NOT SO HOT, BUT---
Acting in the role of a sort of poor man’s philosopher,
we might take this opportunity to note that, although all
is certainly not beer and skittles at the Georgia left half
back position, at least a small spark of cheer can be
ignited from an overall glance at the situation there.
‘Tr.2, only sophomores are
available for the near-impossible
task of [filling Charley Trippi’s
magic shoes, Some of them are
great prospects, indubitably, but
at best a year away. But the
gladdening element is the pres
ence on the left side of the for
ward wall of three hefty expe
rienced lineman who can open
holec if it is in any way possible
for them to be opened.
Weyman Selfcrs, brilliant
voung South Georgian who play
ed in the shade of an All-Seuth
ern end at high school, won't get
much showing at left end. Jack
Bush, the beefiest, and one of the
brainiest of Georgia’s regulars at
235 pounds, returns at left tackle,
and Herb St. John —the peer-
Jess, grim_ squatly workman of
perfection — plays left glard.
That will give Georgia left balf
backg something of a headstart
on the position, anyway,
Some pogitions on the Georgin
line-up—notably fullback, and
right tackle—will be notably in
sufficient to halt the charge of

* The cream of the golfing world|
will gather on April 3,4, 5,6,
at the Augusta National Golfl
Club in Augusta for the eleventh |
annual Master Invitational Golf
Tournament, :
This tourney has become one
of the top golfing events of the
year. It opens the summer cir
¢uit anq is very popular- among
tae pros and amateurs who par
ticipate.
~ Past Winners — Previous win-—‘
ners have been Horton Smith,
’34 and °’36; Byron Nelson, ’37,
'39; Gene Sarazen (’35), Henry
Picard (’3B), Ralph Guldahl (’39) ;
Jimmy Demaret (’4O), Craig
Wood (’4l) and Herman Keise~
1946. There was no tourney
from the years 1941-46 because
of the war.
Ralph Guldahl holds the best
winning score for the 72 holes
with a 279, This' was in the 1939
tournament and Sammy Snead
seemed a cinch for the Yaonors
when he turned ina score of 280
—a new record. Then Guldahl
shot the last nine holes in 33 for
a 279 total. Probably no one has
ever made a greater finida in the
kistory of golf. . . The pressurel
was on him all the way and he
knew it. But he came through—
the mark of a true caampion.
¥or example of tha type of
golf seen at the Masters, let us
ne take the ’42 tourney. Byron
Neoleon won for the cecond Hme!
triumph over Tulane.
The 44 Wildcat field goals to
taleq nine more than L. S, U.s
record 35 in #ae same 1946 game.
The 67 point margin was anoth
er record, bettering the 45-point
difference in Kentucky's 69-24
triumph over Auburn last year:
Also entering the record books

one game, the' 127 points improv

to join Horton Smith, the only
former “repeater” in the Masters
[ Tournament. And Byron did it the
laard way — by beating Ben Ho
gan in one of the greatest play
off matches ever staged.
Little Ben had gained a tie
280 after being 8 shots behing
at the halfway mark. Then i,
five holes of the playoff he forg.
ed ahead by three shots, Be.
ginning with the sixth Nelson
[pr.oceeded to make golfing history
by gaining 5 shots on Hogan in
11 holes although Hogan played
{those eleven holes in 1 under par,
Byron finished the round with
a one stroke winning margin,
. Ten times the Augusta Nation
al has been tested in a thorough
'going manner. An examination
'of fae returns to date reveal
some interesting facts,
Only twice has the winning mar.
gin exceeded two strokes. Dem
aret won by four strokes in 1940
and Wood by three strokes in
’4l, In the ten years of tourna
ment play only 57 scores under
)290 have been shot — an aver
:age of less than 6 for each tour
nament, :
Tough Course — In all some
1,971 rounds ‘*aave been played
in Masters Tournaments, and
only 68 cards have been below
70, So you see by these few fig
uves that the course down in
Augusta gives the big boys plen
ty to sweat about. I’s a par 72,
6,800-yard layout and is said to
be the most perfectly planned
course in the world, Each hole
was copied from some osier
tough hole at famous golf cours
es and so every tee shot offers
a test of a champion,
Who will be the winner this
yvear? Golf is funny, you can't
call the winners as you might in
football or baseball — it just
isn’t done. Golf lis a game of
nerves, and it depends upon fae
frame of - mind of the pilayer
whether or not he can be de
pended upon for his usual game,
