  LAFAYETTE PILES UP SCORE Swarthmore Unable to Cope with Eastonians’ Attack. Easton, Penn, Oct. S.-ln one or the best and cleanest games that have been played on March Field In some time Lafayette defeated Swathmore this al ternoon by score of 10 TO o. That the score was not greater was due simply to the clever way in which the Garnet team manipulated its defence, for the attack OF the Eastonians was strong, varied ana brilliant In every period OF the game Iafavette outplayed the little Quakers, but only two touchdowns did the Eastonians score. The whole Lafayette attack was built around Scheeren. This giant fulloack scored IS OF the 10 points, and rarely dlu he fail TO gain when called upon. Next TO him in magnitude stood Kennedy. who, until to-day, was distinctly scrub player, mere experiment on the varsity.

  BIG COLLEGE ELEVENS ANTICIPATE NO SETBAcks All Line Up Against Teams of Lesser Ability Today. New York, Oct. 1.-The football horizon, viewed from the standpoint of the big university teams of the east, is unmarked by single threatening cloud on the eve of the week end games Almost without exception the elevens of the leading institutions face teams the football ability of which Is such that the contests scarcely rise above the plane of a practice match. ] In one or two cases minor college teams which year ago caused grid iron upsets, meet the same opponents have dropped to a mediocre standard and cannot hope to repeat the victories of 1912. The United States military academy eleven appears to have drawn the hardest opponent of the day in Col gate. The upstate collegians have been playing a fast smashing game since the season opened with the no-score tie against Cornell. Against Amherst and Hobart the Colgate eleven ran up a combined score of 69 to and the army in facing Stevens and Rut- gers has not met with a team cap able of trying the soldiers as Col gate may be expected to do. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania are all called upon to face much weaker teams than the West Pointers. The Crimson will line up against Holy Cross, which was de- feated by Yale, 10 to 0. in the Elis second game of the season. Prince ton has Syracuse as an opponent and the Salt City university eleven has shown nothing startling in its three games to date Pennsylvania will en- certain the Brown university team, but the Providence combination is but a shadow of the eleven which defeated the Quakers 30 to in 1912. Lehigh will play Yale at New Ha- ven and judging from the way the team held Carlisle to q 21 to vic tory should give the Blue good bat tle although the Ellis have apparently gone back to Yale’s first football prin ciples and are succeeding reasonably well under original methods. At Ith aca, Cornell will play Buc1nell, which succeeded in scoring on Princeton a week ago. The Lewisburg team is one of the strongest of the minor Pennsylvania college eIevens and will undoubtedly prove an excellent test as to the progress of Cornsu under the coaching of Sharpe. In the second flight of eastern elev- ems the two most promising games are Lafayette vs. Swarthmore and Dart mouth vs. Williams. Both Lafayette and Swarthmore played Penn syIvania on succeeding Saturdays, being de feated 10 and 20 to c, respectively. Allowing for the weeks improvement called upon to face the Quakers, it would appear as though the two teams were about evenly matched. Both Dartmouth and Williams have defeat ed Vermont this season and using this game as a basis of comparison there appears to be a slight advantage in favor of Dartmouth The principal games of Saturday in the east, west and south, with scores of 1912, follow: East. Holy Cross at Harvard, c to 19 Lehigh at Yale, no game. Syracuse at Princeton, 0 to 62. Bucknen al Cornell, 0 to 14. Brown at Pennsylvania 30 to T. Carlisle at Pittsburgh, 45 to 0. SWarthmore at Lafayette, 9 to 0. Colgate at Army. to IS. Dickinson at Navy, no game. Williams at Dartmouth, 0 to 21. Amherst at Trinity, 15 to 0. West. Iowa at Chicago, 14 to 34 Northwestern at Illinois. ito 0. Michigan Agricultural at Michigan, { to 55 Wisconsin at Purdue. 5 to 0. Minnesota at Nebraska, Is to O. Ohio at Oberlin, g to r. South.
