...Appointed Byron Price, of the abolished Office of Censorship, to be public-relations adviser to General Eisenhower in occupied Germany...
...Byron Nelson, who has been making it hard for other golf pros to earn a week's pay, finally lost a tournament-after eleven straight wins. Equally surprising, he and his fellow pros (Nelson finished fourth) lost the $10,000 Memphis Open to an amateur. Unruffled by the fast company, Amateur Fred Haas Jr., a Louisiana insurance salesman, was good on the fairways and even better on the greens.

Perhaps it was because they played for charity instead of pay, but the match proved nothing more startling than that Snead and Nelson were equally human where strokes count most-on the greens...
