This week, after 72 holes of the Phoenix Open, Demaret and Ben Hogan were tied up again. In the 18-hole playoff, things got better for Demaret. He took an early lead, lost it, took it back again with a birdie on the 345-yd. 14th. Then he got his big break (a double one) on the 17th...
Jimmy hooked his drive toward the rough, but the ball hit a spectator and caromed back onto the fairway. His next, a strong approach shot headed for the back-of-beyond, hit a second spectator and dropped on the edge of the green. Demaret took a par for the hole and gained another stroke on Hogan. Jimmy sealed the victory on the 18th with a 30-ft. putt for a birdie, a 67 and first-prize money of $2,000. Hogan missed an easy putt for a 70. Grinned Jimmy, who would be riding the rest of the winter circuit...
...Republicans in the red. Obviously there was nothing like a victory to stimulate the check-writing muscles: the Democratic National Committee had collected $2,308,211, and had $51,432 left in the till. The Republican National Committee, which spent $2,736,334, was $228,938 in the hole...
...attempt to catch up with Columbia, RCA Victor next day demonstrated its new, small, unbreakable record (TIME, Dec. 27). It has a large center hole, and is geared for 45 revolutions a minute (compared to the standard 78). Thus it could not be played on conventional phonographs or on Columbia's attachments. It required a new record player, made by RCA. The advantages of the new record (higher fidelity, faster changing) seemed to be outweighed by the disadvantages. Victor would not even promise that "Victorgroove" would be cheaper. All it promised was that "the new system will...
...basic differences in speed are heightened by RCA's adopting its record to a new, rapid three-second changer. The adaptation requires a one and a half inch spindle hole, making it impossible for both the new RCA and Columbia records to be played on the same turntable. RCA has given up the idea of one symphony on one record, reduced the size of the record to seven inches, and come up with the startling result that its new record holds exactly the same amount of music as an old 12 incher. This leaves the entire advantage of the record...
