Veteran Cinemactor Lew (All Quiet on the Western Front) Ayres, 45, whose militant pacifism led him into the noncombatant ranks of World War II's conscientious objectors, passed through Istanbul after a half-year's sampling of Asia's welter of religions. He planned, with the aid of some 75,000 feet of movie film shot during his pilgrimage, to lecture on his findings in the U.S. Of all the religions he had looked over, Ayres liked Mohammedanism best as an ideal faith for world brotherhood.

In the quarterfinals he polished off Australia's hardhitting Davis Cupman Lew Hoad; in the semi-finals his booming service disposed of American Budge Patty (who had already knocked out Defending Champion Vic Seixas).

...first start, he blazed over the Oakland Hills Course at Detroit with a record-breaking 283. "Laddie," said Tommy Armour, "you've just won yourself a championship." But another youngster, Ralph Guldahl, finished with an even more sensational 281. In 1947 Snead tied with Lew Worsham to win the Open, then lost the play-off by the length of a 30 1/2-inch putt...
