FRIENDLY. LLANRWST COUNTY SCHOOL v. BETHESDA COUNTY SCHOOL. On Saturday the Bet lies da County School came over to Ll-anrwst to play the first of -two matches arranged between the above schools. The match was played on the ground, of the Llanrwsit Town Football Club, kindly lent for the occasion. Owing to the recent heavy rain the ground was- in a very heavy an-d slippery condition, and good football was consequently impo, the players having some, difficulty in keeping their feet. Llanrwst pl,aye,d towards the Gwydyr goal in the first half, -and started off with two or three pretty runs. They were, however, unable to. find the goal. The visitors having now become accustomed to- the ground-, they soon afterwards began to press-, and it was not Olll before Roland joraer, escaped a good goal for themi. Very shortly ,afterwards they obtained another goal, the ball being rushed past the goalkeeper. From now to the interval there was little to choose between the t teams, each goal being visited in turn. During the second half, from a good run Howell Jones soared for thel home eleven, while Peter Jones -addied! anot)h)eir point for 1tr11' vilsitom sho,tly ,afterwards. Before the end of the game T. J. Roberts sent in a brilliant shot from long range, which passed just under the bar, thus making the score 4--1. Towards the end the home team improved-, but: were unable to add to their score. The visitors had a good eleven, their backs and goal keeper being brilliant,while the forwards made several good run.s On. the home iside aill worked hardi, but they were beaten by a better eleven. The game was fought in a most sportsmanlike spirit through- out. Mr. Thomas, National School, refereed theg,arrrue in his usual efficient manner. The re. apective elevens were as followrs: Brethesda Goal, D. Thomas; backs, Brock, J. A. Hughes halves, T. J. Roberts, E. Griffiths, T. A. Wil- liams forwards. J. William^, Roland Jones, E. Jones, Peter Williams, H. Evans. Llanrrrwslt: Goal, R. Roberts; backs, J. G. Jones, Oswald Owen; halves, Bertie Evans, J. Gower Jones, Walter Owen,; forwards, Ernest Owen, Idwal Davies, A. Rawson Williams., How-ell Jones-, Willie Roberts. Football Chips. That 'the Harbourmen were very much dis- pleased with the representativels Bangor sent to. Hol-yheadonia on Saturday. That they were practically what is known as ",the Red Stars." That to -say the least, with no Combination or League match on, the Bangor Executive should have mustered up a worthy eleven. That a friend states: "I consider it unfair after the way we acted towards them the week previous..Such -conduct will not tend to pro- mote a good feeling between us, and we are anxious for same." Hear! hear!! That in view of the above facts it is further strange that Bangor League did not go to Blaenau Fesitiniiog, as per arrangement. Why? That they had their best players at home doing nothing. That if Bangor had iinifcfirme,d Holyhead of the nature of the team they were sending Holyhead would have sent their full team to fulfil the League fixture at C-onway, as the Hrolyhead Re. serves, poor as they are, oould easily have ac- ClourJJtedfor the team Bangor sent there on Saturday. That the action of Baiigo,r-home of coast football—needs some explanation. That I am sorry for such a spirit. Is it not ,time to bury the hatchet of feud? That cup-ties, and especially of the mediocre order, of the second round hamper the League smoothness. That Conway were without a match on Satur- day, but "Uncle" was, ou,t refereeing, neverthe- less. That Holyhead are looking forward to the itussi,e in the Senior Cup competition;, of which they are holders. That the Welsh Amateur Cup bothers the Coast Senior Cup competitions for Saturday next. That Conway in the former are due at Llan- dudno. T'hait Llandudno on the same day are due at Colwyn Bay in the Coast Cup event. That it 'appears strange that a scratch in the first instance cannot be made for the benefit of the other. That I hope 'Conway will have a respectably mieritoriious eleven. That ithey may win, and they may not. That Mr. Frank Beech went down to referee in the Conway-Holyhead match on Saturday. That Conway were at home, and sio was Hotyhead. Why this business? Who's to blame? And what about little Frankey's ex- penses ? That Colwyn Bay should have Rhyl at Pen- rhos on Saturday in the Welsh Arnaiteur Cup. That they were lucky, I understand, to beat "The Dogs" of Denbigh on Saturday. That the "Dogs" are a quantity to be reckoned with—mastiffian, of course. That Anglesey boa-st-s the two crack clubs OR ithe League up to date-Heanmaris and Holy- head. That it its a great credit to Sir Fon. That I went to see the Puffins for myself on Saturday. That it was a long time ere I saw what I expected. That I got it -at l-asit. My word, blest if I didn't, and a good clo-ut from McElwee, too. You bounder! That there is something morte than luck at- tached to the Puffins' performances. Mepit! Tha,t the team is under the happiest of aus- pices in having such good management. That they -are good 'sports one and all. That W. O. Humphreys is a delightful player. That Morgan Jones is another. That Bellwood, Sam P-ooie. and Dick Hum- phmeys ,make up a good quintette. That the five are good individualists. That the g-ame w,as a pleasantly clean one. That one felt a desire to go there again. That fthey are a Bon homnie lot—players and officials. That the latter have nursed their League Baby well. That he is growing so fast that someone will have to wean him (if they can) from his suc- cesses. That one 'man -called out after me: "Sir Fon am byih." "Clywch, clywch," says I. That he asked "Will you come wi-th us to Holyhead, Mr. Vigil-anit?" "Certainly," I said. That I have never seen the Harbour Stalwarts at home. That I should very 'much like -to. Who'll nut 'me up if I come, boys? That the BeaumaJris halves, Rowlands, Owen, and Priitchard, were not great. Day off, like many more. That Davies as back was excellent, and Ed- wards very good. That Brookes-Evans as centre forward for Llandudno, was a failure. That Cheetham was- not forcing play enough. That W. A. Williams wais an excellent trier. ":hat Frank Roberts was not up to Blaenau Festiniog form. That Stone was middlamg. That Johnson, was ditto. That Georgie was not in his cup form. That Harold was igood, but can do better. That John 'Henry Jones did great service as back. That Bangor signed him on after the match for the Combination. That Sam Williams played a rattl,irig game. That Bob Lunt was good in goal. That Carnarvon again managed a victory at Itlhe iexpenoo of Rhyl. GreaJt Canaries. That Skipper Griffith was in the best of form's. That TWill' Bach is as good as ever. That Walter Jones missed one or two open, goals. That he will make up for these again. That! George Henry gave a brilliant display between the sticks. That Rhyl are not doing,so, well as I thought tlhey would in their League tourney. That Lilandudno can only boast of one win- out of four. Mind Conway please Llandudno. That Conway must not be downhearted. That the Canaries fairly romped round the Rhyl players on Saturday at the Oval. That it was a plroper quid pro quo. That the Roosters are very quiet just now. That the Wednesday teams will be in evi- dence on Wednesdays now. That the LI and u-d no Corinthians and Celts are becoming favour.iite in Llandudno.

The Small Holdings Act, 1907. AN APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL. To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—Your readers are doubtless aw-are that during the last session of Parliament, by the mutual oonSlelnt of all parties in the State, a new and far-reaching Small Holdings Act was passed into law. This Act will come into qperatio-n on the ist January, 1908. By its provisions labouring men throughout the country who are desirous of some land and are in a position to work it with advantage both to the soil and to themselves, will be enabled to obtain land, through the agency of their Parish Council in the case of holding.s up to five acres in 'size, or in the case of larger hold. ings through their Counity Council. In case neither of these bodies sees fit to act, the land will be secured and let to the men by Small Holdings Commissioners, specially appointed under the Act, and controlled by the Board of Agriculture. There is a pracitically unanimous agreement amongst all who have devoted their attention to this pressing question that the only means of ,checking the flow of the labouring population from the country to the towns, of improving the labourer's- position, in a sound and economic wiay without the greater danger of pauperisa- tion or of sapping his independence, and of reviving the prosperity of the agricultural dis- tricts, is by giving the laboureracoess to the land. This is the intention of the Act. and we be- lieve it ;i¡;, in a great measure adequate for its purpose. But in order to set the act in operation there is much work to be 'done; and there is a great danger lest for lack of machinery at the start at should become a dead letter. To begin with, the Act is, of course, in formal legal language difficult of cornpirehensio.n for those whom it is intended to benefit. Even the existence of the Act is at present unknown to them. Also, the question of Small Holdings has been -talked of for -so many years, while the -reality—in .spite of .some previous legislative at- tempts—has so long remained an unfulfilled as- piration for the l-abour-er that he has for the most part IOSlt hope and gained suspicion, more particularly of Parliament and politicians. It is therefore a matter of the greatest urgency that a non-political society should act, and act quickly. The work now undertaken is much larger than any that the Co-operative Small Holdings Society has so far had to cope with, and will need funds greatly in excess of its previous annual income. But since there is no .other -machinery in existence, and the duty is in a manner forced upon it. the Council feel called upon to undertake it and venture with consider- able confidence to appeal to the public for a very much larger measure of support than they have had in the past. It should be added that they were urgently invited to this course by a .special resolution passed by a committee of agricultural members of the House of Commons. During the (past years the Society has con- ducted a .special inquiry into the condition of Small Holdings districts all over England. It has thus acquired a considerable knowledge of the places where Small Holdings are likelv to be successful, ,and of the districts where there exists a latent demand. The work to be done is to explain the provi-s-ionis of the Act through- out all these districts-, to organise local com- mittees to sift the local demand and bring it to the notice of the authorities conc-er-ned, and generally to act as a friendly third party by putting those desirous of land in touch with the official machine. Although the Act does not come into opera- ,tion before the new year, the Society has been overwhelmed with inquiries of every kind from all parts of England and it is expected that the demand will largely increase during the winter. The Council therefore decided to make con- siderable alteration in its staff arrangements. The ,services of a competent organiser and lec- turer, who is attending local conferences and committees, have been secured. The clerical work is greatly increased, and for a number of district workers will have to be provided. The sum required for the greatly increased work that is now undertaken is £ 1,200. Sub- scriptions, large or small, will be gratefully acknowledged, but in the past the minimum ordinary member's subscription has been ics. We venture confidently to appeal to the pub- lic to assist the Society at this most important and 'critical time, when a new legislative measure likely to have very far-reaching results is coming into operation. The successful work- ing of the Act will require energy and enthusi- asm it will also require caution and enter- prise. We have no doubt that the local auth- odties and the, Commissioners, whose duty it is to work it, will use all these qualities, and we believe that there is a n-i,oist important work for a voluntary and non-party ,society in the first years of the new Act.

Football. (Continued from page 10). drive. which Hallwood partly cleared, but Ev,ans, rushing up, safely netted. After this reverse, the home.sters woke up, and in a body went down, land in a melee the ball was rushed -through, Griffiths throwing hrilIllIslelf full lenigth in the tattemfpt to stop the- ball. The scare again being equal, a rare fight was now seen for the winning IglOal, .and time was ifaat going. Both 'teams were within .an ac-e of scoring, but the defence on both aides we,re safe. Corners were forced by the hoimesters first, .and then on the part of the visitors, all of which were cleared. There was now only a minute to play, and a final rally on the part of the Bayiites was .sue- cessful, Stanley Hughes .putting on what turned out to be the winning Igoal, for barely had the ball 'been centred than .the whistle sounded, -declaring Colwyn Bay winners by 3 giOalstJo2. COMMENTS. This match was one of the finest yet seen on the Penrho's .ground. There was little, if any, to choose1 between the teams. But on the run of the game I (believe a draw would have 'been .a satisfactory -result. No doubt the Bayiites were rather disappointed cm the result. They thoUlght they woul,d have an easy task. Such however, w.as not the case. But I say this, that I have .seen Colwyn Bay pliay a far better game than they did last Saturday. Hallwood was safe in -goal, but the backs we're not at all safe. The -three halves played a hard game, (but ihe pick was the old war-horse, Ned Griffiths. Mess was in his usual -merry mood, 'but Bob Rowlands was not up to pitch. -Mc- Can-n seemed lost all ,the time, though he worked hard. He was continually dodged by the viisiting oenrtre half. Stanley Hughes was in -brilliant form, and only over-anxiety on his part spoilt two or ithree goals. He is -far too quick for his partner, and is never really fed by his outsiidie man as he ought to be. J. Ll. Owen was time after time too slow. He must trv and get out of the funky style of play, and remember he has a partner with him on the wing. « < Of the losers I will say they are as strong a combination as any in the League,, and I pre- dict that Denbigh will have a say in the verdict when the fight becomes keen for the League championship. They have a .good custodian, in Griffiths, though he is on the -small side. Both -ba-cks- gave a creditable -display. Bob Tamils as good las ever. He has a lot of .football in him yet. Of ,the halves, T. A. Davies was the ipi-ck, the others being rather slow -in rtheir 'movements. Still, the ithres form a goo d half-back line. The forward line gave a pretty display of football, but lacked devil- ment in front of goal, but this does not ar^nly -to- D. W. Jones or "SoOlner." The latter is al. ways following the ball, and is a terror in front of a custodian. I think Hallwood will shaloo my opinion on this point. Thieir oiutside right was the best man on the field. I should like to. -see him -and (Moas forming a wting. DaJVies made a capital partner to him on the wing, v/hilat a vast improvement was noticed on the left wing wheini Berwyin went outside. On the whole they have a capital set of forwards. CARNARVON UNITED v. RHYL RESERVES. CANARIES REVENGED. (BY "BOBS.") Played at Carnarvon, -on Saturday, before a good gate. This, was) the return match, and the following were the players:- Carnarvon G. H. Jones, goal; J. T. Wil- li, a,ms and W. R. Thomas, backs J. Griffiths, (captain), (M. Herbert, and J. Williams, half- backs; J. Jones., R. H. Roberts, W. Jones, H. Roberts, and Tom Roberts-, forwards. Rhyl R. Jones, goal J. Williams and R. Hughes, haJcks; A. Roberts, R. Gallagher, and A. Buckley, half-backs; R. E. Hughes, J. Parry, T. E. Jones., E. Hughes, and E. Roberts, forwards. Carnarvon, winning the toss, elected to kick agia-inst. the wind, with !two men .short. Rhyl broke away with great: dash, fairlv bombarding Carnarvon goal. G. H. Jones; making several marvellous saves. Carnarvon's: absentees then arrived, and made the game more even, the ball being sent away from the precincts of Car- narvon goal. Carnarvon now started in dettL mined fashion, and after a bit of clever forward iplay, H. Roberts man-aged -the trick, thus scor- ing" the first goal amid a tremendous uproar of applause. Thijsi routge-d Rhyl! up, and, they forced several 'corners, but with no result. After a little midfieM play, the outside left of Rhyl got the ball and took it well up the flank. He was tackled by J. Williams, Carnarvon's right back, but 'he parted, passing it across the cen- tre, when the liln-side right of Rhyl, being on the spot, -scored cleverly. Nothing more of any importance happened up to half-time, when the score was: Carnarvon, i Rhyl Reseirves, 1. On resuming play, it soon became evident which was the best team. Carnarvon now sit,arte,cl in grand! style, the veteran, T. Roberts, shin.ing brightly, doing some very tricky work. On passing :to -tihe centre, W. Jones got com- j a,i,d" t-aik-ing aim at about thirty yards, he .scored what I term the best goal of the match-. The ball was set in motion again, and the homesteiris again got command, the halves being close- up when their skipper, J. Griffith,s, netted, which caused loud cheering. He played a sterling game throughout which ,the left wing of Rhyl, no doubt felt From -celitre, Carnarvon again assumed command, and Tom Roberts- was again to the fore, putting a beauty in the net with his. never fad-ling head. The play during this half was -always! around- the Rhyl goal, and W. Jones was rather unlucky in not scoring on several occasions, missing the goial by inches. (Never mind, Walter, better luck nexit time.) From, the centre once more the Canaries took com- mand, .and brought a fine display of football, fairly penning the visitors' an their own goal mouth. The veitepran;, Tom Roberts, saw a breach,, and he was nloit long before he got through. landing the ball nicely in the net; thisi being Carnarvon's fifth goal. i ■* J. Jones, Carnarvon's- outside left, played a brilliant game .throughout, he being handi- capped by hiig partner, H. Roberts, suffering from a, slight cold. Rhyl played a good game in the fir-sit. half, but they were fairly tired out by the, finish of the game. Thus Carnarvon wiped out their defeat at the h-andis of Rhyl by 5 goals to x. The referee, Mr. J. Roberts, Bangor, must, be complimented on his refereeing, for a cleaner game could not possibly have been played, which lay to his- decisions being without doubt or hesitation.
