Scotland, each side scored a goal. People to the number or loU,uuu were present, and 50,000 would-be spectators were turned away. The gate was a record one. Ihe sum of £7,000 was taken at the gates. . • j • Forty spectators were injured in the crush. aMMMN* Of the twenty-five British footballers who sail for New Zealand early in April (remarks the "Athletic News"), no fewer than five are Somerset players—a remarkable proportion for one county to provide. Four of them are forwards—R. Dibble, the Bridgwater Albion international man, who has made several appearances for England, and is temporarily relinquishing his responsibilities as a local boniface for the trip, Percy Down, of Failand, who is throwing up his employment in Bristol for the tour; G. V. Kyrke, the old Marlburian and Yeomanry subaltern, just through his legal examinations; and H. G. Archer, who is finishing a course of medical studies at Guy s Hospital. The fifth is H. H. Vassall, the Oxford centre-three-quarter back, who should be a big asset for the tourists in the- back division.
