BYRON NELSON
TAKES TOURNEY
FROM M'SPADEN
Golf Master Shoots Seven
Under Par To Win
War Bond Tour
By SKIPPER PATRICK

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-P)-
Golf Master Byron Nelson of Tole-
do, Ohio, helped himself to a ST.
1888 war bond valentine-eve gift
today by shooting a sensational T.
under-par IS to defeat Harold Jug)
MeSpaden, Sanford, Me-, by five
strokes m play-off round for the
New Orleans open golf champion
ship.
1t was Nelson's first title in the
seven tournaments here and his
fourth win of the winter season.
while McSpaden chalked up his
third second in six previous New
Orleans opens.
Playing under 'tee-up" winter
rules on a course made slow by
heavy rains over the week end,
Nelson equalled the course and
tournament record for Is holes set
by Henry Picard, Harrisburg, Pa,
in the 1941 tournament.
Nelson's play today was one OF
the best exhibitions of the winter
tournament season.
He putted at IA brides, three
eagles and one par. He got five OF
the brides, missed the three
eagles and bagged the par.
He putted for eagles on the sec
ond, sixth and 18th from eight,
eight, and 20 feet, respectively,
but missed by six inches or less
and consequently got the brides.
giving him eight brides, eight
pars and one DOGGY for the round.
Mcspaden, after falling into
a 284 tie with Nelson at the end OF
the regular Y holes of play yester'
day by turning in one bad round
also shot masterfully today, but he
was no match for "Mr. Golf" He
had pars on IL holes, got four bir'
dies and two bogeys.
1t was a tough break for Me-
Spaden, who lost the tournament
last year to Sammy Byrd after
setting the pace up to the last 1S
holes.
Nelson played perfect golf from
tee-to-green on all but one hole,
the 18th, and he exploded out OF
trap on that hole to within four
feet of the. cup and easily eaptur-
ed his par three.
Completely relaxed and master
practically all of the way. Nelson
was within reach of a 12-under par
60 for the round. Puts for brides
on the first, third, seventh, eighth,
tenth, 18th, 12h, and 18th holes all
stopped short six inches or less.
McSpaden's second was good for
$933.33 in war bonds.

Capt. Joseph L. Guide, formerly of
Derwood, Md, a company COM
pany commander serving with the
4th Infantry Division in Germany,
has been awarded the Oak Leaf
Cluster to the Silver Star for GAL
lantry in action.
The citation reads: capt. Guide
was in command of his rifle COM
pany as it jumped of in an attack
against a German force which was
defending from heavily fortified
positions In thickly wooded area.
The company's advance was re-
tarded by German artillery, mortar,
machine gun and small arms fire,
delivered from positions which were
difficult to detect because OF the
denseness Of the forest.
LAS the company fought its way
steadily forward against stubborn
resistance, Capt Guide moved
through fire-swept terrain to main
tain control over the fire and move
ment OF his men. In leading one
thrust, he was seriously wounded
and, although suffering extreme
pain, he remained with his men
and continued to direct the ad-
vance. He personally entered the
final fire fight in which his company
gained definite fire superiority after
seven hours of intense fighting. Capt
Guides determined efforts main
tanned a co-ordinated attack which
ended with the successful achieve
ment OF the company's objective.

D. {. Officer Justifies
Field Commission

WITH THE 9oth INFANTRY IN
GERMANY During the recent
drive across the Cologne plain, I'd
1t. John E. Dunn, 1864 Clifton
street NV, Washington, D. c., q
forward observer for A Battery of
the 37lst Field Artillery Battalion,
proved his ability and knowledge of
infantry tactics. He had received
IA battlefield commission a few
weeks earlier, and this was his first
experience on a major offensive as
an officer.
The company which 1t. Dunn
accompanied made its "jumpof''
at daybreak. On reaching its first
objective, the company was pinned
down by small arms, mortar and
artillery fire. Here, the company
commander and his assistant were
casualties of the heavy mortar fire
The third officer who quickly took
command of the company knew lit
tie about the situation and had
no maps. He turned for assistance
to 1t. Dunn, who knew the situation
very well and pointed out future
detectives and routes of approach
all of which later proved to be
highly successful.
On taking the small villages, the
company lost much time and be-
came disorganized while routing out
the civilians. 1t. Dunn advised the
use OF other tactics while handling
the civilian population, which en-
abled the company to advance at
greater speed.
Before taking each objective, 1t
Dunn would lay down artillery bar
RACES and then lift them in per-
fectly timed coordination with the
company's advance.
On reaching their final objec-
tive, the company dug in and every
one seemed to have forgotten their
right flank, but 1t. Dunn had al
ready established his observation
post and was keeping a watchful
eye on that flank. He observed
that enemy tanks and infantry were
moving up to positions which seemed
to have been previously prepared
1t. Dunn Immediately directed ar
tillery. The ferries deserted their
positions and fled toward the Rhine.
Appreciation for 1t. Dunn's work
came by way of a compliment from
the company commander, who said,
That was the prettiest artillery
fire I've ever seen!"'
