Star performers for the U. S. did not include Patty Berg but two old standbys, Glenna Collett Vare, six-time U. S. national champion, and Maureen Orcutt Crews, winner of practically every important U. S. tournament but the national. Playing in a Scotch foursome with Patty (i.e., hitting alternate shots with one ball), Mrs. Vare carried her almost all the way, brought the match to an all-even finish by holing two long putts on the 16th and 17th greens.

Mrs. Vare won only by sinking a hard putt on the 34th green...
...orange-spotted pointer, Doctor Blue Willing. The latter stayed in hand better than on two other championship occasions and, as a local sports writer put it, "he handled his birds like a Ziegfeld beauty handles a millionaire." Tips Manitoba Jake, the big, white-&-black pointer owned by Golfer Glenna Collett Vare (see p. 27), ran the next heat worthy of notice. He, too, had the morning course where birds were more plentiful, scoring six finds to four by his brace mate, Air Circus. There was pathos in the next heat.
