NJ GUG|N EXPECTS
HARD BATTLE IN
ATLANTA

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. IL
" An X-ray examination of Joe
Covington's sprained ankle,
received Saturday in the Wander
bilt- Maryville game, made today,
shows that the injury was more Sc
rious than at first supposed. and
makes it appear that one of the
three veteran linemen McGugin
had will be out of the Georgia game
in Atlanta.
Covington has been developing
rapidly this year. and had already
shown class well above that of last
year Losing him from the tackle
position for game that is eX-
pected to be as hard and critical as
the Georgia game is a heavy blow
to Vanderbilt.
The final lineup of the team is
beginning to shape up now. with
the first heavy game little more
than a week away. The place that
has caused the greatest anxiety
and speculation is Ray Morrison's
place at quarter, but it now ap-
pears that this will in all probable
ity go to Curtin. the re-shot drop
kicker.
Curtin is advancing in the general
art of football rapidly, and he has
long stood right at the top as a
drop kicker. He is speedy, and
that is an absolute requisite for a
quarter on a team where every back
can breeze along tke field close to
a ten second gait.
Vandy Has Some Back Field.
The three back field men will I'M
doubtedly be Hardage. left half:
Silkes full. and Collins. right half.
Muck Brown will be on one end,
and the other end will probably go
to Peck Turner, with Chester, who
put up a strong fight for the place,
subbing for Skies at full.

the difference in the world to Bos-

On the next play Stahl hit 10
Vanguard, who showed commenda-
BILE headwork in pivoting with the
drive and throwing to third. where
Gardner was retired. This play
changed the aspect of things; for,
although Wagner got his base on
Merkle's second error of the inning,
and then stole, putting men on
second and third Devore burst
into the limelight with superb
running catch of Cady's terrific
drive to deep right center.
Had Cady's drive ever gotten be

would have gone -glimmering. As
it was, the catch meant the third

games, Murray and HerzoG carried

rihce that sent the Giants first run
across, and It was Herzog who
scored New YorlIs second run
when he opened the Nth with a
fine two-b Dagger and tailed on a
timely drive by the despised
Fletcher.
This one hit by Fletcher re-
deemed reputation which was
clouded by his poor dolding in the
previous games 1t showed that
the Giant shortstop has recovered
his grip and that from this time
onward he will do his part in up
holding the prestige Of the McGraw
outtit.
Not only in the batting line but
a. tielders. did the Giants shine
Yesterday. In Left field Murray
made one of the most remarkable
plays Of the series when he ran
back in the fourth inning after
Wagner's line drive, Jumped in the
air, speared It with one hand and
held on to the bail, though he
turned complete somersault in
making the play. Herzog PLAYED
his position perfectly. and Devore.

Boston team got none OF the lucky
breaks yesterday. while the Giants
