When play started, the Texans swept the field like a tornado. The first day, only four golfers broke 70. They were Jimmy Demaret, Byron Nelson and two other Texans, Oldtimer Harry Cooper and Newcomer Lloyd Mangrum, both of Dallas. The Augusta Masters has always produced at least one spectacular round. That day last week those Texans made all previous feats look humdrum. Playing with characteristic nonchalance, chatty Jimmy Demaret-in his first Masters-shot a 67 that included a prodigious six-under-par 30 for the second nine. It was the lowest nine-hole score ever recorded in a major...
...beginning to wonder what makes Texans so mighty,* Demaret and Mangrum led the parade, with Nelson close on their heels. On the fourth day, when final scores were posted, Texas won by a landslide: Demaret in first place with 280, Mangrum second with 284, Nelson third with 285 ; Harry Cooper tied for fourth with two non-Texans...
...Meyers of Northeastern was high man with 276 points, and Bedworth of Yale was third with 275. Captain Lem Hyde, with 275, Slim Goldberg with 274 and Les Rusoff with 273, all, of Harvard, however, became the other three of the top fie sharpshooters. Diz Dunbar, 266, and Bill Cooper, 260, were the other Crimson shooters, while Ted Miller and Larry Shaul acted as alternates. Next year's captain and letter winners will be announced later...
...with as much hullabaloo as if he had captured 132 Germans singlehanded, announced that he had captured Sergeant York. True, it was a little late. Ruddy, fat and 52, Sergeant York was no longer just the type to play a hero even when the hero was himself. Perhaps Gary Cooper or Gary Grant would do it. Be that as it may, Sergeant York, said Jesse Lasky, had agreed to come to Hollywood to work (with famed Author Gene Fowler) on a script for The Life of Sergeant York. The picture would cost some...
While Tennessee's Governor Prentice Cooper shot big-gun advice from behind the lines and Lasky and the lawyer pow-wowed, Sergeant York just talked. He talked about not liking to leave his post as head of a CCC camp (soon to close), about maybe running for Congress (he can't under the Hatch Act). He wasn't sure he was going to Hollywood. He wasn't even sure yet, he said, that the Lasky deal was a deal.* But one thing the Sergeant was sure of-what The Life of Sergeant York would be like...
