Philadelphia, Dec. 15.—“Big Bill"” Hollenback, captain of the 1908 foot- | ball team of the University of Penn- | sylvania, was yesterday elected a member of the Graduate Board of Di- rectors of the university’s athletic as- sociation by the largest vote polled by any candidate in years. His total was 669. Three other members of the Graduate Board were elected—Jack Minds, with a total of 619; Louis C. Madeira, 619, and James Bodley, 456. Competition for places on the Un- der-graduate Board of Directors was not so keen. The men elected to fill the eight vacancies in this body were Robert Dechert, John B. Thayer, Cas- per W. B. Townsend, Neilson Mat- thews, James E. Meredith, and Walter Hopkins. the heavyweight Willard. In the last bout between Mora#l . and Coffey-the former won & decisive victory. At Madison Square Garden 1“ n d against Jesy Still, we'll say this for Mr. Henry { Ford: He never tried to pick an all- star eleven. That’s something, any- way. Oct. 19 Moran knocked out Coffey the third round, and then it was sall that the championship aspirations ®f the former motorman were forever blasted. A right hand blow to the jaw floored Coffey, and, though he rose | to his feet just before he was counted out, the referee stopped the bout. Ellis Zisk .

The news photographers who have been compelled to submit to so much abuse and just condemnation for their audacity in snapping portraits of per- sons who, either through modesty or from some special and immediate de- sire to avoid notoriety, do not care to have their likenesses printed, have been proving themselves of late pub- lic servants who well deserve com- mendation. Perhaps it is unneces- sary to speak of the invaluable work of the news photographers in the European war, as everybody knows by this time that they are making such a pictorial record of its events as was never made of a previous war. Their courage in braving danger is as remarkable as their skill in gaining footholds from which to observe the actions of troops on land and the movements of battleships at sea. Courage, to, and that of no mean order, is required of the camera men | who have been employed in taking pictures among the Bayonne rioters.
