Match Trivia
One has the ciliary in criticism of this game. There were so many incidents, some of a kind not at all creditable to those who figured in them, nut it will serve its purpose to refer to them, and leave those who saw the match to form their own conclusion. Right away at the start it was evident, that force was going to figure somewhat prominently. There may have been delinquents on both sides, but at any rate the home men were the more serious sufferers, and the treatment accorded Magner was of a kind far from creditable to the winning team. Very likely an element of luck forced itself into the Rangers three goals, for the reason that two of them were scored off successive corners, in the scoring of which O’Hagan had no chance to save. The redeeming feature of the match were all showed in the second half, when play ruled evenly, marred only, as had been said by the special treatment accorded the Saints’ centre. For the winning team, all certainly played a strong bustling game. Smith was the prettiest played on the field and gave a faultless exhibition. Among the home men, only Cole and Snoddy reproduced anything like what was expected of the team. Reid, for a winder, was shaky, and Pearson and Stevenson suffered somewhat in their play from the tousy methods prevailing. Almost on the call of time, Lock when taking a bye kick fell, his leg giving way, and he was carried from the field
