An all-star team of Scottish football players picked from the professional teams in the "auld" land recently completed a tour of Canada and United States where they met the best these countries could offer. Stretching their winning streak to ten straight victories, the Scottish team defeated a picked all- star Eastern Canada eleven at Toronto by six goals to nil. Thus they again conquered the east after crossing Canada with a string of telumphs and running into their stiffest opposition against an all-star western Canada team in Vancouver.
