Nelson Hogan Caddy Rivalry
Continues AS They Ride High
Byron Retains
Stroke Margin
After 10 Years
BY BURTON BENJAMIN


,(NEA Service Staff Correspondent
Pinehurst, April 1.-THE year is
1924, and the two moppets are strut
ting along the fairway Of the Glen
Garden Golf club in Fort Worth
with all the aplomb of champions.
The occasion is Caddy Day in
which members reverse places with
the lub-luggers. This is playcff
round-nine holes-between two OF
the clubs youngsters.
Sub-teen, tanned, slight, typtcally
Texan, their names are John Byron
Nelson and Ben Hogan.
They shoot Ais on the first nine.
A second nine Is ordered. BY Nel-
son downs q long putt for 80 to
beat Hogan by stroke. He wins
q mashie for his efforts.
The year is 1912. The place,
Augusta, Ga. The occasion, the
Masters tournament, one Of COLTS
blue-ribbon events.
Again a playof Is required. Again
the gallery trails Texans Nelson and
Hogan, and again Lord Byron is the
winner by stroke. This time he
collects $500.
NELSON LEARNED
GOLF AFTER WORK
They have come a long way in
18 years, these two ex-caddies who
learned their golf on the hard, dry
fairways of the Lone Star State.
Old-timers still chant the praises
Of Harry Vardon, Walter Hagen
and Bobby Jones, but Nelson and
Hogan have reached heretofore un-
known scoring levels.
The story of Nelson, who not q
few veteran observers consider the
greatest golf1ng machine the world
has ever known, is one of sheer
courage and logged effort.
From deep in the heart Of Texas,
which was to produce not only he
and Hogan, but the ManTrum
brothers, Ray and Lloyd, Ralph
Guldahl, Gus Moreland, and others,
Nelson learned his golf the hard
way.
He picked up the rudimentS Of
the game as caddy. When he grew
older, he became a file clerk in a
railroad Office, hoped q streetcar
at five each night to hustle to the
club for practice.

SURVEYS

A popular project for college So
c,ology classes during these later
years has been the student sur
vey." Promoted as a practical and
realistic activity in keeping with
tina so-called modern educational
trend, the idea has caught on with
the auency OF an epidemic.
As a demonstration Of one OF the
so-easy theories which wash out TO
a pale shadow in practice, this de
vice il valuable. The procedure Is
10 dispatch a chosen class or group
OF students to a mining or manutac-
turing center where they dissemo.e
and 90 their ways individually or
III small groups to gather documen-
tai information on social and eco

homes and factories and questions
asked according 10 the best IudS
ment of the student. A man with 4

A follow-up Of one OF these eAper-
!,nents by a disinterested but curl
Gus outsider discloses as negligible
an accumulation OF data a. ever
zraced white paper an almost com
plete lack OF understanding Of fund
amental issues. The reason for this
lack Is not too obscure-for youth
and inexperience do not provide
sound background for comprehen'
sion o. the deep-rooted and vexa'
tious problems OF our modern civil
ization.
Some trivial benefits may derive
from like expeditions but 1t is
highly probable that they represent
a 80 per cent waste Of time.
Time, however, is not the para
mount issue in this instance. The
reason Tor comment upon this edu-
cational expedient is that It demon
strates so well the popular tendency

fallacies and act definitely and with

French Army Didn't Spend
All Credits, Jacomet Says
3, tn. Associated Press.

By thG Associated Press.
RON, Unoccupied France, March
12.-Pierre Jacomet, former admin
istrator OF national defense indus
tries who is one of the defendants
in Frances war guilt trials told
the Supreme Court today that the
die -hards OF the French Army did
not even spend the credits assigned
to them until Leon Blum, one OF his
co-defendants, assumed power as
Premier in 1896.
Jacomet declared the army's
credits were carried over and ac-
cumulated year after year. In Oc-
tober. 1896. he said, he found 300,-
900 900 francs still unspent from
the 1885 allotment.
Jacomet, who as general secretary
to the War Ministry used to be
considered the man who held all
the strings in his ministry sur
prised the audience and his fellow
defendants by devoting almost his
entire defense to supporting claim
that his responsibility in office was
strictly limited.
His arguments were in sharp con-
trast to those OF the previously
heard defendants, who without hes
itation accepted full responsibility
for their terms in office.
Jacomet charged the Renault
works with profteering in the man
ufacture OF tanks, asserting that
the price of the Renault tank fell
from 900 900 francs to 10000 francs
the moment the firms monopoly was
broken.
