INTERESTING GOLF NOTES

depended or to uphold local honors in
the home and home matches. Chevy

terdaE just about putting that club out
of the running, for, with but two more
matches to play. it is next to impossible
for the Chevy Chase team to win out.
Columbias squirt from fifth to tie for
first place which came during the last
two weeks was certainly well timed one
and is furnishing food for lots of thought
for those who are doping" out a Column
bia victory. This club plays but two
more matches. receiving Bannockburn on
its links and visiting Chevy Chase. 1t is
almost sure to win the former match and
has an excellent chance of taking the
latter. Should it take both matches, it
will, Of course, at least draw tie. The
Country Club of Virginia was scheduled
to play al Hermitage yesterday and it is
quite likely that it played two matches,
as 1t obtained permission from the board
of directors to double up and play off the
match scheduled for October ID. On the
results of these matches everything de-
ponds. for if the Country Club team lost
one or both of these matches it gives Co.
no more matches scheduled, and Columbia
should have very little trouble in keeping
ahead Of the others. All but one match

tended to two or three days. This easily
can be done il a sufficient number OF
chess players will interest themselves
in the work to the extent of becoming
members Of the association. 1t is plan
