Soccer Team Wait For Band To Play While Opponents Attack
Glasgow, Jani, G.
NINETY THOUSAND excited football fans crowded Ibrox Park, Glasgow, to-day to sea the' match between top-line Scottish teams, Celtio and NIN Glasgow Rangers. Ninety thousand people saw the Soccer comedy of a lifetime, a blunder that nearly cost the Rangers a point.
The two teams took the field. A band walled at the side for a signal. The referee blew his whistle. McGrory, Celile centre forward, kicked off, passed to Delaney, wing man, who dribbled the ball to within twenty yarda of the Rangers" goal.
All the Rangers' men stood sill, at attention, waiting for the band to play the National Anthem unil-a startled Rangers' defender recovered and managed to divert a shot by Delaney, giving him a corner kick,
Celtic did not know of the band's intentions, took the referee's whistle as the signal for the kick-off. Rangers took it as the signal for the band to play.
Rangers won 1-0. Delaney had shot more accurately the result would have been a draw, for the referes would not allow the Rangers" appeal for a new kick-off.

Army "B," who, outside of the K.C.C., have the strongest batting talent in the second division, de- monstrated their ability to make quick runs by playing the University bowling to the tune of 200 for five declared. All of the batsmen made runs. Captain Mitchell headed the 79an attractive, forceful knock, while Whiley (37), Shilpp (33 not out) and Moore (23) added to the Varsity's misery.

of M. C. Hung (20) and C. II. Tech (27) only S. H. Ling could make runs, and his 31 not out was the result of some bold, rather than sound, balting. The other seven batsmen could only harvest 17 runs between them!
