FOOTBALL.
ASSOCIATION IN BRITAIN. (Received This Qay, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, April 30. In an Association football match Queen’s Park defeated Scottish Rangers by one goal to nil. “AN ASTONISHING SUCCESS.” It was noted recently that V. A. Hewitt, who was chosen to play as Ireland’s stand-off half-back in the international Rugby match with Scotland, is a younger brother to T. Hewitt and F. S. Hewitt, who were very prominent hacks for Ireland between 10 and seven years ago, and who retired soon from the game % Now a description arrived by mail of the match in which Ireland beat Scotland by 12 points (four tries) to five (a. converted try) stated that Victor Hewitt had a considerable share in the victory. One report runs: “Hewitt was an astonishing success; he varied the attack with superb judgment and, closing quickly in defence, he brought the line up with him so that the Scotsmen, were unable to develop ideas and! were hurried into mistakes which the Irishmen used as jumping-off points for fresh assaults. The Hewitt family temperament thrives on the big occasion, and had Victor’s more famous brothers been in the, centre, Ireland must have piled up a big score.”
