on to-day's Final

We suggest you place a firm order

for MONDAY'S

SCOTTISH DAILY MAIL

East or West — Wha's Best? TO-DAY we have a Scottish Cup Final that captures the imagination not only of the keen club supporters, ' but of football followers in general—a meeting of East versus West—of Edinburgh versus Glasgow—of two teams capable of making it a game of games.

On form, there is nothing much to separate the teams. Hearts, as they have demonstrated in recent games, are capable of rising to the heights of artistry and goal scoring and the Celtic boys are always at their best when fight­ing to retain or regain th: trophy.

It is something of a " Jubilee " occasion for the Edinburgh club. Can they also make it a " jubilation " one by parading the Cup in triumph along Princes Street !

Fifty years ago Hearts last won the Cup in season

1905/06. and they appeared in the Final a year later. On that occasion they we, e beaten by their opponents of to-day. But the Tynecastle boys are determined that history will not repeat itself this afternoon. Indeed, they hope to start a new chapter in Cup history in which the Hearts will figure prominently.

Let's recall those 1907 teams—

Hearts—Allan; Reid and Collins; Philip. McLaren and Henderson; Bauchop and Walker; Axford ; Yates and Wombwell.

Celtic—Adams; McLeod and Orr; Young, McNair and Hay; Bennett and McMenemy; Quinn; Somers and Templeton.

HEARTS' SEVEN Altogether Hearts have appeared in

seven Scottish Cup Finals, including this afternoon's. They have won the Cup on four occasions. Here are the dates and the results—

1891—Hearts I Dumbarton 0 1896—Hearts 3 Hibernian I 1901—Hearts 4 Celtic 3 1903—Hearts 0 Rangers 2 1906—Hearts I Third Lanark 0 1907—Hearts 0 Celtic 3

Mr. NICOL. KILGOUR,

Chai rman, Hear t s F .C.

From 1906 to 1956 is quite a gap, but the Capital got some consolation last season when the Tynecistle men carried the League Cup home in triumph. They have had many near-attempts. There was, for instance, that " record book " semi-final in 1952 when it took three games to separate Hearts and Motherwell.

In the first game, Alfie Conn scored for Hearts and Watson for the 'Well. In the second Rutherford was the Hearts scorer and Watson again saved the day for Motherwell. On the third occasion Shaw, Humphries and Red path carried Motherwell into the final against, a soli­tary Hearts goal scored by Alfie Conn.

Record in Figures Motherwell went on to win the Cup,

beating Dundee by four clear goals. In that third game the Hearts team

was—Brown; Parker and McKenzie; Glidden, Milne and Laing; Rutherford and Conn; Bauld; Wardhaugh and Urquhart.

That semi-final created a record aggregate attendance, no fewer than 238,044 spectators seeing the three games. The drawings totalled £16,560. These figures are exceeded only by the Rangers-Morton Final of 1948 when 265,199 saw the two games.

In 1953 Hearts were back at Hampden in 1953,

this time with Rangers as their semi-final opponents. That tie attracted 116,262 to the classic slopes. But once again the Tynecastle hopes were dashed when Rangers won 2-1.

Hearts team that day was—Watters; Parker and Adie; Laing, Dougan and Armstrong; Rutherford and Conn; Bauld; Wardaugh and Cumming.

When that invitation comes for an

evening out it's no use telling your

wife, " I'd like to go dear, but I've

nothing to wear." Like most wives,

she knows that you've only to take

that shabby crumpled suit to One-

Day Cleaners — and in a day or two

it will be smart and fresh again,

ready to play its part in the social

round. After all, how does she keep her own clothes so spick and span ?

IA# H AT can we say of Celtic's Scottish Cup record that has not been said before ? Here they are, again in the Fina! for the third successive time, determined to regain the Trophy. Indeed, the Parkhead sideboard

must seem empty without it. _ '

1951—Hunter; Fallon and Rollo; Evans. Boden and Baillie; Weir and Collins; McPhail; Peacock and Tully.

1954—Bonnar; Haughney and Meechan; Evans, Stein and Peacock; Higgins and Fernie; Fallon; Tully and Mochan.

The first Scottish Cup Final was played in season 1873-74. Queen's Park were the first winners, indeed, they won it for the first three years. Celtic first appeared on the Cup scene in 1892 when their opponents were Queen's Park. Since then, including to-day's game, they have figured in altogether 27 finals and have won the Cup on 17 occasions.

W. FERNIE, Celtic

1955 (r e p l a y )—Bonnar; Haughney and Meechan; Evans, Stein and Peacock; Walsh and Fernie; Fallon; McPhail and Tully.

Fallon, Tully, Peacock and Evans are out for a hat-trick in Cup medals. They appeared in the winning teams in 1950/51 and 1953/54.

There's little more that can be said—• except to congratulate the Celtic who, from the Chairman of the club down­wards, are truly a team of talent and achievement.

Chairman, Celtic F.C.

This is also quite a day for Mr. Tommy Walker. At the third attempt he has managed (in both its senses) to take his beloved Hearts into the Final, a game he did not manage to make himself, despite the great teams the Tynecastle club fielded when he himself was a player.

Tommy will feel truly king of the castle if his boys succeed to-day. And his emotions will be shared in full by the Hearts directorate, presided over by Mr. Nicol Kilgour; and the other tireless " behind-the-scenes " men.
