Roosevelt Leads for Dawes Gun.
Roosevelt High Schools golf war
riors top the Dawes Cup parade to-
day. with two matches won and none
lost, but they'll have q hard time
overtaking the fast-traveline Tech
High lads, who have played five
contests and dropped only one. The
Gruver-captained outfit from the
Thirteenth street school licked
Wilson yesterday. 6 to 8, at Wood
mont, while Tech kept up its win
ming streak by trouncing Central at
Washington by 6 to 8. Wilson,
without Bogart and Skinker, hasn't
lived up to its carry season promise.
Rockville High, with Scotty Ross
playing No. l. grabbed a close match
from George Washington High Of
Alexandria at Belle Haven, winning
S to 4 from the Virginia boys, while
Tommy Ray Of Rockville won on the
10th hole. Rockville now has won
two straight matches.
Indian Spring Women victors.
Indian Springs championship
first women's golf team today tops
the feminine links league, but the
tale Of how 1t happened is q long
one. 1t goes back to q decision of
only few hours ago by Beaver Dam
not to continue In any Of the team
contests. The women in charge Of
the team matches met and decided
to throw out all the points scored
against Beaver Dam by the teams
that had played the women from the
Landover club. Some Of them had
been up in the forefront of the
standings, but with these points
taken from them they dropped lower
down.
And when Indian Spring, headed
by steady Betty Meckley, licked
Woodmont yesterday by score Of
on to ~ they moved smack into
first place. just as they finished last
year. Now 1t will be hard to dis
place the champions. They look to
be strictly the class Of the first
women's teams.
