“1947 was one of the best years in the
history of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company. -
‘The Company’s financial position was
excellent. More Metropolitan policyholders
than ev@r before enjoyed theg blessings of
- life insurance. Through investments, the
* Company played a bigger role than in any
preceding year in helping to keep the wheels
of industry turning . . . to provide jobs and
+ homes .. . and to maintain high standards
of living.

” “However, the yesr was not without its
problems, Insurance costs were higher be
cause of lower interest rates, and because
of the prevalent inerease in the cost of goods
and services.”
President Leroy A. Lincoln reported these
facts in his account of the Company’s 1947

SOFT-SPOKEN HERMAN KEISER
MAN TO BEAT IN SPECIALISTS’
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April
16— (AP)— Soft-spoken Herman
Keiser looked liked the man to
beat today as 15 of the nation’s
top-ranking professional . golfers
teed off in the SIO,OOO Cavalier
Specijalists’ Tournament.

The Akron, Chio stylist was
red hot in a couple of tuneup
rounds over the par 69 Cavalier.
Country Club 6,065~-yard layout.
After shooting a 64 Wednesday,
Keiser came back yesterday to es~
tablish a new course record with
a seven-under-par 62, ‘
There was one fellow around
today, though, who wasn't so
sure that Keiser was going to
win this one. He was Herman
Keiser himself. "
“That was one of the three
best rounds I've ever shot in my
life,” said Keiser, whose 62
sliced one stroke from the course
record set in 1946 by Chandler
Harper, of Portsmouth, Va. :
Harper Ranked 1
“But I think that the favorite
for this 54-hole medal event is
Chandler Harper. He’'s been
playing brilliantly.” |
Whoever manages to come out
ahead in today’s 18-hole medal
round will remain there for a
day at least. For Saturday, 10 of
the golfers — plus non-playing
Captains Walter Hagen and
Gene Sarazen—will engage in a
two-ball “specialists team” bat

Lambda Chi And
Chi Psi Win
Softhall Tilts
Lambda Chi Alpha Fraterni
ty and Chi Psi Fraternity were
victorious in the two softball
games that opened the Student
Softball League at the YMCA
early this week.
« Lambda Chi Alpha turned in
an impressive score by beating
the “Y” Dormitory 9 to 3, but
pitcher Pat Fields was the star
player of the night. Chi Psi turn
ed their game with Sigma Nu
Fraternity into a track meet as
Ithey took the game by the count
of 26 to 4.
Fields struck out 17 men and
was the star pitcher of the night
always working himself out of
trouble easily. Bates, Chi Psi,
contributed a home run and a
double to his team’s Victory and
teammate Lewis hit a homer al
so. Bates turned in an impres
sive .667 batting average from
his four hits out of :six trys.
Hester, third baseman for the
Chi Psi’s got three for four end
ing with a .750 average,
Lambda Chi’s third sacker, Ed
Thompson, turned out to be the
big ' slugger for his team as he
made a batting average of .667
and also made two runs as did
teammate Bondy Holcombe.
However Holcombe got no hits
in his one trip at bat.
Mr. Lincoln also reported that last year
a committee representing all State Insurance
Departments completed, as required by law,
a periodic examination of Metropolitan. In
their conclusions, the examiners réported:
,"“The examination of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company indicates
thatitisinasound financial condition.”
“Policy claims are paid promptly, and
fair and equitable treatment has been
accorded the policyholders.”
