ATLANTA, Ga April 5 (UP)
It's get-away day today on the
professional !! ilfing circuit and
the rest of the field will have
its last chance of the season to
break up the Byron Nelson

hope of the bug -shot fans was
Jim Demaret, the Texas sailor
on navy leave who has been
playing in practice rounds as if
he had never heard of either
Nelron or Snead.
Nelson, Snead Favorad
Nevertheless, Nelson, the Tol
edo veteran" and Snead, the Wtst
Virginian who served n hitch in
the navy himiclf, are the one
two favorites. Nelson is going
after his eighth tournament vic
tory of the winter season and
Snead is seeking his seventh. To
gether they have won 13 of the
17 meets that have taken the na
tion's lop pros from Oregon to
Clcoi gia.
What put Di'inarel into the
foreground was his first round
over the lough Capital City
course in which ho turned in a
four-undor-par (i5. Nelson's best
practice effort was an efficient
(i7, better than his average in
tournament play.
Normally, Demaret wouldn't

little opport unity to practice
regularly in the navy.
