 The Atlantic schoolgirl also reached the quarter-flnals of the 1941 Trans-Mississippi tournament at Houston, Tex. Her conuueror there was Marion Miley, Lexing- ton, Ky, who lost in the final to Mrs, Lucille Robinson Mann, Omaha.
 Mrs. Mann and Miss Otto. rep- resenting the Omaha Field club, captured the Howell trophy as the two low tournament uualifiers from one club.
 Phyllis, who had reached the 1940 Trans-Mississippi mi-finals. was described by Mrs. Mann as certain to be one of the nations top flight women golfers in sev- eral years.
