RUGBY LEAGUE CUP FINAL Press Association.—Copyright. London, May 6. In the* Rugby League Cup final at Wembley Huddersfield beat Warrington by 21 to 17. Fifty thousand people were present, including the Prince of Wales, who was deputising for the King. Thirtysix special trains brought the northern invasion to see the match. Huddersfield’s victory was chiefly due to Bowkett’s six magnificent goals from all angles. The Warrington men were faster generally and superior in an overwhelming majority of scrums, but the stand-off half, Oster, was ineffective and the team’s goal-kicking was poor, three penalties being missed in the first ten minutes. Nevertheless Warrington led by 10 to 9 at half-time. The second spell saw a terrific struggle and deadly tackling. The Australians Mills and Markham, playing for Huddersfield, were very fast. Mills scored a spectacular try at a critical moment. The New Zealander Seeling, a son of an old All Black, was prominent among the Warrington forwards. The Prince of Wales presented the cup to Huddersfield. Association football results are: First Division. Aston Villa v. Derby County, 2—o. Bolton Wanderers v. Leeds United, s—o. Huddersfield v.
