    Bud Sho,Oered With Praise for Play as Penn Hands 2I-O Reverse to Dart. mouth Eleuen STRAUS MAKES GOOD StVLJHAT do I think of him? why, w he’s an All-American end; that’s what think Of him” The deep, bass voice of Bill Hollenback could be heard above the clamor and chatter that was going on in the Penn dressing room after the 21–⁠0 vic. tory of the Red and Blue over Dart mouth on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon.
