Had there been a better half in Scotland, I would have left Lindsay out in the cold, but as he is in advance of all the men we have, the union had no alternative but to give him a place, and I really believe they have acted wisely in the matter.
Mr. George Campbell Lindsay, the old Oxford captain and Scottish International three-quarter back, died on Thursday evening after a brief illness at his mother's residence in Hampstead.
Once when twitted with not being much of a tackler Lindsay retorted that in his days at Oxford there was no occasion to tackle when they had behind them the greatest fullback that ever played – H. B. Tristram, the present Head of Loretto.
Lindsay was a good cricketer and golfer, while also got his athletic blue in 1886, and was only beaten in the Quarter by H.C. L. Tindall at Lillie Bridge by a few inches in 51 seconds.
He will be particularly missed from London and Oxford football circles, for of late years had devoted himself to writing on the Rugby game in the Sporting Life under initials of G. C. L. The funeral will take place at half-past one to-day at Hampstead Cemetery, Finchley Road.
