No generalship was necessary to-day, az
Yale worked upon a fixed plan OF punt

Pennsylvania Shows Improve
ment and Beats Dickinson.
lBy Telegraph 20 The Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-Although Pennsyl-
vania was held to a l6 TO score this
afternoon by Dickinson, the Quakers
played well. In Dickinson they met
line that was heavy and shifty, and for a
time Pennsylvania green forwards were
worried. but as the game progressed they
improved. and In the second half out
played the visitors at every point. In the
first and second periods the Dickinson
defence was so good that Pennsylvania
could not score, and the visitors were
able to make plenty Of ground on their
own account. slxty-seven yards repre-
scented the total ground gained by Penn
sylvania in the first half, and in the same
time Dickinson made two first downs and
carried the ball for a total of forty yards.
In the second half Pennsylvania gained
lG yards, TO only nine yards for Dickln-
son.
The Quakers had TO work hard for their
first touchdown, which came In the third
period. Marshall had been told to play

line, and the backs went through centre
and of tackle on nearly every play. After
the ball had been carried three-quarttrs

side the 3-yard line. The Quakers re-
fused to attempt a score by means OF an
end run or forward pass. but were de-
'termined to get over by old-fashioned
football. The Dickinson defence massed
and piled up the first two plun9es Oy
Minds for a gain of only yard. Captain
Mercer finally got the ball over on the
fourth down. but with only foot TO
spare.
In the first half Jourdet, Of Pennsyl-
vania. was disqualified for rough play.
and Dick,nson received half the distance
to the Quaker goal.
