Match Trivia

The 16,000 spectators on the football field were aware last night that a victory for the Danish team over the world’s best football players, Glasgow Rangers, would be very valuable to our people. The audience, who were heartily delighted by the good fight, there eagerly encouraged our eleven to win. Bur encouragement were not enough. The Scots played their excellent game and only allowed the Danish forwards to kick the ball three times in three periods. All Glasgow Rangers are wonders of technique and speed. Before ours had thought about it, as a rule the nearest Scot had acted – always resolutely. Quick on the move, quick to pass or shoot and threating in combination, Glasgow Rangers impressed yesterday, which perhaps no one has impressed is the Danish football team. If anyone is to be singled out from the Rangers, it must be the two wings of which Morton is the left man, was the best and will not have his equal anywhere on the globe. Right, Archibald, was a great juggler, but irresistible. Otherwise, backs didn’t give wings much, and if it applies to all the Rangers, they not only had a strange following with an admirable ability to always be two men on the ball – without once getting in each other’s ways. Danish players were strangle laughed ay by this tactic and rarely got the ball. Mockery and Harm! Glasgow Rangers are likeable, strong, almost tough people and still very fast. You understand that these intelligent artist on the pitch have been almost invincible even in Scotland and are not without good reason admired everywhere in the world where football is played. It was an experience even for an old football referee to see them.
