LONDON, Mar. 2,

In drizzling weather and beforò 75,000 spectators the International Rugby football match between Scothod and England, played at Murrayfield, Edinburgh, resulted 48 follows:

Scotland Eugland

28 points" 10 points Maintaining the invulnerable tradition of Edinburgh, Scotland had no difficulty in winning tho Gifty-third match between the two countries..

Both defences were very sound, but the Scottish tackling was more decisive, recalling that of Scot- lau's famous Macpherson-Smith combination, which was most suc ceful in giving the English de fence anxious moments.

The greasy ball made handling most difficult.

Scotland led at the interval by 2 points to 13.

The RCOFCE! were-Scotland- Ford, Macpherson, Logan, Mackin Losh and Smith (two tries), of which Allan converted five. Eng- Jand-Tallent (two), and

Reeve (twa), of which Binck converted two. Black also kicked a penalty goal, the final scores being as sinted above.
