Denver, Colo, Feb. ., 1920.
My dear Mrs. Friedenthal:
have read with keen interest your
editorial announcement of the 2Sth
ult. concerning the Prize Essay Con-
test for high-schOol students on the
subject. what education must / have
and how must / live TO reach the
ideals of my Jewish faith and my
American citizenship" You are to be
commended for tile capital manner in
which the contest is introduced and
for the ethical and cultural topic you
selected. Your efforts are indeed
worthy the support of every thinking
Jew and of every loyal Jewish home
i'll the community.
The Curse of the Minimum has
beset US not only in the industrial
life of the nation but also in our edu
cational anl moral and religious life.
The cataclysm of war has degraded
civilization standards are everywhere
lowered. Our youth are oaly too prone
to follow the lead of their elders in
the paths Of least resistance. An in
tcllectual stimulus for them at this
time is u capital tonic. Assuredly, in
this unparalleled transition period of
society there is need at the parting
of the ways for moral thought-taking
and for moral guidance.
The other day 1 put before several
classes of senior high-school students

Jewish youth was nothing short of dis

ish. 1t was indeed a lamentable rev.
nlation. A sad reflection on the
status of the Children of the People
Of the Book!
Yet to me it was no great surprise.
The signs of the times have pointed to
;ust such conditions. On the one hand
we have had the Snug complacency of
our conservatives enmeshed in gone to
seed methods and dogmas of religious
confronted by the stark indifference of
our liberals that has consigned to
desuetude the best of our culture. And
all shades of responsibility and
neglect are to be found in the twilight
zones between these poles.
The platitudinous observation will
bear repetition that our people attempt
to outdo Gentle neighbors in every
thing save that which fundamentally
pertains to Jewish life and Jewish
thought. Let me take but one in
stance for purpose of illustration.

Enter N. Y. A. C.. Games

Two more athletic stars from the
West, Carl Johnson, the remarkable all
round athlete of the University of
Michigan, and John Murphy, Notre
Dame University, will exhibit their
ability at the games of the New York
Athletic Club, which are scheduled in
the 22d Regiment Armory next Satur-
day evening. In addition to these lumi-
naries the spectators will see in action
all the champions who he1ped to make
athletic history at the recent Millrose
A. A. and Boston A. A. games.
AS in former years, the Mercury
Foot organization will have an attrac-
tive program Of events. The "Buer-
meyer 800" and the Baxter Mile" will
find fields of stars in these specialties,
while Earl Thomson, still the fleet hur'
dler of old, will match strides with the
best over the obstacles. The college
representation for the games will al
most equal that of the club men. The
proceeds will 60 toward fund for the
erection of memorial at Travers

Stecller andI.ondos
Will Demonstrate
Opposite Methods

When Joe Stecher, the worlds
wrestling champion, and Jim Londos,
the Greek title holder, clash on the
mat Friday night at the list Regiment
Armory the spectators will witness a
demonstration of two opposite systems.
Stecher is cool, deliberate grappler,
who depends upon steady pressure to
wear down his rival. Londos is a fiery
tempered wrestler. who never stops
going after his made and tries to wear
him down.
Stecher and London are the most
popular grapplers that have performed
in New York this season. When
Stecher won the worlds title from Earl
Caddock he showed he was the great
est grappler produced in this country
in years. His spectacular victory over
William Demetral stamped Londos as a
game wrestler
Londos was stirred to challenge
Stecher after witnessing the victory Of
the champion over Caddock. Londos
contends Caddock's "gassing" in France
caused his defeat more than Stecher's
po~erful legs.
One fall will decide the coming
match. This method has become so
popular that 1t will prevail in cham
pionship contests hereafter. In case
no fall Is obtained the patrons will re-
ceive their money back.

Big Sports Program
For Penn State Feb. Fl

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Feb. a.
Washington's Birthday anniversary
will bring another big sports program
to the campus at Penn State. On
Saturday afternoon the Cornell wrest-
ling team will oppose the State matmen
here, and in the evening the first bas-
ketball tilt with the University Of
Pittsburgh will be staged. Track men
will also appear in the Junior A. A. U.
championships at Buffalo on Saturday.
Cornell always brings strong
wrestling team to Penn State, and
from all reports, this years represen-
tation will be no exception to the rule.
The big Red wrestlers formerly held
a monopoly of the intercollegiate
championships until Penn State
usurped the throne two years ago.
However, State is not yet looking for
a third annexation of the belt, being
content to devote all attention to the
immediate contests on the schedule,
Penn, Navy, Lehigh and Princeton fol-
low the Cornell meet in succession.

PINEHURST, N. c., Feb. t4.-Harry
Vardons approaching visit to this
country has aroused great interest
among the golf crowd at Pinehurst,
and there is a surprising number Of
persons to be met at the Country Club
who were on deck when Nardon in
vaded Pinehurst in 1900 and broke all
records to smithereens by going over
the course Of the day in II.
George c. Dutton held the amateur
record at that time by virtue of an 81
made in the season of 199S-'99 This
round was the occasion of the award
of the first cup ever presented as
golf prize at Pinehurst, and the
trophy has long held an honored place
in a niche of its own at the club
house. Dutton played with Vardon
II and has an attested card of the
round-33 out and SO in.
The aggregate length Of the first
nine holes was about 600 yards less at
that time than it is now, but there
was only a difference of 100 yards for
the inward journey.
1t must be borne in mind that Var
don's II WAS made with the solid gutta
percha balls of twenty years ago, ard
that playing with the balls supplied to
this more fortunate generation is
something else again. Four of these
nineteenth century balls were discov-
cred by some antiquarian at Pinehurst
the other day, and medal round was
promptly staged for purposes or CONF
parison.
Prestley Maclaughlin won with %
and was followed by j. R. Bowker, of
The Woodland Club, at 100, and Stuart
II. Patterson, of Plainheld, at 1O1. ].

fourth member of the quartet. had to
quit at the third hole because he lost
his ball.
