“Calm, Complete, Colossal Contempt.” ae
¥
A bright member of the Yale English Faculty, in describing the attitude-of his President toward
.. Slander, in_ this language justified an occasional resort to alliteration. One of the two
_ million seven hundred thousand Americans whose lives we insure, once wrote to us of that
.. “profitable property and priceless protection, a paid-up policy in the powerful, provident,
. .. painstaking, progressive, peerless Prudential.”
This prodigal appropriation of the Queen’s best adjectives would not be worth reproduction if
. each did not express a practical consideration of great importance to anyone considering
... the subject of insurance.
We would like to develop each one for you.

WINTER HANDICAP GAMES,
A Successful Meet Where Wale Men
Made Good Showing.
The annual Winter handicap games
of the Yale Athletic Association, in
conjunction with the Connecticut Na-
tional Guard, were held at the Second
Regiment Armory last Saturday even-
ing and were a decided success, both in
point of competition and in attendance.
There were fewer outside entries than
in former years and this may account
for the large number of places secured
by Yale men, namely four firsts and
four seconds. The University of Penn-
sylvania took one first and one second
place. In the races no particularly
fast time was made, but in the pole
vault the scratch man, R. G. Clapp,
099 S., won with a vault of 10 feet 10%
inches, and in the high jump E. C.
Waller, ’99 S., had no difficulty in clear-
ing 6 feet. The event of the evening,
however, was the relay race between
teams representing the Academic and
Scientific Departments. The first two
runners gained no advantage for their
sides, but in the second and third relays
the Academic men gained about five
yards. The fourth relay between C. E.
Ordway, 1900, and I. Richards, Jr.,
1900 S., was most exciting, Richards at
first gaining a little of the lost ground
for his team, but Ordway finally finish-
ing about five yards ahead. The shot
putting contest was postponed until a
later date.
Following is a summary of the
events:
50-yard dash—zo starters. Won by

Baseball at Princeton.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY. ]
Princeton, N. J., March 16.—In base- —
ball Princeton is likely this season
to have a good fielding team, with
only a fair general average of batting
ability.. Of last year’s nine, Kafer,
Kelly, Butler, Hillebrand, Barrett and
Easton are still in College. Kafer will
of course do the catching, though
Freshman Robbins has appeared ex-
cellently in this position. Kelly will
again play first base, and Easton will
play in the field, unless his arm re-
covers sufficiently to enable him to do
some pitching. The other positions,
however, await developments. Cap-
tain Butler will either play his old
position of shortstop or go to the out-
field, while Barrett is being pushed
very hard at third base by Angle, 1900,
who was pitcher on last year’s Fresh-
man nine.
Hillebrand has shown considerable
improvement in the box under the tui-
tion of Jayne, and it is expected that
he will be able to do some pitching,
though Princeton is well nigh certain
to lack capable substitute pitchers.
Shortstop, second base and at least
one outfield position will have to be
filled by new men.
In the matter of batting Princeton
will have to depend almost exclusively
upon Kafer, Kelly, Easton and Butler.
