an certain the date can be arranged.
Yale likes to play just this kind Of

It Is doubtful if an Eastern game

At no time was there much doubt as to

showed glimpses Of real form.

1t took exactly eleven minutes for
SWarthmore 10 make their first score.
George Washington won the toss and re-
ceived the kickoff, Kraft carrying the
oval back 25 yards before being tackled.
Swarthmore held for downs. and Witten
fumbled. Swarthmore suffered several
penalties, and finally lost the ball. Witten
again punting out of danger.
Play Straight Football.
Swarthmore resorted to straight foot
ball, finding a big pole In the center Of
the line, which they went through al
most at will Pritchard went over for
the touchdown. A goal from field and
another touchdown were also scored IN
this half
The second half proved a duplicate os
the first, fifteen points being scored in
exactly the same way.
Only one substitution was made In the
Buff and Blue lineup, Maxey taking Nc
Dermots place at quarter back in the
last minute Of the play. Swarthmore's
numerous substituuons in the second half
kept an almost fresh team in during the
entire session, and We're directly respOn-
