Rude Shock. Billy Joe Patton, the jovial lumberman from North Carolina who came close to winning the 1954 Masters, fell in the first round. He had Charles Coe, the 1949 winner, for company. Last year's Runner-Up Bob Sweeney lasted little longer. Handsome Harvie Ward, 29, the San Francisco car salesman who is onetime British amateur and U.S. intercollegiate champion, Walker Cup player and low amateur in this year's Masters and National Open, gave even himself a rude shock by barely squeaking through his first match. Easily a favorite in the pre-tournament selections, Ward...
...advanced toward independence. Besides Algeria's inhospitable plateaus, this is a broad stretch of country sloping down through grain fields, vineyards and great olive groves to the sea. It is the classic Ifriqiyeh, which gave its name to the whole continent. From Hannibal and Scipio to Rommel and Patton, soldiers have grappled for its strategical coasts, but the present Bey of Tunis, Sidi Mohammed el Amin, 74, belongs to a dynasty that has reigned for 250 years...

Landing on the Riviera, Johnston lugged his recording gear through Savoy to the link-up with Patton's army, advancing through the dragon's teeth of the Siegfried Line. The Seine was his fifth river, but the only experience Johnston records in Paris is of an unsuccessful brothel crawl. Soon he was back with Patton, blasting a path towards the Americans encircled in Bastogne. That Christmas, General Patton issued greeting cards with a prayer for good weather so that his fighter-bombers could strafe the Nazi armor. When the skies began clearing slowly, old Blood and Guts ordered...
...disappointments, McCurdy still got an amazing performance from junior Art Siler. Siler won the discus throw with a heave of 155-5 1-2, four inches more than Yale's Stew Thomson, and in the shot put, he surprised everyone by finishing second to Thomson, defeating Army's Dave Patton and Yale's Tom Henderson. The Crimson's Roger Mechanic was fifth in the discus...
