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.

What could be more appropriate on the evening following the Blue Riband of jumping than some Grand National memories by a jockey who won the great race triree times? Ernest Piggott rode Jerry M to victory in 1912 and scored two years in succession on Poethlyn, in 1918 and 1919-a feat achieved by neither man nor horse in recent times. Captain Eric Rickman (' Robin Goodfellow ' of the Daily Mail) will also come to the microphone to say a few words about some of the Grand Nationals he has seen.

Preston North End v. Aston Villa at Sheffield
Recorded extracts from a commentary on the match by Ivan Sharpe and Huddersfield v. Sunderland at Blackburn
An eye-witness account of the match by T. Cragg
Apart from the intrinsic interest in broadcasts of matches in the struggle for the F.A. Cup, there is a secondary interest today in two very different methods of handling the broadcasts.
In the case of the match between
Preston North End and Aston Villa listeners will hear recorded extracts from Ivan Sharpe 's actual commentary given this afternoon to Empire listeners. In the case of the match between Huddersfield and Sunderland they will hear an eye-witness account by T. Cragg.
Which is preferred? The drama of the commentary given in all the hurry and excitement of watching the game when there is no time to think of words, or the comprehensiveness and conciseness of the eye-witness account which there has been time to prepare ? It may well be that each method gains and loses something, and that each will have its adherents.
