Argyle Women
Drawing Bead
On Fourth Title

The anticipated tight six-team
scrap for the first division title in
the Women's District Golf Asso-
citation team play may not be so
tight after all.
Argyle's champions of the last
three years met their first serious
challenge yesterday, and while
all the matches were close. the
defending titlists won over Ken
wood, 6-3. They've had a habit
of winning the close matches
since taking over three years ago.
The actual standings in any
of the divisions mean little mas
much as the hosts draw a bye
each week.
In fact, if Argyle beats Army
Navy in next Tuesdays matches
at Columbia, the race could be
about over with the schedule
only half completed. Army
Navy now appears to be Argyle's
most serious challenger.
The Service Club team de-
feated Columbia, 5-4, yesterday
