EDELURAH, December 31st. Rugby playere in Scotland, unlike the professionala of Soccer, take a holiday nt Christmas and New Year time, Most of them are public school men, carry for ward the traditions of their youth, and rest from their labours. There was only one big game played, and for the first time in their history, Glasgow High School F.P.'s defeated Watsonians at Anniesland, Glasgow, hy, the BAYTOW margin of one try to nothing. The con- ditions were deplorable, and the pitch was coated with a liberal sprinkling of Hongkong to Gap Rock N.E. winds, fresh; straw and snow when the "match com. menced, while in the later stages of the game a thin haze of fog made it diffeyli to follow play. In such circumstances accurate hack play was impossible, time and again the Watsonians attempted pass. ing runs, with the almost inevitable result that the moves broke down before any real advantage was gained.

The conditions of play impose a searching BOWERN & CO.,

teat of sinews, stamina, and training systems. The coming cup struggles already cast their shadows. Football agents or astronomers the gentlemen ho, industriously search the soccer hea vens for new stars are tumbling over one another secking that which shall bring to them fame and a certain amount of commission..

In the League, the Rangers have rather spoiled the Championship race by carry ing "the white Bower of a blameless life" too long. If they were to receive a check or two no harm would be done them, and it would revive interest in the competi tion; but they close the old year with a spotless record which disheartens rivals.

La view of the weather conditions- snow, frost, and fog-it would have been to surprise had all the week-end matches been called off. But though the fixtures were duly mplemented the conditions everywhere were difficulty and with play- ers unable to control their feet, or the ball on the slippery and dangerous sur- faces the games were no test of the merits of the antagonists. It was fortunate, therefore, that no freak results were "re- corded, and that matters at top and bot tom in the League were left practically as they were. The insecure footing was redccted in abnormally low goal scoring, nine games in the First League yielding only 11 gcais, and of these seven were scored in two games. Queen's Park and Motherwell sharing four goals and Aber- deen recording three against Clyde. Third Lanark, like Rangers, gained a point sa" opponents' ground, the city tean against Kilmarnock failing to score in their en- counter at Rugby Park. It was the Ayr- shire club's first failure to score in a home game in the prescat campaign. There were four drawn games.
