YALE MEN IN GOLF.
A Remarkably Good Showing in the
Summer Tournaments,
During the past Summer, college
golfers have figured largely in the vari-
ous golf tournaments throughout the
country and anyone who has followed
the results of the tournaments for the
past three years has undoubtedly no-
ticed the gradual advance of these
younger players. Of the Yale men who
have been most conspicuous in the vari-
ous tournaments are Walter B. Smith,
99: John Reid, Jr., ’99; R. H. Crowell,
98; F. M. Robertson, 1901; R. Terry,
Jr., "98; We -Ri Betts, 68 “and C.D.
Barnes, 1902.
Walter B. Smith started his golfing
career this Summer by winning the
Fourth of July Cup at this home club
at Lake Forest, Ill. The match was
open to men who had not played golf
prior to 1894. In the same month Smith
WALTER B. SMITH, 99.
won the prize for lowest gross score
in the July handicap. In six team
matches, three with the Chicago Golf
Club and three with the Milwaukee
Golf Club, Smith won four matches
and lost two. In the Championship,
Smith tied with R. H. Crowell and C.
B. Macdonald for the second best score
in the qualification round and then won
in the play-off. In the match play,
Smith easily disposed of J. H. Choate,
Jr. of Harvard, who had the day before
won the best score prize. Smith then
beat Bayard of Princeton, after a close
match. G. D. Fowle was the next man
who succumbed to him, and in the semi-
finals Smith beat C. B. Macdonald of
Chicago, who won the Amateur Cham-
pionship in 1895. In the finals Smith
was beaten by Findlay S. Douglas 5 up
and 3 to play, after a very hard fight
in which both men showed good form
and very superior golf.
John Reid, Jr. played in a number of
tournaments this Summer. The first
one was at Seabright, where he qualified
and beat H. P. Toler and later was
beaten by W. J. Travis. At Shinnecock
he was beaten by G. E. Clark, Jr., of
Harvard. While down on Cap Cod,
Reid won a tournament on a private
golf course on Great Island. At Sara-
toga, Reid won the gross score prize
in the qualification round and won the
tournament later, beating A. D. Coch-
rane, ’96, and Jasper Lynch and H.
Holbrook, Jr. In the handicap on the
last day he also won the gross score
prize. In the Labor Day handicap at
St. Andrews, his home club, Reid won
the prize with an 80, which lowered the
record for the course 2 strokes. In the
Championship, Reid qualified and beat
A. D. Cochrane. He was, in turn,
beaten in the second round by C. B.
Macdonald, after a very close match.
R. H. Crowell, ’98, did not make an
appearance in any of the Eastern tour-
naments until the Championship. In it
he tied for the second best score prize
with W. B. Smith and C. B. Macdonald.
In the play-off he was beaten by both
Smith and Macdonald. At the West-
brook tournament Crowell qualified and
then was beaten in the first round.
T. M. Robertson, 1901, qualified at
Seabright and beat two men and was
then beaten by H. K. Toler, who after-
ward won the tournament. At Shinne-
cock, Robertson qualified and was
beaten in the second round ay GC
Clark, Jr., of Harvard. Robertson then
went to the Stockbridge tournament,
=
where he showed excellent form and
defeated J. F. Curtis, the Intercollegiate
champion, and two or three other very |
fine golfers and finally won the tourna-
ment by defeating Joseph H. Choate,
Jr. Robertson did not qualify in the
' Championship, as he was not in good
health.
RR Terry, Jry- 98). Captain: of ast
year’s team, did not play in many tour-
naments. He was beaten by Foxhall
Keene at Shinnecock.
W. R. Betts, ’98, has not played much
this Summer. At Shinnecock he failed
to qualify.
C. D. Barnes, 1902, qualified in the
Shinnecock tournament and was beaten
by H. B. Hollins, Jr., who afterward
won the tournament. Barnes did not
qualify in the Championship.
After the Shinnecock tournament,
there was a Summer meeting of the
Yale and Harvard teams. The Harvard
team was much helped by the presence
of G. C. Clark, Jr., and it is only fair
to say that the Yale team was greatly
weakened by the absence of W. B.
Smith. The make up of the teams was:
Yale—Reid, Robertson, Terry, Betts,
Barnes and Cheney.
Harvard — Curtis, Clark,
Choate, Barger and Sargent.
In the team match Harvard won
easily 22—1I0.
In the foursome match, R. Terry, Jr.,
98, and T. M. Robertson, 1901, were
beaten by J. F. Curtis and Bayard Cut-
ting of Harvard, 10 up. John Reid, Jr.,
’99, and W. R. Betts, ’98, beat J. H.
Choate, rand -G.. ©. Clark’ Tr, i up;
after the Harvard, men were 2 up and
3 to play. The Yale men took the last
3 holes in 4,3,3. C. D. Barnes, Jr., 1902.
and T. L. Cheney, 1901, were beaten by
M. Sargent and M. Barger Io up.
Harvard thus won by 19 holes. The
total of the whole match showed a de-
cided victory for Harvard, her players
having won by a margin of 31 holes.

ELDER SWAN
ON.
INSURANCE.
The famous revivalist of Connecticut, of fifty
--years ago, conceived of the new fad of
life insurance as a heinous sin, against
which he thundered from the pulpit or
convention platform. It was to him a
sign of a lack of faith, and one of the
“snares of a perverse generation.” In
one of his sermons he represented John
the Baptist as answering the question as
to where he was going, by replying that
he had rested on the Jewish religious
faith for all these years and yet had been
sorely troubled, and he was now going
to Jerusalem to get his life insured.
Elder Swan pictured the horrible. effect
on the new religion if any such illustra-
tion of a lack of faith had been allowed’
This incident is interesting as indicating, even
3 by a false conception of it, the ethical
side of insurance. As Mr. Woodward
says in his history of “Insurance in
Connecticut,’ in quoting this incident:
“Prejudice yielded to enlightened dis-
cussion, and the act condemned by the
good Elder as a sin is now rated one of
the duties.’’ There is no question that
most men reckon life insurance as a
duty, and there is also no doubt that it
may be made a very pleasant and attrac-
tive duty. If you doubt this you may
inquire of the
