 The bust of Theedcrs Dwight Wool sey, former President of the Universi- ty. which was modelled by Augustus Saint Gaudens few years ago, has been moved from it's former position in the entrance to Linsiy Hall. at the Library, and has been set up in the rotunda of Wooisey Hall. Its former position was rather obscure and after the war maps were put into place 1t was entirely hidden from view.
 Ia order to encourage pIayvsritins among college students and at the same time to secure play for herself, Miss Grace George announced Mon day that she would award a prize of $l,000 for the best play submitted to her by a college student. The an- nouncement came from the Playhouse. where Miss George has established a prize winning play will be produced by Miss George and her company at the Playhouse. The judges will be dramatic critic on one of the metro politan dailfes, well-lznown play wright, and a recognized stage direc- tor. Miss George believes that in the future the most successful plays will be written by college men. By offer ing this substantial inducement she hopes to promote keener interest in playwright among students. For three years Harvard Students have competed for this prize but this is the first op- portunity that Yale undergraduates have been given to show their abil- ity. The Yale Dramatic Association have been instrumental in opening this competition to Yale men. and 1t Is ex. pected that with the encouragement of the Association a large number of plays vii be entered by Yale students. The winter track season in the cage will begin shortly after Thanksgiving. The new track cage is nearly com pleted. The only delay is the laying Of the floor. which will be of the same material as that of the base ball cage. The cage will be 20 feet high, 20 feet | broad and will run the length of the old cage, the Carnegie Swimming Pool, and a part of the Gymnasium building. I It will contain a 75 yard straightway and there will be ample room for four men abreast to run in the hurdle races, The new cage has been built for the | track team and there will be no more special hours on account of baseball the prospects for the team this year are not as bright as in former years The scarcity of stars will make it nec- ] essary to develope a well balanced I team. Undoubtedly the team will be | particularly weak in the shot-put and the hammer throw.
