Abstract.
Let k be an infinite field of prime characteristic and let r be a positive integer. Using admissible decompositions, we determine explicitly the entries of the decomposition matrix of the Schur algebra S(2, r) over k and prove that any two blocks with the same number of simple modules have the same decomposition matrix and hence the same Cartan matrix.
