Billy La Bille and Mel Tallant of Mount Rainier were high in dou- bles for the Washington contestants, with 772.

Ida Wein- berg and Thelma Robinson placed ninth with 702, while Beth Minson and Doris Goodall of the Washing- ton Arcadia team tied for thirteenth in the women'’s doubles with 695. A couple of Virginia youngsters grabbed the spotlight when Leslie Carper of Winchester won the Junior national championship with 413, and Al Jennings of Petersburg, who had shot 408 in the singles championship division, fairly sizzled to win the boys’ title with 415.
