The Scottish Referee newspaper was disdainful of the changes; stating that although they were a step in the right direction, the changes did not go far enough. It concluded: Indeed, the whole system of scoring as adopted is a survival of the time - the stupid time - when one goal was considered of greater value than any number of tries.https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001876/18910921/009/0002 britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk subscription British Newspaper Archive This is the first season that Glasgow District was scheduled to play South of Scotland District; and that Edinburgh District was again scheduled to play North of Scotland.
