NEW YORK, July 16 (IP)
Scoop: The 1945 Army-Navy
footDall game already has been
played and wound up in a score
less tie. . . Tnat information
comes via a copy of the "Dany
Pacilican" relayed from Manila
by Dick Case, the trotting-horse
man. . . ne game was piayeo.
In mud and rain (not uncommon
at Army-Navy tussles) in Man
ila's Rizal stadium before 20,000
GI fans who jammed the end
zones and even perched on the
stadium roof. . . Navy, witn in-
dlan Bill Geyer, formerly of
Colgate and the Chicago Bears,
making some nice off tackle
gains and shifty Bill Gatewood
threatening to break loose,
reached the 25-yard line several
times only to be stopped by
Army's linemen, led by Major
Tom Mesereau, who was playing
guard at West Point a couple of
years ago.
SHOO-T FORMATION
The "Pacifican" also tells how
six doughboys detailed to check
infiltration attempts along a
Philippine ' trail-devised by 2-1-1-2
defense that worked. . . -They
heard shooting to the rear
and two figures raced down the
trail. ... Sgt. Wallace Swanson
of Hinckley, Minn., decided to
take out the Interference him
self, with two assistants, while
the other three took the second
runner. . . . That's just what they
did, with no worries about
roughing penalties, and the sec
cond trio collared an extreme
ly scared Jap. . . . Just then
Swanson and his buddies heard
an outraged: "What the hell are
you guys doing?" so they re
leased their victim a member
of the party they were supposed
xo protect. -

Hurt in uriTing uonteti
Nelson's back was injured
about two weeks ago In a driv
ing contest preceding the Vic
tory Open in Chicago. He went
on to win that event, and in
the PGA concluded here yester
day he played 204 holes in
seven days. x
Each night during the tour
ney Nelson underwent heat,
massage and osteopath treat
ments to prepare for the next
day's round, and despite the
injury he scored 48 birdies and
two eagles, went over par only
119 times and finished 37 under
par for 204 holes. That per
formance earned him the title,
$5000 in war bonds, a huge
silver cup and assorted trinkets.
Byrd, the former Yankee
baseballer who gave up the dia
mond for the links in 1936. had
39 birdies and one eagle in
his 197 holes of tourney play,
but skidded over on 27 holes
to finish 14 under even figures.
Byrd Holds Lead
The 38-year-old Byrd, in the
tourney finals for the first time,
appeared ready to sweep Nelson
out of the way as he wound
up the morning round with
four straight birdies to take a
two-up lead at lunch time.
Byrd toured the first 18 In
67 strokes, five under par, while
Nelson was using up 69, but
Nelson, apoearing In the finals
for the fifth time in the last
six PGA classics, didn't appear
perturbed.
"Sam was pretty tough out
there this morning, wasn't he!"
Nelson asked at lunch. "But I
'figure I should be even now in
stead of two down."
Lead Erased
Byrd hiked his lead to three
on the 21st as Nelson muffed a
four foot putt, but then Byrd's
game began to fall apart He
lost to Nelson's birdie on the
22nd, and skidded over par on
both the 25th and 26th to hit
the final turn all even, his once
commanding lead erased.
With Bvrd's putter cooled off.
Nelson romped to win the 29th,
30th. 31st and 3Zna m a row,
and halved the next in par
three despite a tee shot which
soared over the green into the
gallery to close out the match.
The victory was Nelson's
ninth tourney win in a row, a
winning streak never before at
tained by any golfer. ...

me a world champion again."
Zivic exnlained that he has
