SWANSEA V. ABERTILLERY
SWANSEA V. ABERTILLERY POOR GAME AT SW RSEA. BUT IVOR MGBGAN PLAYS WELL SWANSEA PACKS RECOVERY. t or the iiist time in their history, Aber- tilieiy, 0ne 0f the cleverest 0f t-1.e Mon- mouiiic>auo teams, made an appearance at bt. iieieu s to-day, bringing vviui Uiem cre- ot being a side w&u in the running ior m-st-ciaeci Honours. The game was ar- ranged comparatively lato in uie season, it maj oe saiu now, &o as to give ihe "Wi-itcs" an easy game au-er their Leicester tour. Bui tne luioJy men have done :'0 weil tins t&a&jix that it is reasonable to suppose that iicj.1 year 1::11">" Will be granted dates fry more man one leaning ^iub. inca* nrst big acnievtiUient wat. to come near beating New- port, who just managed to get home at the last moment, but they cruu-ed a much more real surprise when tney ran use "Wallabies" to a draw, '1 IUS was at a tune when the "Wallabies" were going very strong indeed, and this rcsuit is" as a mat- tcr oi tact, the betst on the Aberiniery men's record up to date. They have sup- plied two forwards to the present Welsh team, and it has been said more than ones that their pack can bear comparison with any other ill the country. Neither are they weak behind. The defeat of the Swan- sea men at Leicester last week had further heartened the visitors, who, for the eake of future seasons, were intent on playing a good game. The home side was expected to be mucn stronger than the one defeated in the Midlands, for Trew, Jones and Owen were again available, the only non-starter prior to the match, so far as was known, being D. Griffiths, who had not re- covered from the effects of a severe chili. Hie place was taken by Harry H tains, but there was a further absentee from the usual pack of forwards, Edgar Morgan having been selected for the reserve team this week, so as to get bo.ek into good condition. Trew ws.s not quite fit, for some of the after effects cf influenza were stili evident, but hif; very presence, not to speak of his splendid leadership, was expected to have the best possible effect on the remainder of the men. Abertillery fielded their best side, the selected men being 3. follows:- SWANSEA.—Back, J. Bancroft; three-! quarters, W. Trew, H. Toft, P. Hopkins and P. Sheffori half-backs, R. M. Owen and R. Jon-as; forwards, D. J. Ihoma H. Hunt, Ivor Morgan, D. Davies, B. Davies, G. Hayward, Ike Williams, a.nd H. Hiam, ABERTILLERY.—Back, C. Hodges; three-quarters, W. Bowen J. (Chick) Ja n s, J. Richardson and Lionel Thomas; ha if- backs, W. Hodges and F. Court; forwards, J. Winmili (captain;, j. Webb, J. Black- more, T. Dykes, Ja:k Webb, J. Howel1? W. Powell and W. Lewis. Referee, Mr. John (Cardiff). It was an ideal afternoon, and almost suitable for cricket. The sail shone strongly, but was weii tempered by a wind, wnich eeemed to blow from all directions. Pre- vious to the big game there wa" a school- boys' match, in which three lads, Davies and Richards, of Swansea, and the bttie Llan- elly full-back especially, distinguished them- selves. Davies, in the centre, is a particu- larly promising youth, very fast, with a capable knowledge of working an opening. The turf was in line condition, and favoured a fast game. Swansea made two changes from the selected side, Harry Hiams being in the pack instead of Dai Griffiths, who is still unwell, and Percy Shefford played in the centre, Phil Hopkins going to the wing instead oi Bryn Lewis. Abertillery fielded as selected. Previous to the start the Swansea teum were photographed by Mr. H. A. Chapman. The Whites had the sun in their eyes, but had the advantage of the wind. Abertillery sported Newport colours, and had a good following of sup- porters in the stand. There", ere about 5,000 people present. Swansea pressed right from Ha^ward's kick-off, and the Amber and BlacKs failed to find much relief as the result of an oariy free kick. Using the wind well, Swaiifiei managed to get down to the visiting 1wf', but Lionel Thomas, bv intercepting a paws to Ton, both saved the position and gained a useful slice of ground. This advantage was further added to by good kicking by Chick James, and them a good kicking by Chick James, and then a clever kick by Hayward almost let Toft in on the left. Next minute the ball swept along to the backs, and Percy Shefford gave a nice final pass to Phil Hopkins. He went at full speed for the corner, aud at the mo- ment he was actually crossing hK. too was touched by J. Webb, who was running across The brother of the International saved a certain try, for Hopkins feU inches short, and the ball rolled out of bounds. Webb was knocked out, but returned to play iust as Toft, after getting possession cleverly, kicked acroee. and IVOR MORGAN, SCOOPING UP THE LEATHER, scored his twelfth try of tie season, being present top-scorer. Bancroft failed. This put the Abertillery men on their mettle, for they swept up to the attack with great dash. Lionel Thomas had a sort of a chanoe on the right, but the next moment a bout of passing right along the line found Bowen going for the line at full speed. He was jii5t stopped in time by Phil Hopkins, I although he did a second later crawl over, only to be rightly re-called. The attack was kept up for a coirple of minntes. but at last j Dick Jones relieved with a short punt. It j -was Richardson who brought the 'Tillery men back again, for he intercepted a. pa.;¡,:¡, I and after running to Bancroft had the hard est lines to find his pass missed when the way to the line was clear. Swansea's second I t;ry WafI made by Percy Shefford, who started a dribbling movement which in it- self beat the defence. Then Owen picked np, fwnt to Trew, who gave a difficult, pass to Phil Hopkins The latter took the bail on the tips of his fingers and SPRINTED OVER IN A GOOD POSITION, for Jack Bancroft to convert. For two minutes following the second score Tillery kept somewhere near t.he centre line, bat were a well-beaten team now. The third tJ^j was a gem. Anticipating the Wind ffidé, the visitors allowed Phil Hop- kins to get away on the right from a pass by Owen, and when he cross-kicked Ivor \lorgan again got tbe bail, sent to Trew, who gave to TOFT, FOR THE LATTER TO CROSS in the corner on the left. This time Ban- croft failed. Strong though Abertillery were in the forwards, they yet found an eight quite all strong as themselves in Swan- sea; the latter, indeed, heefied the oTtener. j Some of the referee's decisions to say the least, peculiar, and they affected the game to some extent. He ailoweo the visit- mg hadves to put in the bal3 as they liked, and frequently blew when there seemed no reason. HALF-TIME SCORE: SWANSEA—1 converted goal 2 tries. ABERTILLERY—N il. Percy Shefford was not having the beet of the luck, for every time he received the lea- ther the whistle was blown. This hap- pened right at the start of the second half, when he took pert in a capital passing movement, only to be called up as soon as he touched the ball. Ivor Morgan had cruel luck a moment later for another try, when he heard the whistle go at the moment when he had a clear run in. Then the Swansea pack over-ran their bigger op- ponents, ihs leather being rushed out of '.rounds; but Swansea were back a^ain on the line in a few minutes. This time Rich- ardson relieved with a long kick, and an Abertillery forward, who bad been brought ■xxb to h"ip the defence, went back to the p»u-k. At last amidst a shout from the crowd the visiting inside half was penalised hr putting the ball in nnfairlv. Ivor Mor- gan was always up with the play and again h* got the ball and went over, to he once more recalled for a knock-on. Trew was being so well merited that he was never able to R; v-wry far. whilst Dick Jones was nearly always i-acklcd. whether he had the ball or And 't was' plain that. the visitors were p-oing to be deceived by the "dummy," hrf. the rvxt try came quickly. • Owsn bl-uft0d the defence by fainting to give the reverse pa&s, and then running in the op- j » I posite direction. Trew went through grandly, when he got the ball, and made a PERFECT OPENING FOR TOFT, v.'L-> had no difficulty in crossing. Bancroft | converted, an! Swansea were 16 points np. For the first time in this half Abertillery next did some attacking. The forwards had changed their tactics, going in for quick j breaking-up and rushing ins'ead cf heeiing. This served them well for a time, and they kept up a hot attack ten yards out. Oncc they seemed like scoring after a coupie of mistakes had been made by the Swansea backs, but the defence was too good, and Swansea worked out of danger. The way in which the ball was being put in by the Aber- tillery men was obviously unfair, but was only infrequently penalised. From one o< theise kicks, however, the Whites worked out of danger. There was very little in- terest in the game now. One bright incident- was clever interpassing by Owen and Jones on the blind side. Abertillery had a forward out all the while, and towards the end Ivor "Morgan also came out to help the backs. THE FIFTH TRY was started by Toft, but after Hunt had been given the ball Jack Bancroft ",aited patiently on his left for the pass, which never came. The full-back thought he had a try for certain, but Hunt held on and scored, Bancroft failing to convert. Next minute again Ivor Morgan ran to within inches of the line only to be grassed. Swan- sea were aJi over the Monmouthshire men now, and Toft was doing almost a& he liked. In the final moments Owen hurt his knee again, but seemingly net very badly.

"THE WATCHMAN'S" COMMENTS. i It was a poor eort of game and contained so little of real interest from the general standpoint that it deserves but very little writing oi. Abertillery entered the arena. with the reputation of having one of the finest packs of forwards in the country, but they did not strike one as being quite so good as their friends made out.. As a matter of iact they were beaten both in heeling and in other departments of forwerd play. V\ hen remembering what happened at Leicester last Saturday one can only re- gret that the Swansea eight did not play 60 well then. They were at least good to- day, which seems to suggest that recent decisions of the committee have had the desired effect. No one needs to be told that when they like the Swansea eight can play grandly, but they alfo possess the knack of being very indifferent. Last week was one of their bad days, but no com plaint is necessary on this occasion. Once more—and one is almost tired of re- peating it-I wJr Morgan was the man who was always in the front of the picture. He played a truly magniricent game, and for my part I would say, after seeing nearly aJI the forwards with pretensions to first class this season, that be is quite the best of the lot. No man could play finer football, ;.nd if it were necessary to select a side to represent Great Britain, Morgan would be my first choice. The very fact that he has scored a dozen tries is suffi- cient in itself to indicate what a fine at, tacking pliyer he is, and it is those who pfny him who know his worth as a defender. All the forwards were good, however, and Owen and Jones had much the better of the argument with thoir opponents. Trew did Dot take much risk, and was well advised in not dorng so, for he was scarcely fit to play. Toft was in his happiest mood, and so was Bancroft, whilst Phil Hopkins made no mistake. Percy Shefford'? debut was not made very noteworthy, but he has promise, and should receive encouragement. Abertillery are no more than a second grade team, but they played pluckily. They are worth more fixtures, and will probably figure on the Swansea card again. On Monday I will deal with the game more fully.
LLANDILO V. DANYGRAIG
LLANDILO V. DANYGRAIG Some amount of interest was taken in the visit of Danygraig to Handilo to-day, this being the Swansea fcubmhans' first visit of the season. Uiandilo have done by no means badly this year, and rather fancied their dhance of winning to-day. Danygraig, as usual, were unable to field their best aide.

SWANSEA SCHOSLS' MATCHES
SWANSEA SCHOSLS' MATCHES THREE MATCHES PLAYED ON SATURDAY. SATURDAY. Of the four matches advertised to play on Saturday, the Brynhyfryd v. Danygraig ¡ match wLi cancelled. There was an exoep- ti'KiaHy large attendance at the Kecreation ground to witness the other three, and it seemed a_a if there was a revival of interest. There was an abundance of enthusiasm, and on tbe whole some good football was wit- nessed- INDUSTRIAL v. NATIONAL. Industrial seem to be reverting to their old form. In recent matches they have not. done ao well as was expected., but in their match against National they seemed to have regained lost form, for they defeated by 25pts. It was an altogether oqdo- sided game, as the score suggests, and the lads from Bonymaen kept their town oppo- nents on the defensive for almost the whole of the game, but all the efforts of National could not prevent Industrial from breaking through on nine occasions. PINAL SCORE. INDUgTRIAL-1 goail 8 tries. NATIONAL-Nil. HIGHER GRADE v. MANSELTON. Higher Grade were fortunate to-day in having the assistance of Yeandle and Tara- En, and but for the efforts of the boys named. 3tinselton would have made matters hot for the secondary school boys. The winners were by far the heavier side, and that, coupled with their experience in foot-! ball, won them the game. Mansa" ton put up a good hard game, but the Higher Grade played with more consistency and dash. FINAL SCORE. HIGHER GRADE—3 tries. MANSELTON—Nil. BRYNMILL T. TERRACE ROAD. Of the three matches played this was by far the most intenesrting, and contested with greater keenness than all the others. Bryn- mill were onSy suoceseful by a try, but there was very little to choose between either team, but still there was a slight superiority on the part of Brynmill.

NE lTH V. ^LLANELLY. THREE-POINT WIN FOR THE HOMESTERS. Great interest centred in this match, which was played on the Gnoll enclosiir? on Saturday afternoon. The' rivals had not met before this season, and there was a good deat of epejuiation wiUi refer-once to the fix- I, trwo. The locals expected to win and re- garded their ^'roum.' record as sais.

Lee was 111- cluded in the Neath pack in place of D. H. Da vies. lncie were neariy iHA-' Lianelly supporters present. The cjca.jets gi-arted wioii the sun in their faces, W. J. Thomas, who capuuined the tea^ii, kicking oil and ioLowing up iio smartiy that he pievenied a return. Neath got the ball away from the hrst scrmn, auli the back^ nan J led isr-aaartiy. i*»vans, however, impioved tne pOiuLujii with a kick to touch. The boaxiei»s worked bacK to midsheid, aiKi tlie ball was again sent out to the N eath backs. Davits g-uned grcund with a. long kick, and then D. Uoya got his side out of a. Ugiit corner, '7 and the forwards foilowing up took ptay well down the held. Neatii retumed to the attack, and were awarded a coupie of pen- alties. The Doarlets now wheeled a aerom and were loosing dangerous witetn the bail went into touch. A scrum followed the line-out-. Morgan sent out to Arnold, who tound touch well over the twenty-tive line. Edwards sent the Scarlets bac.: to mid-fi^id with a good kick, and then the LJaneliy men got to within a few yards of the line with a wild forward rush. A penalty brought Neath relief. Willie Thomas got tackled with the ball in his possession, and matters booame exciting. Auokiand went strongly from the line-out, but some wild punting lost LJaneliy scene ground. Harold I 1 nomas just managed to save. eath now attacked hotly, and were soon in the Llan- elly twenty-iive. No sooner had the line been cleared than Edwards found touch well up the field, and again placed the line in dn.nrcr. Arnold cleverly relieved, and Larry: Thomae followed up and prevented Ed-1 wards from returning, aad almost got over, The visiting bucks were now having mere of the play and did some useful tonoh-hnd- mg. Edwads again cieaed. his 25. when Llanelly were pressing. ",um0 even play at nudfiekl in which Neath had the beest foil- lowed, and tJhoo. there was some exchange kicking. Dai Lewis row isaved a dangerous Neath rsuh by turning the ball into toucli. The home backs after this handled after an opening by Evans and almost beat the de- fence. Edwards failing to hold, gave Lian- elly a chance, wiliich they failed to take ad- vantage of. Tom Thomas reclaive-d an in- jury to his knee and had to retire. W. J. Thomas and Auckland led a forward. rush, and Edwards caved. Morgan again got pen- aJised, and Lewis failing to return, the All Blacks were nearly over the line. Edwards attempted at goal and only just failed, although it was a fine er.ort. Williams mishelded on the restart and Lianelly came to the centre. Tom Davies then made a great run, but was pushed into touch after almost beating the defence. Neath pressed hotly and a penaJty brought much- needed reliof to Llanolly. The home men had the best of the loose play which fcl- lowed, but kicked too hard, and enabled IH. John to clear and kick into touch. An- other penalty came to Neath again after this but they did not gain any ground. A delay now took place on account of an in- i jury to a Neath forward. Jack Auckland then made an opening, but his pass went astray and afterwards Willie Arnold twisted his knee badly, but resumed pday. HALF-TIME SCORE: NEATH—Nil. LLANELLY-Nil. Tom Thomas returned when play was re- sumed, and Bob Edwards made a sensa- tional run, being overhauled by Davies after almost getting over. Edwards' shot for goal fell short. Evans made a fine opening Aitor Lloyd rsturned, and the ball went along the line, and Tom Davies was tackled by H. John. The Scarlet pack pressed and Edwards saved. Neaih forwards then at- tacked hotly and were soon in front of tlie Lianelly g>al, 'wdvre a man was liaid out. LJaneliy were five three-quarters, Stagg being taken out of the pack. l his 11 3-D formation was kept up for some time on ac- count of the stubborness of the Neath at- tack. Bob Edwards brought off a long diribbfte and Williams turned the ball into touch. Play now became scrappy and the strunrmagers were scrambling. At last the efforts of the homesters were rewarded by a score, BRENNAN CROSSING IN THE CORNER. after an opening by Evans. The kick for goal failed. Willie Thomas made a clever cross-kick, but Reet; s-sved. SOC!\ Evans was laid out. for the sccorid time 1Il the i game in stopping a rurii. Vigorous for- ward work followed, and clever cross- kicking by EklwAivls and Stacev almost re- suited in a score. FINAL SCORE: • NEATH 1 try. LLANELLY-Nil. NOTES ON THE GAME. The game was cf a fast and open chaarac- ter and exceptionally keen, but at the same time devoid of roughness. The teams were evenly matched, although Lianelly did not have the services of Walters and Evans, who stood down on account of the game with s France. The forwards on both sides pilayed v a hard game and there were no shirkers. It is impossible to single out any player for special mention. W. J. Morris ably led the Scarlet team on account of the absence of J the captain The Neath backs in the early stagef. did not make the rarst of their opportunities. "SCÙRL.b:L"

The homester? broke away prettily across the field, but gained no ground. Bala Jones made a. fine opening for Aberavon, but the Bridgend custodian replied with interest. Austin Davies got away beautifully and took play back to mid-field. The homesters got the nest of the ensuing sr-uni, and invaded the Avon Jioo. Again .Austin Davies broke away cleverly, and .ihough he had only the full-back to pass and three men waiting to receive he refused to pa £ s the ball, and a certain try to Aberavon was lost. From the ensuing scrum Bridgend worked back to the oentre, and soon after Aberavon conceded a minor. Aberavon again got away splendidly, through W. Thomas and Bala Jones, but Thomas saved well for Bridgend, and a few moments later D:ck Hughes showed up well for Aberavon. Bridgend now attacked, and Jenkin Hop- kins tried to drop a goal, but failed. From their own twenty-five Aberavon got away, and Bala Jones, passing to Alay Davies the latter scored an unconverted try. HALF-TLuE SCORE: ABERAVON—1 tiy. BRIDGEND—Nil. Aberavon had the best of the re-opening stages of the second half. The Bridgend forwards replied with a few forward rushes. Bala Jonee. and Willie Thomas, were next prominent and the latter nearly went over. Bridgend now played up strongly and Wil- lie Thomas secured and found tSneh over the centre mark. This enabled Aberavon to get to the Bridgend line and W. J. Reess just lost a try the ball rolling into touch.

JUDGS BRYN BOBESTS. t SWANSEA DEFENCE: "NEURAS- I THENIC WORKING MEN." I writing in tne "We&vern Mail" oi Satur- day, "Justitia" (Swansea, defends Judge Bryn Roberts from the attacks by Weisa miners. The writer tspeaks of the judges "ccnsidcxate and painstaking care and know- ledge of the law. and refers to the "serious medical problem" of dealing with the glOW- ing up in this ooumry of "distinctly neuiastnenic working men," suggesting that "not all compensation claims thai, go into court are g-enuine. The mistake of the whole business is that too many cases I are taken into court-, and they naturally fail. Then the leaders are up in arms, condemn judge and doctors aliKe, and foster discontent amongst the men in older to upnold their inliuènce. p "They appear to purposely ignore the fact that Judge Bryn Roberts invariably—where there is conflicting medical evidence—cads in the aid A an assessor, and is guided by him in his judgment, which is optional with a judge, but it shows his desire to do justice, and the cost of this is paid by the Government." DOCTORS WHO "DARE NOT TELL THE TRUTH." The "Mail" adds ;Une of the most respected surgeons in Wales made a start- ling statement to us this week. It bears on I I the workmen's compensation cases, particu- larly in Welsh coalfields. He said he wa:: oahcd a.s a witness in such a ca«e some time back, and when he left the witness-box he was accosted by the doctor who had given evidence for the plaintiff. Thie doctor- said, 'You have told the truth. I dare not do it' "This statement was volunteered to as by R well-known surgeon, who gave us full liberty to disclose his name if the necessity arose." -10
