New York, Sept. 30 P1-The de- feat Of Miss Glenna Collett, twice women's national golf champion and the defending titleholder. provides an addition to the already unpre- cedented roll of conquered cham pions this season.
 It also marks the downfall of the sixth defending golf titleholder, here and in Great Britain, for 1926. These reverses have come in the open, amateur and women's title events of the two leading golflng na- tions. Walter Hagen and P. G. A. King alone escaped the debacle.
 Miss Collett, one of the best all- around women stars ever developed in this country, first won the na- tional title in 1922 and repeated last year. She also has won such important journeys as the Canadian ladies open, North and South and Eastern women's championships, demonstrating remarkable medal scoring as well as match playing ability. She Is 23 years old and a member of the Rhode Island Country club, Providence.
 In two foreign invasions, Miss Col lett was defeated In 1925 by Miss Hoyce Wethered, then British wom- ems champion, but lifted the French women's title this year. The
