Soldiers. like other men, cannot
live by bread alone. Napoleon
pointed out that in his campaigns
his army may have Travelled on its
stomach, but it fought with its
heart So be it with the men al
Davis-Monhan Field.
During the long day. and often
through the night, they are en-
gagged in grueling training pro
gram for the inevitable clash.
Bombers soar into space carry
ing with them pilots, gunners and
engineers whose task is a sensi-
tive and exacting as surgeon )
operation. Conveys stretch out over
the roads carrying men who are
learning how 10 fight under simu-
lated field conditions Signal
Corps men, ground crews, ordn-
ance soldiers and others are learn
ing their job. and learning IL we'll.
These men, when their work is
done. need diversion and recrea-
tion.
The time and energy expended
by the various groups and organ
izations in and around Tucson for
soldier welfare has already been
duly noted and appreciated. But,
it is refreshing to observe what
soldiers do for themselves 20 spend
their few leisure hours.
on TO a section of clean. white
barracks we marched. There was a
spacious Rec Hall. equipped with
modern acoustical and stage ap-
purtanees. a group OF entertainers
representing every possible unit
of the Base were awaiting their
cue TO go on.
A quartet OF Negro boys from
the nearby infantry unit. in per
feet cadence and harmony were
singing deep, resonant spirituals.
Their songs were of the deep
South. OF the love they have for
the land they had 10 leave. of
their hope to return. In striking
contrast the next performer frol
icked and bantered about. like an
old time vaudevillian. breaking
into a song and dance between
gags. His quips about army life
kept the audience chucklin'. A
group OF Quartermaster warblers
started taunting song, in tune
with the old grey mare amt what
she used 10 be, etc. We don't have
10 march like the infantry, ride
like the cavalry. shoot like the
artillery" they chanted. Their
pantomine along with the singing
was hilarious. The Air Corps sol
diers and others responded with
good natured kidding and mimicry.
on to West Camp In an area OF
unassigned units we made our way
Our ears and eyes were bent on
hearing sounds of soldiers at play.
Into a dimly lii building we saun-
tered. There sitting on the floor,
were three men. One held a spoon
between his fingers, another was
cleaning his harmonica, the third
tuning his guitar. Without much
ado the soldier with the spoons
began beating a tune on his knees
the others picking ii up with their
instruments. and before we could
catch our breath the entire bar
rack was singing Roll Out the
Barrell."
Into the Day Room we went
There in a corner surrounded by
group of boys was a young man

Nelson Favored
in Coast Tourney

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %
(R-The $4,000 San Francisco
72-hole Open Golf Tournament
starts today with $50 of the ma
tons touring teemen on the fir
ing line and Byron Nelson OF
Toledo, O., concededly the man
to beat.
The large field will shoot Ia
holes daily with the final round
Sunday. Play is on the up and
down hill course of the Califor-
MIA Golf Club.
Nelson was rated favorite
because of his brilliant perform
ance in winning the top money
in the Oakland Open. Golfers
agreed, too, that the California
Club course with its heavy bor-
ders of trees, is made to order for
the Ohio iron shot specialists
game. Nelson, in practise, has
regularly cracked its 36-36-72
par.
Texas-born Ben Hogan, now
of Hershey, Pa, who won the
Los Angeles Open two weeks
ago, and Lawson Little, another
crack pro, were rated high
among Nelson's rivals. John
Dawson, the amateur who scored
a IS for the lowest for any
round in the Oakland Open, was
considered another likely con-
tender.

Rees Kramer, one of Detroit's
most noted instructors and play
ers, will appear the nj g h of

recreation night program spon-

for his exhibition.
Twelve years ago, Kramer
was instrumental in establishing
the first badminton club in De-

err, who is no relative.
He will illustrate some of the
finer points of the game in his
