans from eleven Western States met 1,200 strong at the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland, Calif. It was the 31st President's first strictly political speech since he left Washington. It was also the first formal forensic broadside of the Republican...
...However successful the "American brand" of Catholicism was, there remained some nervous concern in 1924 when Patrick Hayes arrived in Rome to receive his red hat. He looked too young to be a Cardinal. And he shocked many a Roman when he preached his first sermon in his titular church in English. Then the new Cardinal cabled home: "My blessings to Little Old New York." That, eleven years later, the Pope chose his "dear little brother" Hayes to send to Cleveland rather than Boston's imperious O'Connell, Philadelphia's autocratic Dougherty or Chicago's cheery Mundelein may mark...
...years ago Pope Pius XI reappointed Monsignor James Hugh Ryan to his second five-year term as rector of the Catholic University of America (Washington, D. C.). Later he made a titular bishop of that broad-faced, black-browed philosopher who had rebuilt the nation's only pontifical university (TIME, Nov. 6, 1933). Last week the Pope named Bishop Ryan, 48, to succeed Most Rev. Joseph Francis Rummel of Omaha, now Archbishop of New Orleans. Catholics viewed as a promotion this transfer to a thriving diocese with no financial troubles. Needing no further consecration, Bishop Ryan will be installed...
Steadfast in his policy of rapidly advancing energetic young priests (see above), the Pope last week appointed not only the youngest bishop in the U. S. but also the first in the world born in the 20th Century. He was Very Rev. Monsignor Raymond Augustine Kearney, 32. His posts: titular bishop of Lisinia (Asia Minor), auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Brooklyn, N. Y. which includes all Long Island, is smaller (1,086,722 Catholics) only than the archdioceses of New York and Chicago. Jersey City-born, sandy-haired Bishop Kearney was ordained in 1927 in the Lateran Basilica...
