WIN tnat lndlan spring 1uggernaut
overriding Chevy Chase in the four
contests played. But the rub comes
right there. Only two clubs had suf-'
ficient strength in the low handicap
brackets to put first teams in the field.
The others preferred to put second
and third teams in the list, and
judged from the way the contests In
these classes have worked out, they
may as well toss out the first team
matches altogether or else change the
handicap limits.
AS the matter now stands, with only
one more match to be played, Colum-
bia is a bare half-point on top in
second team matches with 381a points,
while Congressional and Army Navy
have won 38 points That second
team contest is anybody's tournament,
and it may well run right down to
the last putt on the final green next
Tuesday. The contest among third
teams isn't as close. but that also will
not be decided until the final day.
Congressional is the third team leader
with 81 points. with Indian Spring
next at 30!a. lr> -.
First team contests are over. In
dian Spring has piled up "a points
IN four matches, against ~ for Chevy
Chase, which makes ii mathematically
impossible for Chevy Chase to over
take the leaders, so they've called of
the last match. But you can bet
your bottom dollar that some reshuf-
fling of the, team situation will come
about next winter, and maybe some
handicap restrictions will be lifted so
that there will be more than two first
teams in the field.
Champs in Low Flights.
Can you imagine tournament in
which Club Champion Howard l..
Smith qualified in the second fight
and former Club Champ Parker Nolan
in the fourth fight? That's what is
going on at Congressional in the hand
leap affair for the Presidents trophy,
presented to the club by Theodore S.
Grape, prexy Of the big organization on
River road
They qualified with handicaps,
which Is the reason such good
golfers as Smith and Nolan are
in the lower fights.
