Last week in Manhattan, at a luncheon of the Touchdown Club, Footballer Heffelfinger's embattled head was crowned with a final wreath. Sportswriter Grantland Rice, Walter Camp's successor as All-America picker, called him "the greatest football player that ever lived." Last week many a band of potential football heroes clashed on U.

Financial writers then discovered Marcellus Joslyn's old labor policy, adopted during the post-War period of strikes and labor migrations, and Father Coughlin presented him with an oratorical laurel wreath. Scholarly President Joslyn-who is 64, and often mistaken for a doctor because of his black goatee and spectacles, and who still goes to the office every day except Wednesday, when he stays home to read to his wife while she knits-enjoys a great deal of pride...
