BADLY TROUNCED
London, To-day.
York City's glorious reign in the FA Cup competition came to an end yesterday, when, in their replayed Sixth Round encounter, against Huddersfield, with whom they were featured in a goalless draw last Saturday, they were beaten by 2 goals to 1.
Several replays in the Third Round of the Scottish Cup Com- petition were also held, Ayr eliminating Morton by 4 goals to 1 in a home encounter after sharing two goals, on Saturday, while East Fife caused a major sensation in beating Aberdeen by the odd goal in three, in an away encounter.
