Champions in the Making – Judy Karp, daughter of MR. and Mrs. Lou Karp, at 8 years of age, has the makings of a golf champion.

She is rated by golf professionals as the best girl prospect for the year. Judy will defend her championship at Presidio Hills at the tournament to be held about Sept. 10.
