Women golfers at Army Navy
Country Club are celebrating
a triple triumph in the Wom-
ems District Golf Associations s
team play today, with most of
the excitement in the cham
pionship division, where the
service club Sextet accomplished
an outstanding rally to de-
throne Argyle.
Army Navy also won the
third and fourth division.
Belle Haven won the second
and Columbia the sixth divi-
sion. The fifth division matches
were postponed because of wa
ter on the Belle Haven course.
The champion there will be
Columbia, or Belle Haven, which
draws bye and can back in
If Columbia wins less than five
points. All divisions except the
first were played with handi-
caps.
The Army Navy team blanked
Congressional, 90, in the first
division play, but it could not
have won without an assist
from Chevy Chase, which upset
Argyle, 512-312.
Takes Second Place
Chevy Chase could have won
the title with another point in
the last bracket, but with two
Of three points there moved
into second place. Army Navy
won with 38l2 points to 38 for
Chevy Chase and STA for the
favored Argyle team.
The Army Navy lineup was
the same each week, Mrs. c.
P. Phoebus and Mrs. N. l.
Looney in the first bracket.
Mrs. E. w. King and Mrs, Jess
Nettles in the second, and Mrs.
w. S. Stewart and Mrs. F. N.
Phillips in the third. The girls
kept plugging even after last
weeks 6E2-2h defeat by Ar
gyle.
Argyle did not win a single
bracket from the inspired
Chevy Chase team. Mrs. Ed
ward c. Ferriday, jr., and Mrs.
Paul H. STREET. of Chevy Chase
held Mrs. Frank Cush and
Georgia Mae McKeever, the
respective Maryland and Dis
trict champions, even, with Ia
points for each team.

Dorothy Omolecki, and Mrs. w.
S. Parsons and Mrs. Charles B.
Hawley, jr., won. 2-1, over Mrs.
Wilson Howard and Mrs. R.
c. Townsend.
Needed Sweep and Assist
Army Navy needed a sweep
over Congressional, something
no other team had accom-
plished, and a narrow margin
for Chevy Chase over Argyle.
1t received both. The new
champions. who won the first
team cup for the first time
since it was put in play in
1881, posted their 90 triumph
while the Argyle-Chev Chase
match was still on the course.
Each tie or victory for the
Chevy Chase team boosted
Army Navy's hopes. 1t sud-
denly appeared that Chevy
Chase was winning too many
points and could take it all
with three points in the last
bracket.
Inc laSt-place indian Spring
team was consoled by holding
Columbia to a 4la-4la tie. In
the first bracket Mrs. William
Weitzen and Mrs. Paul Cos
tello, seven down at the turn,
halved the back nine point with
Mrs. Richard Kreuzburg and
Mrs. John Kerkam. Then Mrs.
