football coach at the University Of Penn

OF graduate coaches. In addition TO this,
Woodruff has been elected financial sec

cral years past that Woodruff has been
opposed 10 graduate coaches on the
ground that they only interfered with
his plans and rendered him no assistance
Coach Woodruff himself asked the board
of directors that he be given competent
board OF graduate coaches TO assist him.

for this board are Jack Minds or Haver-
ford. DIR. Newton of Fayette. Bull Of
Georgetown. Boyle OF Dickinson and
Buckley Vail. The composition and size
OF the board OF graduate coaches will not
be decided upon until later.
The action OF the board OF directors
is considered as a compromise measure
between the board and Woodruff and the
alumni and undergraduates. The former
favored the retention OF Woodruff with
out tho assistance OF graduate coaches.
while the latter insisted upon securing
graduate coaches. There was also n
strong sentiment among the undergradu-
ate coaches who wished 10 see Mike Muir

AS Mr.. Crowninshied knows the Bris-
tol boat is TO be larger than the Column
bia In length. beam and shalower as TO
draft. he intends to have his yacht larger
than the Columbia's successor, and in
consequence expects his boat Will have
TO give her time allowance.
The expanding OF the Bristol boats
plans will be followed proportionally at
every stage. Mr.. Crowninshield's design
will In no sense be a copy of Mr. Her
reshoffs. for he is an original thinker
with ideas OF his own, and his knowledge
of his rivals conceptions Will only be
used for comparison with other accepted
standards OF yacht construction.
Boston's defender will have a larger
sail spread than Bristors. The latter. IL
is said. will carry 14l00 square feet down
the wind, an increase over the Column
bia but the Lawson boat will have to
stand up under more than that, accord
ing to present plans for her.

handle boat are the sheerest nonsense
He is as strong and hearty as ever. and
looks forward to the racing next sum-
