Summary

President Sellar organised this Queen`s Park side and their supporters played the perennial game of working out who was who wearing the hooped jerseys. The Hampden scratch side did well to muffle their much more experienced opponents and only lost a goal to “Trooper” Joe Cassidy in the dying embers of the first half then levelled when young John Hamilton rifled home a 25 yarder when he`d moved out onto the wing.
