Special Envoy John Lind, Charge

Mexican situation to-day in Philadel-

policy, saying;

Tiny Henderson,
Georgia's Football
Star; Hurt in Game
Malignant Fatality Pursues Contests
With VirginIa-surseons Puz-
zIed Over Case.

Physicians at the Davis Fischer
Sanitarium were puzzled Saturday
night over the injuries inflicted on
Tiny Henderson, Georgia's star
linesman. during the game with Vir-
ginia yesterday afternoon. Henderson
was suffering cxcruciating pains in
the back late last night.
Physicians say the big player has
either a badly sprained back or else
is injured internally in the region OF
the kidneys. He will be laid up for
several weeks in all probability.
Early in the game Henderson, who
is Georgia's mainstay, and, indeed,
one of the best football men in the
South, suffered an injury to his left
knee, where he was hurt in a former
game. Near the end of the first
quarter he got smashing blow in
the right side, which laid him out.
The injury to the big Georgia tackle
recalls the death of Won Cannon,
the Georgia halfback, in the game
with Virgin in 1897
G. Groines, a GAINESVILLE youth,
playing guard on the Gordon Insti-
tute eleven, also was injured in the
game with Riverside Saturday morn
ing. A silver plate in Groines' head
was disturbed in a play.
