Match Trivia
William Sellar Benefit Match, Everybody was pleased to see such a splendid turnout at Hampden Park last night when the Rangers and Queen’s Park paid tribute to Mr Wm Sellar. The game was an excellent one, and the refreshing display of the amateurs in the first half particularly would be encouraging to their patrons after the defeat at Dumbarton. The Queen’s players comported themselves splendidly against a strong team put on the field by the Rangers, and were well worthy the 3-1 lead they held at the interval. The amateurs opened their account early. Two minutes from the start Greehin on the right by a brilliant effort, reached a ball that seemed certain to go past and from his cross Morton in the centre headed a goal. The right winger immediately afterwards was again in evidence with smart play, and a hard drive was just a trifle off the mark. A continuance of their opening dash brought the Queen’s another goal ten minutes later, Wilson in a melee at goal, following a corner kick, being the scorer, Hempsey again was fortunate to reach a cross from Greehin. He flung himself full-stretch at the ball as a couple of Hampden forwards were in waiting to clinch the effort. The Rangers improved, and Bowie gave Reid a chance close in, bur the centre shot wide. Ramsay, the Ibrox inside left, grazed the bar with a lightning drive, and then the home attack had another brisk spell of attacking. The Rangers’ custodian was in the wars, but speedily recovered, and just in time to save a scorcher under the bar from Garvie, who was in great fettle. Five minutes from the interval combined play by Gordon and Bowie resulted in the latter reducing the Rangers’ leeway. The ‘Light Blues’ were the superior side in the second half, but although they eventually won by the odd goal, the amateurs with the least luck might have secured a draw. Porter had a magnificent save from one of Reid’s best at close range, but he failed to reach a raking low shot by Gordon from 25 yards range. The shot of the evening was put in by Hector McKenzie from fully 40 yards distance, which just topped the crossbar. Morton, the Queen’s centre, after working his way cleverly through, failed to beat Hempsey almost in the goal-mouth. Brown, after Logan, had brought the ball through secured the winning goal. Porter, who kept a fine gaol for the losers, was unfortunately lamed near the close, and had to be assisted off. J West at right back was a success in the first half, but Brown’s speed was too much for him in the second, and more should have been made out of the left-winger’s numerous dangerous centres. Bowie shared forward honours with Brown. Gordon was the nappies half-back, although Logan showed his adaptability by doing well in the left position. Ormonde was safe enough at back, but did not kick well. Muir’s fielding was better. Of the Queen’s Purcell played another promising game, and the middle line was improved beyond recognition by Hector McKenzie. Garvie did splendidly in front, and Risk stretched Gordon and Ormonde, which is saying a good deal
