A magazine programme of sports, sports gossip, prospects, and reminiscences
Introduced by R. F. Dunnett
Today's issue of 'At Home to Sportsmen' has an all-Scottish i flavour. R. F. Dunnett , who comperes it, is well known to listeners for his commentaries on boxing and; football, as well as for his wartime accounts of the Canadians arriving' and other exciting events north of the Border.
Andrew Wemyss , who will also be at the microphone, is a favourite broadcaster who is now in the Army.
Although blinded in one eye in the last war, Wemyss recovered sufficiently to win International caps at Rugby and become an outstanding sports figure in Scotland.
On Wednesday Scotland played the Army, and it is hoped that some outstanding player in this match will come to the microphone, and also, if possible, a member of the Scottish Cup Final teams.
