Sport: The Fighting Third
General Patton's Third Army, which looked good racing across the battlefronts of Europe, looked just as good last week on the playing fields. In Nämnberg's vast stadium, the Third Army marched away with the ETO track & field championships. Best performance of the day was Corporal Horace Mamala's 10.7 for 100 meters, a new ETO mark.
Two-gun General Patton himself, watching from the stands, stepped down from a gold laurel leaf-draped dais to kiss a corporal's hand. The recipient of this attention was muscular Corporal Brady Walker of Provo, Utah, who had just hurled a discus 142 ft. 9 in., to lead Patton's men to victory.
