** EDINBURGH, November 29th. Frost spoiled Rugby, and the North MEETING of the CLUB will be rerius South of Scotland International Trial at Aberdeen narrowly escaped held in the BOARD Roox of Messrs. postponement. All other games had to be JARDINE, MATHESON & CO., LTD., abandoned. The victory of the North, on THURSDAY, the 10th January, 1994, 8 points to 8, was well deserved, and not at 3 F.3. unexpected, for many good judges of the game in the Border district had previ- ously expressed their opinion that the Border Selection Committee had perform- ed their duties in a cariously perfune tory fashion. This was especially the case with the thre-quarters, all of whom might rondily have been improved upon. The North forwark were splendidly led by R. Howie (Kirkcaldy), the old Edin burgh University, Blue and Inter-City player. W. G. R. Findley (Perthshire, who used to play for Glasgow Academi- cals, was also strongly in evidence, and J. MacLeod (Aberdeen Grammar School] – F.P.) was very good... The eight were well together all the time, whereas the South pack were good and bad by turns. The North backt were also a Chappier company. D. M'Gregor (Abordeen Gram- mar School F.P.) who distinguished him self not little in fast year's trials, ber ing the hero of the game, while Webster, on the other wing, abo rendered fino service to his side WE Bryce, the Scottish International, did a power of work behind the scrummage for the losers, but was, far from well supported: W. Moffat. Hawick's whilom forward, was the best of the South's third Lane, He made several good breaks through in the centre, ut invariably finished "wook- . G. L. Pattulle and T. Waddell were both reliable at back, but the 1920 Inter- national is probably the sounder træklər. POSITIONS UNCHANGED IN LEAGUE.
The frost-bound grounds influenced Lèngue fixtures, and the results on tho whole did not affret, the placings of the clubs. The most notable event was that Bangers had to be satisfied with a draw. It was their fourth this season, and they Their have yet to suffer a reverse, opponents were from Airdrie, who ro Lain second place, and the game was of good quality all through, despite the treacherous footing. Baith Rovers drew with Hearts, the Fife club being slightly below recent form. Dundee, visitors to
Hamilton, also forced a draw. Celtic at Paisley gained the full reward. Queen's Park have had a run of bad luck, and are second from the bottom of the table. THE FRICE OF A FOOTBALL PLAYER-
The rumoured transfer, at a record price, something in the neighbourhood of £10,000, of Andy Wilson, the great Scot- tish International footballer, from Mid- dlesbrough to Chelson, brings to the front once again the peculiarities of foot- ball finance. There are a multitude of limitations in regard to the financial considerations which a player may re ceive, but in the trafficking between Clubs for particular men there is no monetary restriction. As a result, it often happens that a player is sold by one Club to another for a sum for in excess of what the player can ever hope to card from the cleverness which makes him so valuable. To the layman,, who anot fathom the why and wherefores of football legislation, it would appear that a great player who appears before tens of thousands of spectators at each match is as much entitled to make a fortune out of his art as a famous singor or pianist, As things are, however, he is the one person who can never amass wealth out of his cleverness, though a Club cau.
