MURRAYFIELD CLASH THIS AFTERNOON IRELAND LEADING TABLE AT PRESENT
SCOTS MAKE THREE CHANGES
(By "REFEREE")
THE climax to the 1934-5 International Rugby season will take place at Murrayfield this afternoon when Scotland entertain England, the holders, in their 57th encounter in the historic "Calcutta Cup" series. The result of this match will decide the championship.
Many of those interested in the clash between " Scotland and England may wonder why the trophy awarded to the winners is known as the
Calcutta Cup.":
It was presented by the Calcutta Football Club, on their dis- bandment in 1878, when the balance of the funds remaining was devoted to the purchase of a challenge cup to be competed for an- nually by the English and Scottish Rugby Football Unions.
The idea was suggested by their founder and Secretary, G. A. Rothney, who died about 10 years ago. The cup Is of silver, and,. being of Indian workmanship, the design is elaborate and striking.. During the last 10 years, Scot- land have won the Calcutta Cup on Rix occasions, England three times and one encounter¦ was ' scoreless..
