Coaches Feel Ceorgians War
rant Putting on All Kinds Of
Steam This Week.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Oct. "a
Penn State coaches feel that there is
no rest for the weary this week and
the players are prone to agree with
them, for In spite of the gruelltng
game with Harvard on Saturday, there
viii be plenty of hard preparation this
week for the big intersectional clash
with Georgia Tech at N.w York next
Saturday. Two such games as Har-
ward and Georgia Tech on successive
week ends is enough to try the mette
Of any eleven.
The players received good news
when they returned yesterday. for
Captain Smell, veteran fullback, who
has been In the hospital for over a
week and who was sorely missed in
the Harvard contest, is rapidly i'm
proving and will probably return to
practice the latter part OF this week.
II In doubtful, however. II he will be
able to play In the Georgia Tech game.
for II will take him some little time
to recover his strength. IL was feared
for a while that he would have to
undergo an operation which would
have kept him out for the balance OF
the season, 30 that the news of his
rapid Improvement Ia most welcome
indeed.
The game with the Golden Torna-
does this week looms up as more and
more of q menace every day. and no
pains will be spared in practice to
whip the Nittany eleven into shape
to defend northern honors. The team
is improving steadily and the coaches
are beginning to feel q little more
encouraged with the way the men are
working into top sped.

H0LMESbURG| IS
too TOUGH FOR
LOCAL GR|DOERS
McCucking Clever Enough to
Defeat Washington Pros by
10 to o Score.

Holmesburg proved to be the first
real stumbling block encountered by
the Washington Pros yesterday and
the locals fell with a dull thud for a
10 to count. The visiting eleven
produced In McGuckin a star Of the
first water.
McGuckin was the whole works for
the Holmesburg eleven. He inter.
cepted a forward pass and raced fifty.
five yards for a touchdown, counting
a goal after the score. In addition
Mcquckin booted field goal over tho
bars from the thirty-yard line. He
was in every play and showed plenty
of stuff at the finish.
The going was too stiff for several
OF the local lads and while Coach
Hegarty put plenty Of substitutes in
the fray they failed to stick with the
going so fast and snappy was the at.
tack Of the visiting eleven.
The first half ended In a scoreless
tie with both teams feeling each other
out. In the third period the visitors
scored all their points and rested con-
tent with halting the local lads during
the fourth session.
McGuckin scored first on a neat
drop-kick and while the ball was al.
most always in the local territory the
visitors failed to produce punch
enough to carry It over.
Richmond players come here Sunday
for an engagement with the local
eleven. The Richmond boys played
here last year against the Knicker-
bockers and lost In the last few sec.
onds Of play on a forward pass.
