EVENT FOR
WEEKEND
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The club team that will repre-
sent the Argyle club in golf
matches with other local clubs re-
mains somewhat of mystery.
The 36-hole qualifications ended
last Sunday, but most of the top
players in the club either failed to
take part in the qualifications or
did not turn in cards.
This leaves the club officials in
a tough spot They can't afford
to leave these golfers off the team
without weakening their chances
against other clubs, One proml-
nent member of Argyle says the
committee would most likely name
team of the strongest players in
the club, including those who did
we'll in the qualifications.

and 7, marked up five brides
