...team, the Chevy Chase Club, the Columbia Country Club and the Washington Golf and Country Club decided that none of them could any longer put together a "B" team for interclub matches. Though the clubs deny it, the word around Washington is that some of their members do not relish the possibility of having to play on the same court with Mrs. Rowan, who happens to be a Negro.
