PENN WAIVERS THEN WINS
Ursinus Starts Well, but Is
SWamped at the End.
MERCER THE STAR OF TEAM
Makes Four Touchdowns, While
Jourdet Works Forward
Pass to Effect.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-Although the
Pennsylvania football eleven won by a
score OF 80 TO 0. the Ursinus team gave
the Qualters bad scare In the first period
OF this afternoons game. On two &C.
casions the visitors made three first downs
In succession through line plunging and
end running. on one occasion they car
ried the ball forty yards and again for
thirty yards. Their advance the second
time was stopped by bad pass. which
lost them twenty yards.
II was not until the second period that
the Pennsylvania team got together. and
then Urslnus was powerless to check the
rushes OF the Red and Blue backs, Three
times Pennsylvania scored In this period
and twice more In the next In the last
period the Quakers sent In new players
after nearly every lineup and no further
scoring resulted.
Captain Mercer and Jourdet were the
stars OF tho Pennsylvania team, Mercer
making four toushdowns and Jourdet one.
Jourdet handled the forward pass excep-
tionally we'll, making his touchdown with
II and getting II successfully from Minds
four out OF five times. He made the
initial score on a flfteen-yard run after
getting n twenty-yard pass.
Pennsylvania made the second score on
an even dozen plays from the I0-yard
line. Mercer made his longest run OF the
day on the hrst lineup after the next
hck-off. On a tackle play he sprinted
slxty-five yards for the touchdown.
In the third period the Quakers rushed
the ball from their 25-yard line to with
I'm foot OF the Ursinus goal line, where
Il was lost on downs. The ball was car
red over the line on eight rushes from
mldfeld, Mercer scoring. For the final
touchdown Simpsons intercepted forward
pass on Ursinus's 20-yard line and Mercer
tailed with a single rush.
