lions will be prepared by the board
for Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, the
may specify the various subjects in
which their candidates are to be ex-
amined. Yale and Princeton have def
initely decide to accept the college
board examinations and while Har-
ward has not yet done so it is thought
this plan will be accepted by them,
and in any case they would assist in
making up the papers. Terms similar
to these are already in force at Har-
ward and Princeton. At Harvard
where they have been offered for four
years, the number of men admitted by
examination under the new plan has
increased steadily from SO the first
year until 1t reached 224 last. The to-
tai number admitted to this class was
6S5, about one third of the candidates
took these examinations. 1t is hoped
by the Harvard authorities that this
new plan will in time entirely take
the place of the old method. At Prince
ton this new scheme has only been
tried one year so it is imp possible to
speak with accuracy of its success.
Seventy eight men reported for the
first spring football practice held at
Yale field last Tuesday. The work
this year is to be built for the main
part, around the kicking and the pass
ing contests which will be held at the
last for at least three weeks. The
candidates will also be tested in punt
Ing drop-kickins, kicking, for
ward passing, lateral passing, and
catching. The man making the best
showing will receive the 'all around"
prize, and cups will be given to the
winners of the six events. The men
will be given great deal of line work;
and will be thoroughly trained in line
plunging and drilled in the fundament-
-
tice is of great Importance since the
first game is scheduled so early in the
fall. The larger part of the time on
Tuesday was devoted to drill in line
tactics and the entire squad was given
a chance to practice both the offensive
and the defensive details of the work.
Head Coach Hinkey was in charge and
was assisted by DR.. Bull, and sever
al of the alumni. Ex-Captain Talbot
also aided in the coaching. Captain
Wilson assumed charge Of the squad
for the first time.
Plans have been definitely eompIet-
ed for the performance of Granville
Bankers company in the Bowl on the
afternoon Of May Is. The play will be
under the direction of the university
dramatic association. Mr.. Barker
will present Sir Gilbert Murray's
translation of '1phigeneia in Tauris''
About seven sections in the southwest
ern end of the bowl will be blocked off
for the audience, accommodating $4,000
people. After the stage is erected a
scene will be put up measuring 160
feet from end to end, and standing 80
feet at each end and 40 feet in the
center. in representation of the exte-
rior Of Greek temple. The play,
which is a romantic drama, about g.
328 years ago was staged by Euripi-
des' in the Dionysias theatre on the
slope of the Acropolis at Athens The
Anthenian theatre seated upwards of
20, 600 people spectators under the
open sky. The entire atmosphere and
play which the Athenians went to see
is in striking comparison with the per
Torrance which Granville Barker will
produce in the bowl next month eX-
cept that Sir Gilbert Murray has given
it an English garb.
With the approval of the senior
council and the university authorities
it has been decided to adopt for the
senior class, sailor suits which may
be worn later in the spring at all
times except to chapel and to classes
Glass parties will be planned for the
month of May, and the costumes will
be adapted to these occasions. In ad-
dition they will be the same as will be
used in 1916 at the first reunion of the
graduating class. Tests are being
made to secure materials and patterns
which will be attractive and servicea-

are the most serviceable costume yet
adopted by the class.
