PLAY OFF TODAY;
NELSON SEVENTH
Pensacola, Fla., Feb. 25 U.R)
Ray Mangrum of Los Angeles,
once a famous name in golfing
circles, meets little Ben Hogan
of Hersliey, Pa., in an I8-hole
playoff today in an attempt to
score his first tournament vic
tory of 1946 in the $7,500 Pensa
cola open.
Mangrum would never of had
a chance at the $1,500 first prize
money if Hogan, usually a nerve
less perfectionist, had not blown
up on his final round yesterday
and thrown away a three-stroke
lead.
Hncan teed off for the fourth
round 10 strokes under par and
apparently holding a safe mar
gin. But his booming drives went
awry in a howling northwest
wind and he finished with a 71,
one under par.
Mangrum came in behind the
mighty Texas-born mite with a
four-under-par 68 to move into
a tie with Hogan at 277 strokes
at the end of 72 holes.
Today's playoff is for a dif
ference of $500, the winner tak
ing $1,500 and the loser receiv
ing second-place money of
$1,000.
E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Lit
tle Rock, Ark., grabbed the
third-place prize yesterday with
a 281-stroke total, seven under
par, and Fred Haas, Jr., of New
Orleans finished with 282 for
fourth-place.
Byron Nelson, who a week ago
won the New Orleans open, nev
er was in the running after an
opening round of 75 and finally
wound up in a tie for seventh
place with George Schneider of
Salt Lake City and Denny Shute
of Akron, O., at 286 strokes, only
two under par.

today needed two games to tie
and three to win their first Pa
cific Coast conference northern

A Message from
President Truman
It is of the utmost importance that the Ameri
can people understand the status and signifi
cance of our new Regular Army. It will be
the duty of this volunteer Army to help pro
tect the freedoms and maintain the peace we
have won at so great a cost.
Atomic power has increased rather than
decreased the necessity for our preparation,
both in manpower and material. In the
coming atomic age, the United States must
maintain its military strength to. insure
our national security and to promote
world order.
Such grave responsibilities obviously can
' not be met by anything less than the high
est caliber of men. For this reason, I asked
Congress for legislation to increase the op
portunities of the soldier in the Regular
Army. This legislation has been passed and
signed by me, and is now in effect
In serving his country, a man can now get
good pay, education, travel and security
with family allowances for his dependents
and a new 20-year retirement plan that com
pare with or excels anything in American
industry. These, and the many other advan
tages of the new Regular Army, should be
made known to all our service men and their
families.
The Anny has embarked upon a world
wide campaign to enlist enough men so
that, in demobilizing, we shall not strip our
services below the peacetime need. It is
imperative that public support be given to
this program. We must replace as soon as
possible men who have served long and
arduously, and who wish to return to civil
life. We must also build an Army of volun
teers adequate to all our requirements at
home and abroad until the long-range peace
terms and military policies are worked out.
I hope that every individual and group
will give earnest and enthusiastic co-operation
to this great cflort to rebuild our Regu
lar Army. The success of this campaign is
vital to the performance of our tremendous
. st-tuiuig me peace.
