Auburn, October 14.--,special.) ) Playing in weather far more suited for baseball than football the Auburn eleven relied up score of s3 to over Mercer university on the campus here today.
 Mercer apparently made little effort to stop them and the Auburn backs went through the line or around the ends at will. Straight football was used throughout, Mercer attempting only two forward passes, which were promptly intercepted by Auburn.
 Against the weak Mercer team every department of the Tiger machine showed up we'll, the backfield doing es- pecially good work. Bill Donahue and Pat Jones both did excellent broken field running, while the veterans, Prem dergast and Hairston, were at their best. Rickenbacher showed his driving power in punching over touchdown aft e touchdown. Scott and Revington also did some good work and, in fact, they all were "there' with the goods.
 SUBSTITUTING BEGINS /
 Auburn began substituting after the first quarter and every man on the squad got into the game. In the third quarter the entire team was made up of substitutes and they managed to put over two touchdowns.
 The game was opened by Mercer kicking to Auburn's 15-yard line and Prendergast returning it 30 yards. Here it appeared that Mercer was going to, r4- IaFA f4r A,tht was unable to make first down. Auburn in turn held Mercer and receiveds the bal, on the latter's 45-yard line.
 Here began the Plainsmen's steady march that was never headed during the game. The ball was carried by end runs and off-tackle plays to the 12- yard line, where Rickenbacher prompt ly roughed 1t over for the first touch- down. The second touchdown was scored in very much the same way. The third one came through the good work of Pat Jones who carried the ball on broken field run 35 yards to the l. yard line, where Rickenbacher punched it over. From then till the close of the game Auburn scored over any part of the team they desired. < LINEUP AND SUMMARY
