Notes

Player Injury"About fifteen minutes before the game closed C. Campbell, who had been playing grandly in front of goal, got himself hurt, and had to retire, and it is worthy of note that after that unfortunate incident...Scotland lost two goals...Ker was brought up from the centre and put in Campbell's place, but whenever he saw the other fowards getting down in a run the infatuation was too much for him, and he joined in the chase, leaving three men to do the work of four."
