Students to Give
Christmas Play
Do Entire Work of Production
Choose Characters and Ap-
point Committees at
Recent Meeting

~A& NASNA"6
In order to raise funds with
which to pay a deficit from last
year and to resume publication of
the Grammar School News, the
pupils of the Eighth Grade have
determined to produce a Christ
mas play. The entire work of
dramatization,> preparation and
production will be managed by
the students. From a number of
stories and poems which were
read to them they chose "The
First Christmas" from Ben Hur
as having unusual dramatic pos
sibiities and then proceeded to
appoint the various committees to
handle all details of the produc-
ton.
They determined after much
discussion to make lit a school and
community affair. The church
choirs, the Glee Club, and others
will be asked to help with the
singing of carols between the
acts; DR.. Walt H. Steel, president
of the Board of Education, will be
asked to give the prologue, and
other features of a community ma
ture will be provided.
The production is under the
general supervision of Miss Bea-
trice Naylor, one of the college
students working under the direc-
tion of. Miss Madeline Raby, in
structor for the Eighth Grade.
The cast of characters and the
committees follow:

LONG ISLAND DUE
FOR TITLE GOLF
Two Championships Likely to
Be Played There Next
Year.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

From this distance and viewpoint II
looks as II Long Island will be an
especially favored corner on the metro
politan district in a golfing way the COM
ing season and that no less than two OF
the three local title tournaments will be
staged somewhere between Flatbush and
Montauk Point, the Sound and the At
lantic Ocean. The two events that
SCENE dto be assured for this section are
the amateur and the women's, while on
the other hand the NJ. G.. A. open cham
pionship would appear to be headed for
New Jersey.
Although there Is no hard and fast
rule governing allotment OF the meets
both the women's and the mems metro
politan associations try their best 10
rotate their title events among the three
chief terrlttores--Long Island. New Jer-
sey and Westchester. Once in a while
however. the meetings appear to work
together despite the best efforts of the
officials Of these two organizations. This
year. for instance. Westchester. or that
territory which for the purposes of the
NJ. G. A. IS called Westchester, had the
unusual distinction of holding all three
of the stellar events of the local golfing
season. Greenwich getting the women s
and open and Apawamis, right in the
same territory. the amateur.
What leads one to believe that II Is
Long Islands turn for two OF the three
banner events Is that New Jersey was
looked after in the women's and amateur
Journeys in 1919. while Long Island has
not held either since title play was sus-
pended on account of the war. AS re-
CARDS the open the position is slightly
different, for while II is true that this
event was decided the last season at
Greenwich. the North Shore Country
Club staged the meeting on behalf OF
Long Island in 1919.

the Belgians held their own tor two
miles and then gradually made up the
remaining ground. While the sprint

element. Spectators in the galleries
and pit threw their hats In the air and
yelled themselves hcarse.
Just after the lap had been gained
Brocco. H. Suter and Bologna fell. and
the tenth official sprint was postponed
for a few minutes When the tenth
sprint was finally decided Egg ran away
from his opponents. But because he Is a
lap behind Coburn and Brocco and Per-
syn and Debaets he received only third
place points.
At the end Of the session Brocco and
Coburn were leading in the point score
with 81 points. Egg and MCNAMARA
were second with rs. and Bedell and
Thomas third. with 35. Then followed
the great sprinting by Brocco and Co

Lido In the Running.

To put ones finger on the names OF
the clubs that will hold the various
tournaments is a much more difficult
task than merely dec ding where they
belong sectionally Lido has been promi-
nently before the public as likely to hold
the amateur championship ever since me
club at Long Beach gave its first in
vitation tournament, but whether this
organization will be in a position to hold
the event Is doubtful. That the course
is In every way fitted to take mashIe
and iron stabs of championship field
no one will deny, save perhaps the few
who have dallied too long In the Lido
rough.
Should the Lido Beach Club dec de
that II will not be In position TO ac-
cept the honor this year there is every
reason to believe that Garden City will
be the next choice. for despite the fact
that this was a celebrated circuit long
before many of the present generation
began to figure in tournament play. 1t
still ranks as one of the best golf courses
in the country.
What choice the women will make is
not clear, but IL they really are of a
mind to go over Long Island way they
will find many su table and interesting
courses. with Nassau and Cherry Valley
standing out as possibly the most logical
last there on national championship busi-
ness in 1914 the Nassau round has
been greatly heightened. Still they d d
not hesitate to take on Piping Rock for
their 1917 title tourney.
Should they select Cherry Valley the
women Will find a very interesting
course, with fine greens and magnificent
turf. Moreover, IL the should hit a dry
spell the long game will prove much
more enjoyable than II they should
fasten upon some other course of a
more inland nature.
New Jersey is so rich in golf courses
that { should not be difficult to pick a
suitable one. provided the open is to be
sent to that territory. In Hollywood the
Jerseyites have one of the finest golflng
stretches In the country, fit for the best
field that ever gathered on championship
business. However, 1t has been whis-
pered that Hollywood Is not anxious
even to stage the national title meet,
and, that being so. IL is scarcely con-
celvable that 1t will care to tackle the
metropolitan unless It would prefer to
have a tournament Of class with a some
what smaller field and gallery than
would be attracted to the national event.
Down in the same district there are
also Deal and Spring Lake, and n little
nearer home such fine courses as En-
zlewood, Baltusrol, Arcola. Canoe Brook,
Essex County and Montclair, to mention
only a few. Then there are Atlantic
City and Lakewood, both with remod-
elled circuits. Lakewood scarcely will
