Scotland v. England
A running commentary on the second half of the game by Marjorie Pollard from New Myreside, Edinburgh
Matches between England and Scotland have been played since 1902, with a break only during the years 1915 to 1919. Scotland has won only twice, in 1909 and 1933, while the game in 1905 was drawn.
The teams this year are, however, very evenly matched, as England has lost some of her forwards who have been a thorn in Scotland's side for several years, and the forward line that will play in Edinburgh is rather experimental.
Marjorie Pollard , who is to give the commentary, has played for England 37 times. She first played for the Midlands in 1921, and except for 1929 and 1930, when she ' retired ', she has played in every game since. In 1932 she scored all six goals in the England v. Wales match, and in 1927 thirteen goals against Wales, twelve against U.S.A., and seven out of the eight against Ireland.
