The Nelson Suing

Nelson" Diegel continued, "has
the soundest swing in golf. He is
the finest long iron player l ever
saw. He has one odd feature, and
this is his wrist action. At the top
Of his backswing you will see almost
no break of his left wrist.
byron doesn't cock his left wrist
at alI-or only slightly. He uses q
strong, firm left hand and wrist
that is always in control Of the club
head, which he never lets dip. He
hasn't nearly as much body action
as many good golfers have, for ne
lets his body work with his hands
and arms. He also has almost per-
feet head action. l mean by this
that his head remains in place until
the ball is hit.
81 don't know of any golfer who
has a more compact style of swing
ing a club. Everything is under
control. He has cut the margin OF
error to near zero.

His Weakest Shot

81 would say Byron's weakest
shot was the short chip" Leo said.
This is due to his lack of even slight
wrist action on this stroke. He isn't
bad just off the green, but he isn't
as deadly as he is on other shots. l
have often seen him play long irons
from 200 or 220 yards away just as
close to the pin as he would from 20
yards away.
another factor is his perfect con-
fidence in his own swing. I've also
seen him dsop or 10 balls on the
turf in just average lies, take out a
driver, and hit them all over $50
yards as straight as rifle can shoot.
"Too many golfers bother too
much with unimportant details.
They don't concentrate enough on
what their hands and wrists are do
ing with the head of the club. Too
often they think about everything
except swinging that clubhead
through the ball.
"You don't swing a club with your
hips and shoulders. You swing it
with your hands. II you watch Mel
SON you get the idea that he isn't
using anything except his hands. Of
course, ne does, but he lets the rest
Of II &c In, not work against his
hands. 80

Tough Competitors

''Why is il those Texans are such
tough competitors?" Diegel asked.
'They come along with Ralph Gull
dahl, who wins two National Opens
in q row. Then they give you a
Jimmy Demaret who wins eight big
tournaments in few months. Then
along comes Ben Hogan and Byron
Nelson. Hogan is one Of the most
successful golfers that ever played.
You may recall that he finished in
the money SO consecutive times be-
fore he slipped little. Then at
Miami he finished second after lead
ing the field for three rounds.
"HOgan uses his wrists and body
much more than Nelson does. Ben,
weighing only l33 pounds, has to do
this--to get the distance needed to-
day. Hogan has 4 far greater body
turn than Nelson uses, and more
flexible wrists. Ben lets the club
head dip at least Is inches or two
feet more than Nelson does. Byron
uses little more than three-quarter
swing.
''Nelson, Hogan and Sam Snead
make one of the most interesting
studies in golf" Diegel said. "AlI
three are great golfers three of the
greatest we've ever had.

teeth In every round, concentrates

It needed no mind reading to
fathom what was behind that war
department announcement Of the
purchase Of 100000, 900 feet Of lum-
Der and 240,000 kegs of nails-the
biggest order Of its kind in U. S.
history.
The materials are for the con-
struction OF numerous new army
environments and the enlargement
Of existing ones.
Army strength, down to 1,600,0O0
after the rehabilitation Of 20 to 50
year olds last fall, Is due for a big
increase-at least another 1000, 900
after the next draft lottery follow
ing the February 16 registration Of
men between 81 and A.
An estimated $4,000, 900 will regis
ter next month, and on the basis Of
past experience only about s per
cent will be rated la; that is, SUBJ
ject to immediate call. Heretofore
the army has indicted only men in
good physical condition, with no de-
pendents and not engaged in 'es-
sential" production.
However, as the need for military
manpower develops, la standards
will be broadened and many thou
sands Of lib, IA, and 2-B deferees
by pre-war standards will be called
up.
For the present, the army still is
placing primary emphasis on youth.
The February IS registration is ex-
pected to list around 100000 20-21
youngsters and the largest proper
ton of new inductees will come from
this group. Registrars in the SO
to "A group will have to be in top
condition to get in the army at this
time.
However, big scale inductions
from this age group can be expected
by fall, particularly those with no
dependents and with previous mill
tary service.
For the present the army will take
its older-age recruits from the %
to 35 year olds who were exempted
because of dependency or defense
work.

REDTAPE BUSTER

ordnance IS the NauSntleSC anu
most hide-bound branch of the
army. So much so that it has been
the object of much bitter private
criticism by civilian defense chiefs.
But there is one notable exception
to this Ordnance rule. He is Will
liam Van Antwerp Kemp, a tall,
husky, dynamic engineer, who made
a big success in private business
and volunteered his services when
the national emergency arose. Since
then, as an Ammunition division ex-
ecutive, he has been making his
tory, busting redtape in tradition
bound Ordnance.
There are many tales of Kemp's
unconventional exploits. The latest
is one of the best.
Asked by general to suggest
manager for new government
munition plant about to begin pro-
duction, Kemp recommended crack
expert who had been loaned to the
British to build a plant in England.
''He ought to be finished with his
job over there by now" said Kemp.
IF he is, get him." was the order.
From the British, Kemp learned
the expert had completed his work
and was available. So Kemp picked
up a phone and called the state de-
partment.
II want to talk to the guy" he
said, 'twho gets guys back from Eng
land"
There was gasp, but the operator
switched Kemp to someone who
asked him who he was and what
he wanted.
"I'm Kemp Of Army Ordnance"
he said. There's guy in England
we want to run an ammunition plant
for us. Get him back here right
away, will your"
Six days later the expert reported
to Kemp and left for his new job.
A few days later the general again
summoned Kemp, asked what had
been done about the expert.
''It's all taken care of, general"
said Kemp. Hes been on the job
at the plant two days"
"How did you get him back here
so fast?"
mo trouble. / just called up the
state department, asked for the guy
who gets guys back here and he
arranged it,"
Kemp" said the general severe
ly, "do you know who that guy in
the state department was?"
"No, SIR"
"He was the undersecretary of
state"
Note: Kemp has persistently re-
fused to accept an army commits
sion. Finally, pressed by the gen.
eral for the reason, he retorted:
"Some day / may want to come in
here and blow up. If do, as an
officer you could court-martial me.
But as civilian, all you can do is
fire me. I'm remaining civilian. I"
JAP SCHOOL LESSONS
After three years probing of SUBJ
versive activities, it takes a lot to
excite Rep. Martin Dies, but the 9TH
er day the rangy Texan hit on a
discovery that took his breath away.
His committee has been making
sweeping inquiry of Jap fifth
colunning on the West coast, includ-
ing subversive teaching in japanese
language schools located all over
southern California. Investigators
found that from the primary grades
up students in these schools are in
| doctrinated with militarism and the

An increase of 567 admissions in 1941 as compared with 194O is re- ported by Miss Greer and total operating revenue in 1941 were $474,879.65 an increase of ESQ., 924.45.
 'The total operating expenses also increased" Miss Creer's report states. "These expenses naturally reflect the higher costs prevailing this year in respect to food, supplies and wages, and causes the net oper- ating loss to increase $16,539.49 be- fore depreciation on buildings and land improvements"
 A new record of 301 patients un- der treatment was established at the hospital July 9, 1941. The total number of admissions in 1941 was $500 as against 7,733 for 1940, an Increase of 567.
 The report reveals an increase in the personnel employed at the hos- pital as of September 30, 1941 when 395 were employed as compared with 309 the previous year.
 The report of the executive com- mittee contains 8 suggestion that an expansion program is contem- plated.
 The report states, Realizing that 1t may be necessary to expand the bed capacity of our hospital and not wanting to increase without having a definite plan for develop ment, a survey was made by the architectural phases by the firm of Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott and of the engineering phase by the office of Hollis French.
 'Tt became necessary to lay a steam line from the French Mfg. co. to the hospital, and steam was contributed by that firm on two occasions while repairs were being made in our boiler plant. The architects and engineers are now working on plans for 8 new boiler plant and laundry, which facilities are the beginning of what may be- come an expansion program"
