SCOTLAND WINS

INTERNATIONAL RUGSY DROPPED GOALS AT END OF GAME BEAT ENGLAND. A REMARKABLE DECISION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Reuter’s Telegram. (Received March 22, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 21. At Edinburgh 60,000 people saw Scotland beat England: by 14 points to 11. Scotland thus win the -Calcutta Cup for the international championship. The weather was bright, following light falls of snow in the morning. The early scrums were fought with great spirit. Scotland attacked, hut play was oarried to the' Scottish line, where Scotland were penalised, and Luddington kicked a fine goal. Nelson scored- for Scotland under the bar, Drysdale converting, just before the interval. Hamilton-Wickes scored a glorious try for England, and Luddington converted. The half-time score was:— England 8 points Scotland 6 points Five minutes after the resumption Wakefield scored a try for England. No kick at goal took place, for after the Scottish forwards had rushed out, and stopped, they went on and kicked the ball away. As the referee had blown his whistle for no-charge, the decision is inexplicable. Three minutes later A. C. Wallace scored for Scotland in the corner, and Gillies converted. The Scottish forwards now were playing splendidly, and Biigland were sorely pressed. Five minutes before the finish Waddell dropped a goal for Soot, land, and won the match. Scotland 14 points England 11 points
