History

The scoring was tweaked again this season, to give greater emphasis on try-scoring. A 'goal' - a try and conversion - remained 5 points; but the try was now greater value than the conversion (3pts to 2pts).

Glasgow District beat Edinburgh District in the Inter-City match.[1] The gate money was estimated at £150.[2] The Scottish Referee noted that it was unfortunate that Glasgow District's and West of Scotland FC's player Charles Nicholl was not eligible for Scotland.[3]

The North of Scotland v South of Scotland match was called off due to the frost.[4]
