England VS.. Scotland. The selected
teams This match was played at New
/ castle this week. but the result so far
is not at hand. However. the game
should be a glorious one, as exceptionally
strong sides represent both the Thistle
and the Rose. As will be seen, there are
n.ne AnglO-ScOtS on the Scottish side. The
! term AnglO-SCOt means Scottish born

Of the crack English professional league

than ever before, but in former years,
though club football was on a lower
plane than is the case today, individual
stars, regular shining lights in socker
clubs and when drawn together would
evolve into a national eleven that would
be almost irresistible and would be world
3eaters. whether for individual or COM
biI1ed play. These players. who, like Saul
kiasgs Of Israel. stood head and shoulders
aF6fs his cOmpeers, are missing today in
ScGXsh football. but in spite Of this fact.
the sFverage play is far higher today than
during the late sos and early SOS, the
palmy days of Scottish national teams.
