Not that she doesn’t some- times let the game get to her, though.

“E enjoy it but if I do it too often 1 get fed up with it. Pil suddenly say ‘I'm not going to play fora week,” but everybody just laughs at me.”

She said she’s all talk.

Usually she'll get a number

, of calls during the week to step

in for ailing players, which she does quite happily.

“The last time I took a week off I ended up playing more than (I usually do),” she

Mardon also makes’ fre- quent sojourns down south to play in tourncys in Washington State and Oregon.

She’s part of a Pacific Northwest contingent thar regularly dees battle. with groups of players from other regions of the U.S.

“We're older but we still make each other run. They're sneakier at that age,”

laughed. “Crafty.”
