MAGNIFICENT SAVE
The Englishmen lacked punch and method but they provided a great thrill just before the interval when Bastin centred to Fenton whose shot was pushed out by a magnificent dive- save by Cumming.
Fenton regained possession, but his drive struck the prone goal-keeper. Three more shots during this period i were intercepted by Scottish defen- ders before the ball went out of play. Scotland led by one-nil at half time.

BASTIN'S EFFORT ·
Cumming was tested once more by. Matthews, who had beaten three men in his solo . Bastin came near to scoring following a clean un-through from the half-way line, his final shot going just over the bar.
England zow had a firm grip on the game. They were awarded a free kick just outside the Scottish penalty area, when Hall, in completing a bril- liant solo effort, was brought down just one yard outside. Fenton's kick, however, went wide..
