Match Trivia
A friendly game between these clubs on Kinning Park resulted in favour for the Rangers by 5 goals to 3. The number of points scored shows an apparent superiority of the Rangers against the Battlefield, which Saturday play did not make clear and when it is mentioned that a goal scored by Battlefield was disallowed on the ground of offside while one taken by the Rangers against which exception was taken on similar grounds was allowed, it will be seen that the Langside eleven were rather unfortunate. The Rangers it is but right to state were services of four of their usual team neither of the halfbacks McIntyre, Cameron being present while the goalkeeper Chalmers and Gossland (forward) were also absentees. The play especially during the 1st half pretty evenly balanced the forwards passing on both sides being rather even. For five minutes at the beginning the Rangers had decidedly the best of the play but the game afterwards was open. The junior eleven opened the scoring Walker terminating a good run by slipping the ball past the side of the goalkeeper. This success the Battlefield shortly afterwards followed up by another goal which was neatly taken out of a scrimmage. In this position matters remained till close up on halftime when Inglis for the Rangers headed the ball between the posts from a corner kick. Immediately the ball was kicked off from the centre that the player with the assistance of Pringle worked it to the left of the Battlefield goal and a smart shot from Inglis put both sides on equality. Up till this time the game had been pleasant to players and spectators. On resuming at halftime McHardy who kept goal during the first portion took his place in the centre and almost immediately scored a point for the Rangers. After a few minutes play the game reached a most interesting stage by Wallace kicking the ball from the centre of the field through the Rangers goal. Thus again placed both clubs on an equal footing three goals each. Not long after by fine play the Battlefield from a series of attacks sent the ball between the posts; but a protest on the ground of offside was sustained and thus the goal disallowed. The Rangers now had a turn at their opponents goal and a fourth point was added to their score. A long dispute took place as to the fairness of the goal the Battlefield players contending that the player was offside. The referee however decided the point in favour of the Rangers and after considerable exhibition of feeling by players and spectators the game was resumed. From this till the close the Rangers had the best of the game and before time was called scored a fifth goal. For the winners Reid and Young played steadily at back, as did also Heggie at halfback. The passing of the forwards was not so good as that of their opponents; Inglis however played a grand game through out. Of the junior team it needs only be said that one and all played judiciously Sellers and Walker in the front and Wallace at back being most prominent.
