BY SWARTHMORE.
Most of the Regulars of the
Latter Taken Out in the
Second Half and Scrub
Men Put In.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
| SWARTHMORE. Pa, October 10
lSwarthmore played her second winning
game this afternoon, beating the George
Washington team by the score of 30 to o..
The game was one-sided from the b.
ginning. the Quakers getting two touch
downs and a field goal in the first half.
Quarterback Rath failed to kick one goal,
making the score 10 to at the end of the
first half.
In the second half Doc Shell took out
most of the varsity and put in scrub men.
Millman. Coble and krider were the only
varsity men who played the whole game.
Miller took Rowland's place at right end,
Transue took MacDonoguh's place at full
back, Nehls replaced Leftguard Smith,
Johnson played right tackle instead of
McGovern, Rittman played right end in
stead of Roberts, Buch played left half
back instead of Harcourt, Crewes played
right end instead of Miller, Wickha n
played left halfback instead of Pritchard,
Perkins played left end instead of Rath.
Rath was the star player for Swarth-
more. He ran the team in o Brien s alb
sence. showing great headwork and kick
ing ability. He made two drop kick goals
from the 3O-yard-line. and kicked one goal
after a touchdown. Halfback HarcOurt
kicked off each time for the Garnet, and
made many 1o-yard gains through the
Washington line. The Washington team
was exceptionally weak on its forward
passes, Swarthmore ends nearly always
blocking them. SWarthmore was penal
lied a great many times for off-side play,
and twice for allowing forward passes to
touch the ground.
In the first half Macdonald made from
twenty TO thirty yard gains through cen
ter every time he was given the ball.
Quarterback Rath made a very pretty
thirty-yard run for a touchdown in the
first half. Halfback Pritchard duplicated
the run in the second half. Nehls who
took Smiths place, twice got the ball on
fumbles and gained twenty yards each
time. He outplayed his opponent in every
play. Washington took time out fire.
quently in the second half Its right half
seemed to get knocked out in every play.
In running back kicks Quarterback
Rath beat O Brien in quickness in dodg-
ing. Nearly always catching the ban,
he invariably returned it to the tifty-five-
yard line. Many are of the opinion that
he outplays o Brien in every way. The
