Tre Game in Brief

At the start there was nothin between the sides. It was a hard. fast-moving game, in which. the forwards were getting through the half-backs, without being allowed tos near the goalkeepers. At length, Tunstall crossed' the ball, and Kelly met it with his head and Harper was beaten. Then came the equaliser, Cunningham crashing home a terrific drive after Taylor had saved from Lawson. Before half-time England had resumed the lead; again Tunstall was the maker of the goal, though this time it was Watson who met the ball low down with his head and scored..So England went in at half-time with a lead that on play was hardly deserved.

When play was resumed the Scots were anything but convincing. But they did one thing, they distribu ed the ball better, and by giving Lawson more to do they developed a weakness in the English defence. Wadsworth began to falter, and Wilson profited by this to do his first good thing in the match and score the equalizing goal. The Middlesborough player thus maintained his record of having scored in every one of this season's Internationals taken part in by Scotland.

THE LEAGUE, There were few games that mattered in a short league card. By defeating Aberdeen, Albion Rovers made useful points, and it will now be a scramble between them and Hamilton as to which will suffer re. legation. Alloa is already doomed.
