Celtic out of the Eu; The defeat of the famous Celtic soccer team by Kilmarnock was the shock result of Edinburgh Wanderers 8, Hariotonians 14 Glasgow Univ: West Scotland sity 8, 21.—Reuter, because he complained of being hurt. But he was unbruised. He seemed none the worse for the hard going.
He quit because he was definitely beaten—such was the opinion of sports scribes and the crowd. They saw only a mere shadow of the former lethal-fisted youngster who had climbed to the- top over the prostrate bodies of his gloved victims. They saw a Shelaeff who had met his master, both as a boxer and a fighter. They saw a baffled, nervous Shelaeff whose blows glanced off the "Cebu Caveman's" dancing, bobbing body, whose most furious attacks were checked and who in turn had to feel the sting of well-timed, powerfully delivered punches.
And Shelaeff, who had never had an opponent who would stand up and trade blow for blow with him and seem to thrive on it, lost his heart and his courage. He just could not carry on against a man who tied him up at close quarters.
Returning to his corner after he had "mounted the bicycle" in the closing seconds of the seventh round, the Cup games at Home. The Celtic defeated the Killies in a league game by eight goals to nil. They are at the top of the league table whilst Kilmarnock are near the bottom, struggling to avoid relegation. Another unexpected result in Scotland was the defeat of Partick Thistle on their own ground byRaith Rovers, who are leaders of the. Second Division. I had expected a draw here, and the Rovers to win the replay. The Fifers went one better and defeated the "Jags" at Partick. Two games ended in draws, Morton being held to a draw by Ayr United who appear to be specializing in Cup draws, and East Fife held the Aberdeen side to a draw, although the First Division side were expected to, win.
Motherwell defeated Hamilton Academicals and Falkirk had the best win of the day scoring, four goals without reply from Albion Rovers who will be able to concertrate on the question of promotion, now that they have made their exit from the Cup.
Ayr United and Aberdeen should win the replay games during the Every hour, every moment you isa spend real at pleasure week.
