The Greatest Battlefield.

The greatest battlefield on which
a man ever fought Is within himself.
The greatest victories are there. VieI
tory there Is the greatest victory.
possible in a mans life. All the
of themselves are less than the
achievements Of getting mastery OF
themselves. Victory here means
victory elsewhere.
All other problems of the personal
sort are included in this: Their So
luton is included in its solution.
There must be practical understand
ing about sin, and real power over
it, before there can be self-mastery.
For it was sin that first stole self
mastery away. Selfshness must be
seen and gripped in its subtle as well
as it's coarse forms, before the sweets
Of the finest self-mastery can be
tasted. Doubt must be mastered, at
least far enough to give a steady
footing and steady going. IL the fra
GRANGE of self-mastery Is to fill the
life. Only he who sees clearly the
highest ambition Of life, and holds
everything else strictly under, can
climb the heights here.
The great mastery is self-mastery.
The greatest man is he who has be-
come master of himself, not In the
limited sense of some who do not
able things On other fields, but In
the finest, fullest sense. This Is the
most fascinating of all problems. 1t
is a continuous problem, ever yield
ing to solution, yet never fully
solved. For every high level reached
shows a higher beyond, so great is
the possibility lying within oneself.
Man was made like God and to
have a dominion over all the lower
creation. That is the Bible way OF
saying that he %as to be master OF
his own self, and through that self
mastery to be master Of all creation.
The man. eager to reach the highest
mastery will study God, for here is
the original plan for himself. He
will keep in close contact with the
Original. The closer that touch the
nearer. does he come to his own true

\. II. II. S. WINS ON TRACK.
Connolly the Individual Star in Derby
 Meet

Eleven cinder men represented the New Haven high track team in their meet against Derby high Saturday at the Derby Meadows. The large numbei of Derby enthusiasts were kept from making inroads upon what was sup posed to be the running track by the Derby police force. The abode for the New Haven runners consisted of a tent which furnished suitable target for the baseball players, as the Meadows are used for d baseball diamond also.
 Although New Haven nigh was han dicapped by the absence of many of it's first place men, they put up fine ex- hibition, considering the miserable con dItlon of the track, which was made more so by the drzzling descent from the aerial sprinkler However, the in- terest of the meet was great, for the competition was both close and inter esting, New Haven finally winning out by the score of 3933
 Connolly, an all-round athlete of the New Haven high, did brilliant work
 
 scoring 15 points Out of three events entered he won first place. He immedi- ately started Well-deserved praise by breaking his previous record in the 100-yard dash by running this event in 10 2-5 seconds. Had the track been in better condition, Connolly would prob ably have run it in better time. He came again into prominence by dash ing off the 44O-yard in 57 4-5, after which he also won the 220, accomplish ing this in 25 1-5 seconds.
 Capt Adams of the x H, H. $. put the finishing touches on for them, He ran the last event only which was the 1 half mile and won first place in that easily, doing it in 2;10, winning the meet.

MEET A WALK0VER
Score Made by Yale Against Princeton 73 Points
 to 31.
CAREY THE STAR FOR ELLIS
Whitelcy. ol nceton. Pulls Tendon and Is Out of the Inter.
 collegiates.

That Yale would win the track meet against Princeton Saturday no one had much doubt, but few believed tl,at Yale would win by more than a close margin. The difference in points 73 to 3l was great surprise and was due both to the fact that the Yale men showed up better than was expected, and that the Princeton men failed to live up to past performances.
 Carey was the star of the meet for Yale and in his events came the sur prises. Before the meet the hundred yard dash had been granted to Gamble of Princeton who was a point winner in the intercollegiates last year Carey was put in at the last minute for Yale and won first place. doing the distance in 10 1-5 seconds. Connors of Prince ton took second place and Gamble came in third Carey won five points for Yale in the 220.
 The two mile run was also surprise Brown 'o9 S. coming in first in lo:os minutes. Weeks, who won the two mile event in the spring games here a week ago, came in third. Whitely, the Princeton half-miler. pulled a tendon in the race and though hc won It. will not be able to run any more this year. The summaries of the 7 meet:
