Royal Scots Defeat Police 3-2 At Boundary Street: Fine Defence Keeps Score
(By "SCRAMBLER") .
Down
DISPLAYING PERFECT COMBINATION, Royal Scots defeated the Police yesterday at Boundary Street in the last senior league encounter of the season by the odd goal in five after leading by two clear goals in the first half. There was plenty of good football to be had, alf supplied by the Scots, who were in one of their best forms of the season.
The Police were never allowed to settle down to any' co-ordinated play, the Scots' defence being on top most of the game.
They had so to speak, the Police attacks bottled, and during the first half, the Guardians of the Law were mostly on the defensive. Good work on the part of Pope, aided and abetted by North and Blackburn prevented a heavier score,
Holding to Auld's first time shot.

Immediate latter part of the match he after, Tsang Wing did well in pulled off many a spectacular save. He was helped to a great extent by Naysmith and Fraser, and these two players did not allow the Police attack to settle down at all to any constructive play.
Supported by a sound pair of backs, the Scots intermediate trio had matters their way, and were able to concentrate to a great degree on their attack, allowing the opposition

Howlett was not allowed to do much, being too closely guarded by the backs that
gave nothing away. Ferrier was the harder worker of the two insidemen, although Coull showed up now and again with flashes of brilliance. The two wingers were slow, and often wasted golden opportunities by delaying their centres.
