Match Report	Report from the North Star. King's Own Scottish Borderers 0 Ross County 0 That a re-organised County side was able to reveal remarkable form against the soldiers at Fort George clearly shows that the Ross side has regained its lost confidence, and that several of its players have recovered their best form. It is decidedly refreshing that the improvement should have taken place at this particular time, when the outlook for the coming season was not too bright. Not only was the game notable for the County’s worthiness in securing a well-merited goalless draw, but it had other outstanding features. The polished display of Cowie at right-half was notable, while Barney, a Beauly junior, gave every promise of solving, through time and experience, the outside-left problem. But, although these players’ success stood out very prominently, other performances were particularly noticeable. The many brilliant tussles between Aird and Lewin were incidents that raised more than ordinary enthusiasm, and the fact that the soldier custodian had to—and did—show excellent form, goes to show how rampant the County centre was. In the first half, only two successful and daring dives by Lewin to snatch the ball off Aird’s foot prevented certain goals. The predominating factor of the County’s success lay in the soundness of their intermediate line, for Cowie, Urquhart, and Garrow were a resourceful trio. The forcefulness of Urquhart was throughout the origin of such a telling amount of good constructive work down the centre that Aird, who was very lively, was repeatedly the main danger to an opposing defence that got little time to rest on its laurels. Although Cowie and Garrow were more restrained in their methods, they were as effective in keeping their clubmates in front and in action. The soldiers' forwards were seldom allowed to get into their usual style, and their attacks were generally based on individual rather than collective lines, which afforded Anderson an opportunity to give a sparkling display of well-conceived defensive play. Muirden, in goal, was not called upon nearly so often to rise to the occasion as his contemporary Lewin.
