A week ago Saturday, NOdh Lucas topped the field in class B" to win the Columbus Day tournament at Shuttle Meadow. He scored so well that day that the committee cut his handicap. Last Saturday MT. Lucas celebrated his admission to the class "A" golfers by shooting an so, nine holes Of which won him first place in the days event It was a best selected nine in IS. with three quarters of the players handicap applying,
 l. is not often that a player at the local club bags two first prizes in succession but Lucas turned the trick. It is infrequent that a re- duCed handicap spurs a player on to shoot under it at the first try but this the first trial of new clubs is not often conducive to low scoring but the banker used a brassie and a driver, which he had just purchased from Val Flood. to perfection, Sat urday.
 ollLf lillS past ouIII4I4Ni 4Ncdll pllol 7S, much to his own surprise and the dismay of his opponents. It was quite his best golfing effort but even then he did not break 40 on the low CT nine Saturday he had the satis- faction of scoring 39, two over par, going out
 There was more than personal qualification on MT. Lucas round. With him were Bob Parsons, George Rogers, and Frank Shield playing against foursome composed of Charlie Davis, Pat King, Tom Lindcr and Clarence Barnes. This outfit was also going strong. Barnes shot 3S on the lower and on the Sth, where he went one over par, King contributed a par five. Then Linder helped mat tcrs along with birdie two on the ninth.
 But, as it afterWard appeared, this was only good enough to tie Lucas ct al. After the upper nine was play cd and the cards matched, it was found that a birdie four shot by Davis on the 18th hole, a chance missed by Lucas, won the match with a best ball of T.
 Getting back from the side issues of a beautiful golfing day. the scoreboard showed Barnes had shot 79 and had posted five 3's, 2 and three 4's for selected nine of 29. It was net as it stood, as his handi- cap was too low to receive any as- sistanCe from strokes. That stared Lucas in the face but his new handi- cap turned two of his four 4s into i IS and transformed one of his five 3s into q 10 give him a net 2S. So ! he rclegated Barnes to second place. Two popular players in class 'B" took the prizes in their division. Clayton Parker scored q net 28 for first place and Ted McAulffe man agcr of the local office of the South crn New England Telephone com pany hcd net % for second place.
