Melbourne, Dec. 7
Towards the end Britain sent. M. Gregory's announcement in a corner kick which was placed that he is retiring from big cricket close to the goal mouth-too close, probably, for an ideal shot, but the leather was rushed in and England reduced the advantage.
Scotland were still attacking at the end but there was no further scoring.
