...Soon a Fundamentalist Presbyterian group in Philadelphia smelled heresy in Fosdick's sermons, sent word to the New York brethren to cast out the interloper. The battle was noisy. The Presbyterian General Assembly finally suggested a way out: Fosdick might become a Presbyterian. Harry Fosdick refused; he said it would be too much like making the ministry a denominationally "closed shop." His farewell sermon packed the First Church. The closing hymn was "God be with you Till We Meet Again." He had to shake hands for an hour afterwards...
Perhaps the regeneration can be explained by the appearance of new coaching talent on the Blue horizon in the person of Howie Odell. 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...
...mammoth shoes of Clint Frank and Larry Kelley when the product of Odell's first year effort trots into the Bowl. Individual stars are not an essential ingredient in the Odell formula, nor is any November circus stuff to be expected from this Eli mentor who is an avowed fundamentalist...
...Japanese have held three fundamentalist Presbyterian missionaries incommunicado in Manchukuo since Oct. 22. Protests by the U.S. State Department have failed even to elicit the charge against the missionaries. Four days after the arrest at Harbin, the Japanese hustled the trio-Dr. and Mrs. Roy M. Byram, the Rev. Bruce Hunt-500 miles south to Antung, on the Korean border. Probable reason: to make them testify at the trial of the Korean Christians arrested for refusing to take part in State Shinto rites. Secondary reason: to frighten remaining U.S. missionaries out of Manchukuo...
...fundamentalist opponent of the Federal Council of Churches-the American Council of Christian Churches-set itself up last week. But instead of showing fundamentalism's strength among U.S. Protestants, the move showed its weakness. The American Council's only two constituent denominations are the Bible Protestants and the Bible Presbyterians-two sects which together have only 125 churches and some 35,000 members. Furthermore, not a single church of 50,000 members or more seems likely to join the American Council as a body. Comparable figures for the Federal Council: 22 denominations with 134,702 churches...
