Byron Nelson are wearing bunions
on hands and heels as they play the
sixth round for the title, but the
women around the National Capital
have little national open of their
own coming up tomorrow.
Not in years has there been so
much interest in the team matches
as there is this year in the final
round of the series for the first
team championship. The second
and third team titles have been de-
clded, but the first-team crown
hangs in the balance tomorrow in a
match to be played over the neutral
Army-Navy Country Club course be-
tween Indian Spring, the defending
champions. and Chevy Chase, whom
they licked last year, but who this
year are pushing them to the limit
Away back last winter, when the
Schedule Committee got together
they foreSaW a probability that In
dian Spring and Chevy Chase would
be the strongest outfits. They have
proven themselves to be just that
and tomorroWs match-the final of
the series-finds Chevy Chase, lead
ing by 2 points, clashing with Indian
Spring. The championship lies be-
tween these two, for it isn't possible
that Manor, in third place, can
catch the leaders.
Both top teams have named their
strongest lineups for the, decisive
match OF the season. Mrs. Bishop
Hill, Chevy Chase champ, will come
down from her summer home at
Shawnee, but Chevy Chase will be
without the skillful game of Eliza
beth Houghton, who has played lit
tie golf this veal. Here is the way
the teams will line up tomorrow
