If Colum- the match against Indian g the Colymbja team will be as od as “in,” for on past performances Kenwood has not shown enough strength to whip Columbia, whom it meets in the final mateh of the sched- ule on July 18 at Indian Spring.- Of course, the Indian Spring team, with a strong line-up headed by Mrs. Betty | P.

With a 54-hole total of 222 strokes, Hitz entered the final round today 13 strokes in front of C Ashmead Fuller, who was in second place at 235. Richard P. Davidson, the 1931 champion, wes third at 236, too far | back to hope to catch Hitz. The leader, who is a son of Ju Hitz, added a 77 yesterday to his and 72 of the two previous days, whilc ~uller scored an 83. A brisk wind added to the difficulty of seoring. Davidson cored & 78.

As the team contests now stand Co-| lumbia leads with seven victories and no losses. Chevy Chase is second with six wins and one loss and Congrl‘s-‘ sional, winners of the title last year,| is third with five wins, one loss and two ties, So if Columbia can eke out a victory over Indian Spring on July | 6 there is little doubt the Columbia | team is “in.” The Kenwood team is hardly strong enough to whip Columbia in the final match of the year on July 18. In addition, the Columbia second team is in the lead in the com- petition for second teams. It looks like a Columbia season among the woman stars of the bunkered realm around shington. NLESS Henry D, Nicholson, the | present club title holder, returns to the club before the champion- | ship tourney starts next October, the Washington Golf and Country Club is due to have a new champion this year.
