Match Trivia
There was great and loud dissatisfaction among the approx. 15,000 spectators because Glasgow Rangers had not put Carl Hansen in the team last night, an indignation that honestly seems to us a little lost. However, it becomes a matter of the Scots which team they want to set up and when they want to make a decision in this regard, and the organizers you can probably not ask for more than that, as soon as the Scots had definitively set up the team and gave that information, posters were printed for hanging at all entrances to the pitch with the name of the entire Scottish team. Something completely different is that we would have found it quite natural if the Rangers management had met the organizers wish that Carl Hansen should play yesterday, as we assume that such a wish had been made. However, the Scots wanted to test their new signing from Cowdenbeath, Smith in the centre square, and his debut was a success in so far as he had the luck to score the only goal of the game, and thus the winning goal, which feat earned him congratulations from several of the players, and from those who did not of their own accord to shake hands, he picked up the seal of hatred. The Scots started with a mighty pace and immediately put Frigast to work, and it turned out that the keepers’ hands were right on him. Immediately after the picture changed, and Berth yesterday had as good a day as ever, sent a striking shot towards the Scottish goal. Manderson headed the ball in the air, after which goalkeeper Robb grabbed it and dispatched it away, right up to the centre line, where Erhard Jensen stopped it with his hands. The visitors could not keep up the fast pace, and the game took shape through a fairly even half, but few of the many chances by both parties contained any real danger. The shots that fell closest to the stand were usually so small that they didn’t put people like Robb and Frigast in trouble, even if the sidekicks once indulged in something extravagant and extremely foolhardy, thanks to Vilh Jorgensen’s spiritedness – he braked at the right moment – and created a solid chance. The only goal of the half and the match came in the last minute headed by centre-forward Smith from a centre by the left wing. The second half, there is not much to say about this other than the Danosh attack appeared even more sluggish then in the first half. Ernst Nilsson had a half-good shot, Viggo Jorgensen had a real chance from a pass from Henry Hansen, bit he ruined the offer. The most remarkable situation of the half was a free kick against Robb, who had holding the ball for too long, which situation gave rise to an extremely high-comic Pantomime between Referee and the Scottish defenders, who were unable to retreat the legally mandated yards from the ball. It obviously did not result in a goal. After a short moment, the whistle blew, and the Scots had won. Glasgow team stood tall with Newcastle but did not reach Huddersfield in efficiency. Best seemed to us was Robb in goal, McCandless and Nicholson and back and half-back.
