ing to play two men short and also hav-
ing to play several substitutes. being
without the sterling services of Soper

had not the weather been so uncertain.
1t is hoped that another match can be
arranged between the champions, and a
full eleven recruited from the English
ranks. 1t was rather an unsatisfactory
win for Scotland and a disappointing
end to the League matches, which hith-
erto have been so evenly contested.

From good play by Munro and Kay. Gou-
die got the ball and added another goal
for his side: Scotland 8. England /.
Davies was hurt at this stage and was
placed in goal. Parrish then moved out
to center forward. The "Hoot Mons
kept up their aggressive tactics and
made several forward rushes, Cation.
Goudie and Cockburn all doing good
work, and from one of these Goudie add
ed another goal; Scotland 4, England 1.
The Englishmen were now playing
against fate, but nevertheless played
with great determination, Blackman and
Lansdale in particular doing splendid
fielding for their side.
One hot shot by Kay was neatly saved
by the injured goal-keeper Davies, who
played very pluckily In spite of being
hurt.
Goudie scored another goal and the
game ended in favor of Scotland by
five goals to one.
Fenwick had little to do but was al
ways ready for work. Kay, Munro, Nc
Gill and Lennox all played will.
d. w. Anderson and Captain Anderson,
McGill and Bottomley all played their
usual solid games.
D. w. Anderson in particular played a
fine defensive game. Cation and Cock
burn were in fine fettle, while Goudie,
the center forward, played a rafting
good game from start to finish, scoring
four out of five goals.
For England the efforts of Sinclair.
Blackman, Davies, Parrish, Irvine and
Lansdale were admirable, Blackman
playing one of the best games of the
season.
Cummings and Guild officiated as line
umpires, and the referees whistle was
in the hands of ]. H. Fiddes, who gave
satisfaction to both teams
The refereeing in this match was of a
style that would find favor if carried
out in all football Matches Possessing
a good knowledge of the game and being
a sterling player himself, Fiddes kept
the game well under his contre! and Sc
verely penalized all back-charging and
foul plays on both sides.
The record of the Scotch team is a
fine one. The boys have played four
matches and won four. They have scor-
ed no less than twenty goals and only
four have been registered against them.
The score speaks well for the dash and
athletic abilities of the forward division
and also for the fine defense of the
backs.
Out OF the twenty goals, Goudie heads
the list with seven to his credit, Munro
comes next with four, Fiddes and Kay
divide honors with three each, and Cat
ton and Cockburn have scored two each.
