DC. Woman Golfers
Adopt New Rules
For Team Play
Full Schedule PIunned
This Year; New Leaders
To Be Announced
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

With the feminine city champions
ship tournament definitely sched-
uled for the Columbia Country Club
course late in June, Washington
women golfers today scanned
heavier team match schedule than
they have had in many years, as
the Executive Committee of the
Womens District Golf Association
prepares at meeting later this
month to 60 over an extensive tour.
ney list.
Recommendations of Mrs. Noble J.
Waldron, who retired a month ago
as District team captain, stand
adopted today practically in their
entirety for the coming team COM
petition among the women this year.
Adopted at meeting at Columbia
yesterday of Is team captains and
delegates from all the clubs, with
Mrs. Theodore Peyser of Woodmont
presiding, the new team regulations
provide that any club, to have Sec
ond and third teams in the field,
also must have a first team of 10.
OF the association, explained that
the team of 10 will necessarily be the
best 10 players in the club, and that
because of the large number on each
first team any preponderance of
stars in the upper brackets may be
overcome by those on the lower
rungs Of the team ladder. Second
and third teams will be composed
of six players each.
Balanced Teams Sought.
Two or three of our clubs have
outstanding players in the top posi-
tlons," Mrs. Lacey explained. I'VE
felt that by making the team Of 10
players instead of six we would elimi-
nate-at least partially-the advan-
tage OF those better players in the
upper brackets, by balancing those
| lower down. Because Of the large
number OF players on the first teams
we will be obliged to use two courses
for each first team match. You can
see that If 10 first teams are entered,
there will be 100 players. That would
be too much for one course and we
plan to split the teams up by using
two courses for each match, which
must be completed on the scheduled
day."
No Inter-City Team Change.
Mrs. Lacey also explained there
will be no change made in the COM
position of the intercity team, which
is drawn by handicaps from the 10
lowest handicap players on the Dis
trict association roster, with five al
ternates, also drawn by handicap.
The city championship tourney.
for the title now held by Marion
Brown, will 60 to Columbia in June.
but the date won't be settled until
later. Nor will the names of the new
District team captain and tourna-
ment chairman be announced until
the appointments have been o. KID
by the Executive Committee. The
team captain appointment has been
made, but will not be announced at
once. Both the Middle Atlantic and
Maryland women's championships
will be played at Washington clubs
this year, in season that looms as
the most active of all for the fair
golfers.

will keep him of the courts for
three and possibly four weeks.
He probably will be absent from
Central's first three championship
games against Anacostia, Eastern

among its most important. Whether
he will play later in the season is
problematical.
The affected muscle is in the calf

animation yesterday disclosed an in

six weeks ago in a scrimmage against

aggravated Tuesday in a practice

Colangelo intends that before Janu-

When the round-robin tourney
opens the Indians will have played
seven games, several more than any
of their rivals.
Five games already have been
played by Anacostia, of which it won
only one. None was one sided, how
ever, and although Colangelo has
one of the smallest squads among
the high schools he expects his lads
to make good showing in their first

are with Sherwood and Bethesda

Central is following course ex-
actly opposite. 1t plays only one
game before entering the series.
Coach Jack Rays plan in making
such a late start is to have his boys
fresh and full of fire during the
championship race. With most of
last years players back, a tough
preliminary schedule was not
thought necessary. Informal scrim-
images have been held with suburban
and college freshmen quints.
Last year Central played num-
