A fine, fat trout and it's time to and wrapped leggings had only started. On that day, Christmas, 1945 I wrote. I was as homesick as any young soldier in a lonely outpost with the threat of battle about him. I pictured my own hearthside, my wife and the others about the happy tree, my own tinseled packages unopened and my empty hands reaching out for them vainly over the oceans too wide to span. Everywhere I looked that cold, damp day I saw, not war, but something more tragically eloquent stunned, cramped souls in pinched bodies, hurrying amidst the wreckage of-city which had seen the blossoming of art anci handicraft in stone and canvas and parchment which had enriched the world for centuries Now 1945 what is Nuernberg?

There was, indeed, much to be thankful for and much to be hopeful about on Christmas, 1946 Then came Christmas, 1947! I was far away from fields whit- oned with snow. No bright red of the holly berry. Instead, the burnfeathing hibiscus and beyond it the ery tops of the Royal palms The day started not with the creak of shoes over the frozen snow or a wind which "checked mid-veito the the circling race of sharpening face, but with the soft lap of water against the prow of our little boat which lulled me to lazy reminiscence. We slipped along the river and into the inlet. High above coursed a flock of graceful, r frigate birds To see them so far inland, said my nature-wis- e meant a rough companion, ocean.

The aftermath of that collapse is still with us and the path which the nations have trod since has led us to an "uncertain peace at best. On Christmas eve a year ago the pope, delivering his annual message from the Vatican, spoke of a shivering and feverish Europe from economic difficulties and social chaos He talked about "the The deliberate lie, he said Le sadly had become an established weapon of international relations The lie of garbled word or fact, part and parcel of the modern technique m the art of forming public opinion or controlling it and of making it serve the political ends of those bent on winning at any cost the battle of ideologies. ChristThat was a mas for all the world (despite my selfish pleasures and perhaps yours, too) but, if the past year has not greatly changed that picture, it has changed it a little for the better. I has given us some satisfaction to know that one idealistic concept has materialized We have successfully prevented the spread of the powers against which the Christian world has been struggling. The Marshall plan, so far, has been a success. Between last Christmas and this we saw Russia's coid war offensive stopped. Stopped at the Adr.atic, stopped along the Seme, stopped m the low countries. Within that time the theory of an economic campaign moved from an idea to a blueprint, to the active and effective European cooperation administration, an efficient business organization headed b an efficient businessman, Paul Hoffman. .

He has one of the best heads golf has ever known, not even barring Walter Hagen, one of the smartest of them all. You can ask Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones what they think of his competitive ability or his willingness to outwork a horse. In my opinion, Ben Hogan combines more of the factors that make a great golfer than anyone I have ever seen play in the last 30 years on back to Vardon through to Jones, Hagen and Sarazen. At 137 pound. Ben Isn't equipped physically as well as they were, but he ha always been long enough able to hit a green with two shots. This statement is completely true. No one can say that from 1920 to could have beaten 1930 Hogan Jones, Hagen and Sarazen. Certainly no one can say that Jones, Hagen and Sarazen could have handled Ben Hogan from 1944 through perhaps conditions have changed forces in China. 4 INVEST. OPPOR.

Not too much, but enough to get him into trouble at times. A hook can nearly always get you Into more trouble than a slice. It travels farther. So this last season, Hogan decided to give away a few yards and play for a slight fade, rather than a hook. You can control a fade. No one can control a hook steadily. From that point on, Texas Ben became unbeatable. Now and then he would drop a tournament against a band of brilliant scorers. Someone would get unusually hot, or Ben would have a slight lapse ir concentration or determination oi timing. No one can keep at the peak physically, mentally and emotionally all the time. Theyll tell you fooball teams cant even do this three times a season. But Hogan plays in 30 or more big tournaments.

"Then watch Ben m putting. One if the biggest mistakes most niters make is letting the body or nees move through the action of '.he putt Not Hogan Ben locks his odv and knees before his hands start the putter blade in motion. He turns over the physical action of the putt to his hands. He has already decided on the correct line and the speed of the green. These two details are all set. So, for a final move all h' has to concentrate on Is the smoothness of the swing, which is rarely hurried or turned Into a Jab or a stab.
