Reinhart (nee Elaine Rosenthal), of Hubbard Woods, Ill., discussed with her husband, "Spider" Reinhart, onetime Yale end, the ups, downs, ins and outs whereby she had successfully defended her Women's Western Golf Championship, through rain and wind, against a field of 81, including the redoubtable Mrs. Lee Mida of Chicago...
