Match Trivia
There was a gratifying attendance at the Charity Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, close on 15,000 patronising the match. With the exception of Hendry for Galt, who was injured, the Ibrox club had out the same eleven as beat Clyde on Wednesday, and they qualified for the final with less difficulty then the score would indicate. In the first half, with the sun and wind in their favour, the Queen’s opened well, and for a considerable time the game was well contested. Lock had to handle from Ramsay once or twice, Drummond and McKenzie also having tries at the Rangers goal, but as the game progressed the League champions asserted themselves and did most of the attacking. After Reid had struck the post with a fast shot and, in the goalmouth, contrived to lift a fine centre of Hogg’s over the bar, he at last got the only goal of the game with a characteristic effort. With the exception of a very rare breakaway by the Queen’s the second half consisted of a long series of attacks by the Light Blues, and the fact that they failed, although frequently by the narrowest margin, to add to their score, reflects greatly to the credit of the entire Amateurs defence. Brebner, who was in brilliant form, and Pursell, who gave a fine display at right back, were mainly responsible for the Rangers failing to find the net again. Had the match depended on corners the Rangers held a long lead in this respect. For the winners Gordon and Chapman were prominent, the latter in the second half nearly knocking Brebner off his feet with the best shot of the match. Smith and Hogg were lively and clever on the wings, and Bennett puzzled his opponents by his clever and elusive moving. Among the Queen’s forwards Ramsay gave a very taking display, his footwork and dodging being a treat. Drummond was also very smart, and Low, who has a fine turn of speed, put in some dashing work in the left. The line suffered from lack of weight
