CUP FOR TOWN
Leeds United Lose at Home : Penalty Missed.
Huddersfield Town defeated Leeds United in the sixteenth final for the West Riding F.A. Senior Cup by the only goal scored in the match, at Elland Road on Saturday, before about 10,000 spectators. United were the holders of the trophy, which, after the match, was presented to Wilson, the Town captain, by Councillor C. V. Walker, the Deputy Lord Mayor of Leeds. Both elevens received medals. Huddersfield were below normal strength, as both Goodall (back) and R. Kelly (forward) were not available. Continuing a search for a capable centre forward, the Town directors experimented with Alec Jackson in that position,The experiment was hardly a success for Jackson is too much of a rover to lead a front line. Leeds were more often on the attack than their opponents. They controlled the play for long periods, but the ball eluded the men at critical times. The referee was rather severe on two of the home players, and afterwards the whole eleven became ragged. The play of the Town forwards, while not so persistent as that of their opponents, was dangerous at times, the work of the extreme wing men being very effective on more than one occasion. Crownshaw should have put Huddersfield in front early in the game. He missed a great chance by striking a post, but he had the satisfaction of winning the match twenty minutes after the start of the second half following smart work by G. Kelly. United fought back with determination, and under pressure Mountford handled the ball in the penalty area. Roberts took the kick from the "spot" but crashed the ball straight into the hands of Turner, who made a capital save. United made a confident appeal for a penalty a little earlier in the game, but the referee ignored it. The closing minutes were exciting, but when the final whistle blew Huddersfield Town were still in possession of their one goal lead.
