of Columbia Golf Associa-
ton.
A committee appointed at the an
nual meeting of the District organi-
zation last February has looked the
situation over, gone into the matter
of resumption of team contests in a
league around Washington and has
reported adversely to the District as
ISOLATION, which has accepted the re-
port.
The committee was composed Of
Dallas McGrew of Burning Tree,
chairman; Robert Stead, jr., Chevy
Chase; Albert R. Mackenzie and DR..
Paul NJ Stewart, Columbia, and Albert
e. Steinem, Woodmont.
But if the District association isn't
going to start something along the
team match line, there1l be lots of
informal and formal team matches
played this year.
The Maryland State Golf Associa-
ton is going ahead with its Spring
team schedule of handicap matches,
with Chevy Chase, Manor and Beaver
Dam slated to be among the COM
peting local clubs. Informal matches
are being listed by several of the clubs
around Washington, among them
Army-Navy, Argyle, Beaver Dam and
Manor.
To top off the team match busi-
ness, it looks as if the Middle At
lantic Golf Association may re-
sumo, in an experimental way, the
contests that were held for many
years by that organization and were
abandoned in 1922. Officers of the
mid-Atlantic association are going to
Richmond in few days to confer
with officials of two Richmond clubs
which have offered their courses for
matches this year.
The Country Club of Virginia and
the Hermitage Country Club are
anxious to have the initial contests
played on their courses. For two
years the team from the Country
Club has cleaned up all opposition
in this territory and they're ready
and willing to extend their conquests
further to include the entire Middle
Atlantic sector.
Bobby Cruickshank and Fred Nc
Leod, two Of the veteran pros in this
territory, won't be among the en-
trants in the P. G. A. qualifying
rounds at Indian Spring on April %.
Cruickshank, pro at the Country Club
Of Virginia, and one of the nations
outstanding players Che tied for the
open championship in 1929 wires
that he will not be able to play
health, has decided not to enter.

wv threshold Of big competitive
season, have organized three teams

tercity contests this year. Each team
