Trivia
- Celtic started brightly with a goal from Frank O'Donnell but Jimmy Marshall equalised just before half-time. Celtic's makeshift forward line, which included debutant George Paterson, found Rangers too much for them in the second half, and keeper John Wallace and Jimmy McStay were under almost constant pressure before Dublin-born Ireland international Alex Stevenson scored a controversial winner for Rangers just before the end.
- Rochdale F.C. made an important "capture" yesterday, when they secured from Liverpool the transfer of Danny McRorie, the Scottish international outside, right. McRorie, formerly played for Greenock Morton when they were in the first Division of the Scottish League and it was while he played for this club that he represented Scotland against Wales.
- Prominent cricket administrators keenly regret the comment made in the British Press by Harold, Larwood, of Nottingham, the originator of “body-line” bowling, and George Duckworth, the Lancashire wicketkeeper, on the ongoing exchange between the M.C.C. and the Australian Board of Control. The comment of certain Australians in the Australian Press is also regretted. Note.—Larwood is reported to have said:—" If I am picked for the Test match with the Australians next year I shall bowl leg theory when the wicket is right, unless I am expressly ordered not to do so. And I do not think the M.C.C. will ever order me or anyone else not to bowl to a packed leg trap”.
- A new record of 7 days, 4 hours, 47 minutes, for a flight from England to Australia has been established by Air Commodore Sir Charles Kingsford Smith.

GLASGOW CUP RELAY
RANGERS FOR FINAL
RANGERS, 2; CELTIC, 1.
Rangers were the better team in the Glasgow Cup semi-final replay at Ibrox Park yesterday and well deserved to qualify to meet Clyde, in the final at Hampden on Saturday.
With the wind in their favour in the first half, Celtic held their own well and scored first through F. O'Donnell. Marshall equalised near the interval, and in a one-sided second half Stevenson scored the winning goal.
Celtic's defence stood up manfully after the interval, to persistent Rangers’ attacks, and Wallace in goal saved brilliantly on many, occasions. Hogg and McGonagle also showed determination and resource, but the half-backs were often beaten by the clever Rangers forwards.
The rearranged Celtic forward line, from which McGrory, Buchan, and Thomson were absent, played with any amount of spirit in the first half, but fell away. Rangers were a balanced team, in which the defence was very sound.
Brown was the best half-back, on the field, and Simpson was strong in defence. The forwards played some very clever football, with Main, at outside right, specially smart on the ball. Marshall made a dashing centre, and McPhail and Nicholson were a fine wing until the latter was injured.
The attendance was 24,000.
"There were spells when every Ranger, with the exception of Dawson, was up in Celtic territory, but beyond a shot from Brown, which Wallace touched over the bar, they never looked like scoring. And then, with five minutes to go, Wallace made a weak clearance, the ball went to Stevenson, who wedged it between the post and the goal keeper, and it rolled over the line before it was cleared. The referee was correct in disregarding Celtic protests."
