Nashville, October 21.-(Special.)
The strategy of the CoNmodOres is
being directed against the attack of
the Auburn Plainsmen. The men of
McGugin still feeling the effects of
the hard game with Georgia Tech
in Atlanta Saturday are going
through daily workouts on Dudley
field with vim which rarely fol-
lows a clash of the severity of that
of Saturday.
Coming out of the Tech battle, three
men are injured from the Commodore
fold. Tom Liscomb, whose smashing
game at tackle was a feature of the
Tech game, is limping around with his
sprained ankle in plaster cast, being
unable to get into uniform He will be
out of the game in the Auburn fray,
and his injuries may extend over a
much longer period of time. The loss
of Lipscomb is a severe blow TO the
Commodore line, for with the gigantic
tackle working on one flank and the
mighty Cody on the other end of the
tackling mechanism. opposing back
fields had something to worry about.
Pink" Wade, the sensational fresh
man halfback, is hobbling around on
crutches as result of the injuries
which forced him out of the Saturday
conflict, and his loss is also keenly felt
by the McGuginites. Coach Dan still
has three good halfbacks left in Berry
HILL Floyd and Lockman, but the heavy
poundage of Wade was a big help to the
team and his loss will be keenly felt
in the Auburn affair.
The third member among the more
seriously injured is Bailey, one of the
s~nmodore star guards, and it Is
doubtful if he can get into harness
in time to participate in the game Sat
urday Although McGugin has men tc
rush into the gaps of all three of these
regulars, each member of the trio has
been putting up a great game thus fai
and their absence will be felt beyond
a doubt.

VANDY HAS TRICKS

Secret practice occupied the time and
attention of the Commodores Monday
and Tuesday afternoons, Dudley field
being closed to all except members of
the team and newspaper men. The
proposition which confronts McGugin is
to perfect certain of the Commodores'
trick formations which were not
brought intd practice against Tech,
the Vandy wizard realizes that every
member of the Auburn team watched
the Atlanta battle from ringside seat
and became familiar with numerous
hits of football information which
would be of material benefit to them
should the same formations be used in
the Saturday game as were used on
Grant field. With this in view, Nc
Gugin, Assistant Coach Manner and
Capt. Josh Cody got their heads 5ogeth-
err in figuring out some inside stuff
not yet opened up by the Gold and
Black.
The policy of straight football can
hardly be depended upon at this late
stage of the game. and the matter of
strategy becomes a more dominant fac
tor each day as the season advances,
Even with Lipscomb missing from the
line. the Commodores defense is in good
condition to stave off rival attack.
The attention of the coaches is being
QcNOleI ALMOST exclusively TO the DdCk-
field at present, and the development of
a punch is the most widely desired OBJ
jective. The return of Hubert Wigs
to the fullback position practically
eliminates Harvey Hendrix from the
role, as Wigs past performances have
stamped Elm as one of the greatest full
backs in the south. The principal trou-
BILE is that Wigs has only been in uni
form a week, and the fact that he
went into, the Tech game insufficiently
trained and out of condition physical
ly worked hardship rpon him which
cannot be overcome even with another
10 days training. Taking a man from
ordinary life and plunging him into
battle as the target of the Tech tack
lers is not figured to add much to the
comfort of the gentleman in question,
but Wigs is willing to go to it at top
speed. and Vanderbilt followers are pre-
dieting that he will give creditable
account of himself against Auburn.

Future World Series to Be
On Fiue Out of Nine Basis
Officials Blundered on Sale of Tickets for Sew
enth Game, and Sold Only Half-Price of
Series Too High-Changes
By JAMES }. coRBETT

It's fairly safe wager that all of the
world series combats of the future will
be decided upon the beat five-out-of-
nine basis.
Those who declared that increasing the
schedule from seven to nine games was
a money making scheme are right. But
the point is that those who pay their
ject, even though it dragged along
through eight games. There was as
much excitement and enthusiasm over
the seventh and eighth as there had
been about the earlier combat.
The fact that the crowd for the sew
enth game staged in Cincinnati was
something of bust" wasznot at all due
to lack of interest in the struggle. The
park would have been damned for that
game. as it was for the others, if there
hadn't been some fearful laundering on
the part of the club officials who were
handling the ticket sales.
MANY TICKETS UNSOLD
No special announcement of any kind
was made as to the places where tickets

Nor was there any effort to spread the
fact that there were tickets a-plenty
for those who wanted to see the games.
The Cincinnati people who handled the
ticket sales for that game never tried
as was the case in Chicago for the eighth
game-to sell all the tickets.
1t is a fact that in Cincinnati hun
dreds of persons bought tickets for the
seventh game from spectators and paid
more than double the ordinary price be-
cause they assumed that the club had
sold out all the tickets. All the while
thousands upon thousands of tickets
were in the various ticket offices await
ing customers.
If the Cincinnati club owners mercy
had asked the newspapers in Redland tc
print story on the seventh game day
that there were plenty of tickets fol

swarmed to get them. But the ma
