Quarterback: Norman Snead, 21, Wake Forest; 6 ft. 4 in., 208 Ibs. Although Snead was snubbed by the wire-service All-Americas, the pros call him "a pure passer" with the advantage of enough height to look over the offensive line.

Ben Hogan was unable to earn a single birdie in the first 54 holes, did not survive the final cut. Palmer took a horrendous triple-bogey 8 on the 625-yd. 16th on the third day, finished with a six-over-par 286, retired...
...when Stevenson was asked about Truman's on-again, off-again attitude toward attending the convention: "The trouble with Harry is that he's indecisive." Added Actor-Director Jim Backus: "It is a disgrace that Harry Truman is not coming. It's the same as Sam Snead not going to the Republican Convention...
