English and
Scottish, each wore stockings of different colours. This was, in the first
place, to indicate to a player in possession of the ball the positions of
his fellow-players on the field, by watching their pedal extremities; and,
secondly, to enable the spectators to identify a player by his
party-coloured stockings. Cards were issued by the Queen's Park, giving the
teams, and the colours of their stockings. |

Match Report |
Very wet and muddy
Both
teams played with great determination and were almost on an equality,
the Englishmen having but a trifle the best of it, and when time was
called there was little to choose, neither side being able to make any
further score.
The
Scotchmen were good runners and they had a very excellent goalkeeper,
whose office was by no means a sinecure. The Englishmen all played well
but, owing to the greasy nature of the turf, dribbling, which is their
speciality, was almost out of the question. -
