- OMETHING is going to be done
next year about defaulted
matches in the inter-club team
~ contests between the women,
now drawing to a close. 1t all comes
about, because Chevy Chase, which
leads in the first-team matches, has
drawn q flock of defaulted points
during the season, among them six
points In its contest against Indian
Spring yesterday, which Chevy Chase
won by IL to 1. The verdict might
have been the same anyhow, but the
defaults didn't sit well with the other
contestants.
Congressional. which has been en-
gagged in hot fight with Chevy Chase
for two months, won III points from
my-Navy, and Is points behind
with one match remaining to be
played. Manor licked Kenwood, 101a
to ia; Beaver Dam defeated Wood
mont, to 3, and Columbia won all
IL points from washington.
The women today were continuing
their schedule with a team contest
against Richmond outfit at the Ken
wood Golf and Country Club. They
will play at Chevy Chase tomorrow.
