The golfer in question is Clar-

third ace over his home course.
His tee shot on the short third
hole, 1O3 yards in length, dropped
into the cup.
Previously, Coff had gathered

They'll be wrong as usual, espe-
cially the newspaper men, who

right.
But to look at the very near
future, which pictures a whale
of a game next Tuesday between
Eastern and Tech. Will every

Eastern win, that team will be
the champion?
Tech has won three games in as
many starts, true. But Eastern,
with it's now 1000 per cent record
of two wins in two starts, could
cop the title by defeating Tech,
because its percentage mark
would be higher than Techs

found in the Building Contractors

game out Of IS. With IA teams
in the hope, 8 Of them are better
than even steven.
These leagues are picked up at
random. The @me condition is
prevalent everywhere. That ac-
counts in no small measure for
the fact that despite the unem-
ployment conditions bowling Is
actually better than last year.
This Is not saying that un-
employment isn't exerting .

q statement would be untrue.
Unemployment is causing con-
siderable damage to profits and
1t is particularly hard on neigh
borhood plants, where even the
most rabid and regular fans are
limiting themselves to the abSo-
lutte minimum number OF games.
Last year the floor men used
to moan because of the long hours
they had to put in, some bowlers
sticking around alleys until the
wee hours of the morning. It is
seldom that neighborhood bowl
ing emporiums have customers
after IL o'clock nowadays. And
the late trade in the more cen.
trally located establishments is
nowhere near as large or liberal
as Of yore.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 23.-Christ- mas in Hollywood means open house."
 It is the only day in the year when the business of making nov ies comes to dead halt.
 Sundays and other holidays often see belated pictures being rushed to completion, but December 25 al- ways brings a complete cessation of activities.
 For that reason picture folks us ually can be found at home on Christmas day and most of them let it be known they expect "drop- pers in" Groups journey from house to house, bursting in to leave pres ents and wish good cheer.
 This open-house spirit may be a natural growth as a substitute for the Christmas atmosphere which is found in nearly every other locality besides southern California.
 For there never is white Christmas" in Hollywood.
 Among the stay -at-homes of star dom who will entertain friends on Christmas are Lupe Valez, Marion Davies, Colleen Moore, Bebe Dan iels and Ben Lyon.
 The Buster Keatons and the Harold Lloyds, whose estates are huge play places, will entertain many during the day Lloyd can heat his swimming pool and prob ably will urge his guests to take plunge, even if 1t is bit chilly.
 Mary Pickford and Douglas Fair banks will spend the day at their home with group of relatives and friends, including the Maurice Chevaliers. After Christmas Fair banks will go to Europe alone.
 Conrad Nagels Christmas party will be aboard his yacht, where he will entertain his family and few friends. A tree will be erected on the deck.

Senate No Longer Repub- lican - Makeup Is

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. B. Representative William R. Wood. Republican of Indiana, after a con- ference today with President Hoov- CT, said the statement of Robert Lucas, Executive Director of the Republican National Committee, ex- presses the sentiment of every real Republican.
 Lucas admitted at a hearing of the Senate Campaign Funds In- vestigating Committee he had ord- cred the circulation of literature urging the defeat of Senator Nor ris on the ground that the latter was not a Republican, inasmuch as he had fought the administration policies of President Coolidge and had opposed the election of Presi- dent Hoover
 Back Him to Limit
 Representative Wood said he per- sonally intended to back Lucas to the limit
 The Indiana man did not say the President had taken stand on the issue or whether it was even discussed. He said:
 We have been palliating and betting the fellows, like Senator George w. Norris, too long. If there is to be a Republican Party it must have Republicans in 1t"
 Leaving the Executive chamber, Representative Wood turned to the newspapermen and said:
 '"The Senate is no longer Re- publican as the people think. It has reached a point where the political make Il up is nondescript and Norris is not Republican, not even a Democrat-he is con- summate demagogue."
 Lucas has been attacked and defended and the end is not yet. His resignation has been demanded by some and his retention is de- manded by others.

WHOLE NATION IS UNDER
 CHRISTMAS MAGIC SPELL

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec.
 23.-The Hoovers, the Rockefel-

 are preparing their annual
 Christmas welcome for ruddy
 old St. Nicholas.
 Tinsel, holly and gay family

 Despite business depression and unemployment, the nation will drop it's work and observe the holiday this year with the customary spirit and joy.
 While lack of money may curb some of the activities, indications are that charitable organizations, clubs and societies will assist the poor perhaps more than ever be- lore.
 At the White House there is much mysterious activity. For the first time since the Roosevelt ad- ministration youngsters are there to bring the real Christmas spirit.
 The three little grandchildren of President and Mrs. Hoover-Peggy Ann, aged 4, Herbert, jr., 3, and Joan months-Will have a tree of their own in the nursery ar ranged for them on the third floor
 There they will hang up their stockings and the President prob ably will act as Santa Claus. An other tree will be in the first floor reception room where it's cheery sparkle can be seen by passersby.
 White House Parties
 Children of the Presidents Sec retaries and of Cabinet members will be entertained at White House parties Christmas eve and night.
 On farms in the corn belt. New d4i0 tAtt 6+N-'t NCotSt II range and mountain states, sleigh bells still will ring.
 In these sections the popularity of the sleigh ride has not entirely disappeared and in the holiday season many a modern automobile is left in tho garage while it's owner bundles into an old-fashioned hay rack placed on runners.
 Work for Broadway
 Along New York's two famous Broadway and Park ave- nue-Christmas spirit is not such simple matter.
 Park avenue at Christmas is a lane of costly baubles, where pres ents pile up to their riches peak in price.
 Along Broadway Christmas means extra work, and in these days of theatrical unemployment that is welcome. There are extra perform lances and benefits to entertain holi- day crowds.
