Luck-and Fine Play
Aid Kenwood Women
J.
In Golf Title Tourney

There are two quarter -finallStS
in the District women's golf
championship at Woodmont to-
day who are extremely thankful
for being there and that's the
type player you have to beware
of in a match-play tournament,
the ones who get an assist from
Lady Luck or win when 1t ap-
pears they're going to lose.
Mrs. j. P. Trouchaud and Mrs.
Richard Kreuzburg. Kenwood
teammates. are in that category
and now that they're past the
first round they might have the
incentive to go on winning.
Mrs: Trouchaud didn't think
much of her chances on the 18th
tee yesterday. The Kenwood Club
titlist had been UP and z to
play against Co-Medalist Mrs.
e. c. Ferriday of Chevy Chase,
when all of a sudden she started
losing holes. Before she realized
it, the S UP lead was gone and
she was all even.
Mrs. Trouchaud Rallies.
When a player loses a big lead,
he or she rarely is in the mood to
come back. But Mrs. Trouchaud
played a delicate approach shot
to the 18th 2 feet from the cup
and won the hole with a fine par
4 and the match, / up, when Mrs.
Ferriday took S.
Mrs. Kreuzburg had her narrow
escape off the golf course. Driv-
ing home from the qualifying
round Monday, she was behind a
big truck which signaled a left
turn. When Mrs. Kreuzburg at
tempted to apply the brakes. moth
ing happened. There were none.
Fortunately, the truck made a
quick turn or Mr.. Kreuzburg would
have plowed right into it as there
was an oncoming car to the left
and a ditch to the right.
She was so glad to be alive that
golf was secondary yesterday, but
she had an SO and won the closest
match Of the day, l up, from Mrs.
Jack Smith, the club champion at
Prince Georges. Mrs. Smith was
2 up at one time.
