 Up After Hard Battle
MATCH SQUARED AT t7TH
Miss Orcutt At One Time During Play Had Her Opponent Four Down and Only Six to Go But Then Went Into Slump.

Eastern Point, Conn, July 30 Pl- Glenna Collett of Providence, na- tional woman's golf champion today won the Griswold trophy from Maureen Orcutt of Englewood, N. J., by one up after terrible uphill bat lie. Miss Collett was at one time four down and only six 10 go, due largely to poor putting. She re- covered her cunning on the greens after that point while her opponent slumped here somewhat and the match was squared at the 17th hole.
 Spectacular Finish
 It was a dramatic and spectacular finish, Miss Collett putting the last four holes with three pars and a birdie after the large gallery had mentally handed the match to the New Jersey girl.
 Miss Orcutt played pretty good golf on these final holes, but Glenna's game at this stretch would have held a male star, at least even. What made the comeback so marvellous was the fact that Miss Collett had shown no signs of brilliancy to that point.
 The turn came at the longest hole and Miss Collett's success on this 5SS-yard 18th was due to three ter rife shots that landed her on the tabled green among a network of traps. She barely got over one tip and stopped on the brink of an other, but got a birdie five. while Miss Orcutt after poor drive and a wonderful brassie was short in three and took a conceded six.
 Easy After That One
 It was easy for Glenna after that. ponent got in two traps and missed butts that had seemed easy for her up to that point.
 Miss Collett won only one hole on the out lane. although she was d trife better than Miss Orcutt up to the green. She was never up on her during that time and in fact, was never ahead until she won the 18th hole. The only hole Miss Colett won during the first nine was the 162 yard sixth. where she squar- cd the match after going one down at the third where Miss Orcutt landed a birdie.
 Miss Collett was one down again of tLo lor,c~ Soy.,,+b p,1,oro cha ,,Iav- ed the hole in four after going out Of bounds, while Maureen got birdie four.
 The champion went two down at the ninth when she got trapped and took six. She also lost the tenth by another pit. She had good chance to win the short 11th. but took three butts and by the same route lost the 18th, being four down and only six to go. It was then that she steadicd, and by one of her most flashes of golf won the contest.
