COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. BANGOR UNIVERSITY v. COLWYN BAY. GOALS PLENTIFUL. (BY GWILYM.") It was with oonjsaderable delight, when I ar- rived in High St. Bangor, on Saturday, that I noticed that it had been decided to play the above match on the town football ground. A Walk up to Ffriddoedd would have knocked the wind out of anyone, with the exception perhaps of the 'Varsity players themselves. The North Wales Coast Association have decided, however, that no further matches shall be played- by the 'Varsity on the town ground, with the result that the gate receipts will undoubtedly be great- ly affected. Thanks to the evergreen Bob Ro- berts, the ground was in excellent condition. when the players turned out in a brilliant sun before Mr Welch, of Crewe. The teams lined up as follows — 'Varsity: J. Daniel, goal; Owen and. C. H. Jones, backs; W. J. Jones, Don Rowlands, and H. L. Brock, halves; T. E. Jones, Matthews, Wright, Smedley, and Claude Davies, forwards. Colwyn Bay: Hallwood, goal; D. Roberts and Waterhoaise, backs; Ned uriffiths, T. Well- ings, and Dick Rowlands, halves; W. E. Ro- berts, W. Southern, Stanley Hughes, H. P. Evans, and Hal Piritchard, forwards. The visitors put the ball in motion and went off with a rush, Stanley Hughes checking tioc movement by handling. The free kick resulted in Roberts and Waterhouse coming to a mis- understanding, and Smedley, rushing in, hit the post, and Claude Davies took up the rebound, and although he sent in a light-ning shot from close range, Hallwood brought off a brilliant save, and followed this up with another still more brilliant save of his charge, which was the signal for sounds of applause from the specta- tors. The Collegians now kept up a hot attack, and Ned Griffiths, in his anxiety to clear, handled within the penalty area. The 'Varsity's score was opened by Owen, who had no diffi- culty in beating Hallwood from the twelve yards mark. A beautiful run along the left by H. P. Evans was only spoilt by the player's own excitement. He could have placed the ball past Daniel easIly, but in his anxiety he put the ball too far ahead, and Daniel cleared with a huge punt. A pretty movement on the part of Wright and Smedley eluded the visiting defence, and terriffic drive by Wright was saved by Hallwood on his traces. Up to row the game was of a somewhat even character, but when Claude Davies ran the length of the field with the ball and beat Hall- wood, who attempted to save at full length, the visitors became somewhat disheartened. The cap and gown men kept up a continual attack on Hallwood, and a very fine goal was again scored, the player being Wright, who placed out of Hallwood's reach from a pass by Smedley. BOoth ends were now visited simultaneously, and fruitless corners were awarded each side. From this point of the game the visitors were entirely outclassed by the 'Varsity, who were playing a great game. Jones, the home outsMie right, was responsible for considerable damage 'to the reputation of the visitors. He played havoc on the line, his, centres being keenly ta-n up by his clubmiates, and from one of his passes Wright registered number four for the homesters. Again Jones came up and placed an accurate centre, which Smedley tipped over the hair. It was now very seldom that the visitors got within shooting range of the home citadel, and when they did get there the renowned Stan- ley Hughes was completely out of form. Try as they would, the Bayites could not break away, and it took the defence a,11 their time to repel the continuous attacks of the eager 'Varsity men. A slip away by the visiting left wing looked dangerous, until Hal Pritchard's beautiful centre from the corner flag went a-begging. An offside goal was scored by Wright, and a little later Matthews, who was a rare plodder, tested Hall- wood with two beauties, but the Bay keeper was on the qui vive and cleared each time. Cen- tres upon centres were put practically on the goal line by T. E. Jones, and at last Smedley caught on and added the fifth point. Half time arrived with the score — 'Varsity, 5 Colwyn Bay, o. On the reappearance of the teams the 'Varsity were greeted loudly by their college mates, who were in large numbers on the ground. The homesters at once commenced to attaoic, i-i.au- wood effecting a neat stave, but a poor clear- ance, with the result that Matthews tried his luck with the keeper out, but Roberts rushed between the sticks and saved grandly with a huge punt, Wright made a smart pivot, and he was in the top of his form on Saturday. From the centre he went away on his own, and elud- ing a host of opponents ran for Hallwood w^th the ball at his toe. His final attempt beat a wood. With such a heavy reverse, the Bayites appeared quite vexed with themselves, and with a determined look on his face Stanley was seen at his best when he wornied his way through all and scored tihe first and only point for the Bay. The seventh goal for the homesters soon came, for Wrighit again was master of the situation, and practically ran the ball into the met. The close of the game was watched with the keenest interest by the Collegians. The home forwards were in tip-top form, and with a some- what weak defence to contend with they had matters all their own way worth the exception of when they came to Hallwood, who was respon- sible for some smart and effective saves. Be. for-e the conclusion Wright again added another goal, the final score reading". University, 8; Colwyn Bay, x. NOTES AND COMMENTS. This match was well contested for the first few minutes, but the 'Varsity soon showed their superiority in the playing of football. The Bay- ites were weak at every point with the exception of goal, Hallwood playing a masterly game, de. spite the heavy scoring against him.. Botih backs were shaky, and especially was this so m the case of Waterhouse, who allowed Matthews and T. E. Jones considerably too much rope. The Bay had the half back line of old-Griffiths, Wellings, and Rowlands,-but they found the nippy 'Varsity forwards too good for them. They had a very poor assortment of fighting forwards, and the only neat work was done by Stanley when he scored the solitary goal for his side. Of the two wings, the left were the best, and Evans and Pritehard were at tunes seen doing some pretty work, but their finishing touches were always faulty ,.T 'This is my first experience of the Varsity eleven, and I can, on their play, predict a very happy season for them. Although I was in- formed that they had not won a match uofrl Satarday, I can safely say that it will be a very clever team who will wrest a couple of points from tihem this season, either at home or away. Daniel did not have much work to do. Owen was in fine fettle, and repelled each attack be- fore his opponents got anywhere within shooting distance. A new back in Jones, who has came from the Wrexham County School, is a line capture. He played a rattling game throughout. The half backs could -not be beaten. The ever- green W. J. Jor'es, late of Conway and Beau- maris, although suffering from an injury, was a terrible thorn in the sides of the visitors, as was also Don Rowlands and H. L. Brock, the latter of whom previously played at back, but he has proved himself a fine half back, and feeds his forwards with judgment The forward line could hardly be improved upon. Wright was the shining light When he got the ball he made his way goalwards, and the visiting defence were in for an. anxious time. He was well supported by his wing men, especi- ally T. E. Jones, who has some beautiful touches, and his centres are always accurate. Numbers of these went a-begging on Saturday. In conclusion, I can safely say that the front line can, hardly be improved upon, and, with the same team playing throughout the season, I can predict a very bright future for the cap and gown men.

COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. LLANGEFNI v. MENAI BRIDGE. (BY "SIR FON.") The above teams met at Llangefni on Satur- day in ideal weather. Their meeting aroused great excitement, inasmuch as the Cefnii-ites were beaten by Menai Bridge on the Saturday previ- ous in a cup-tie. Also the, protest which the committee of the Llangefni club lodged against W. G. Williams, of Menai Bridge, with regard to his alleged ineligibility had failed. There- fore it was only quite natural that they sLcnuld do their best to make up for the defeat they sus- tained in the cup competition. Both teams were at full strength, with the exception of one ab- sentee—W. G. Williams, of Menai Bridge, who was laid up as the result of an injury he re- ceived in the cup-tie. Teams — Llangefni J. Newton Williams, goal; Hamer Jones and Navon Jones, backs; Taylor, Dick Williams, and1 Brown, halves; T. Kyffin Jones, J. Williams, 'Norman Thomas, Ritchie Williams, and McThompson Reece, forwards. Menai Bridge: J. Evans, goal; G. Williams and W. Edwards, backs; Tom Parry, J. R. Jones, and Ivor Edwards, halves; Sam Parry, Hinson, W. M. Jones, Arthur Hughes, and J. R. Owen, forwards. From' the kick off the B-ridgeites made head- way, and within tihree minutes they scored, from a splendid shot by J. R. Owen. Newton Wil- liams had no chance of saviinig,ithe ball being placed right in the corner of the net. Sam got possession of the ball from the centre, and after dribbling past the half, he ran towards the goal- mouth, but Hamer, Jones came in contact with him and cleared, and punted well up into the field., whereby one of the, Llangefni forwards beat the visitors' full-backs and had a shot at goal. Tommy Kyffin made some fine runs at this stage, and centred well across the field, but the visitors' left half did not let him have too much scope. The Cefni forwards combined well and were seen sailing towards the visitors' goal, when about twenty yard's out, Norman, Who had the ball, finding a good opportunity to shoot, scored Tor Llangefni. From the centre the Bnidgeites attacked,, and a pretty combina- tion was witnessed, but unfortunately ended in Enoch shooting wide. Soon after Cefni were awarded a penalty kick against the visitors' goalie, which was entrusted to Tommy Kyffin Jones, who made no mistake with a grounder. Half-time score Llangefni, 2; Menai Bridge, 1. In the second moiety both teams played 1>- very hiard game, Menai having perhaps the best of matters, as they were continually in front of the Cefni goal, keeping the backs rather busy, and often did W. M. orues bring Newton to his knees. Hamer Jones robbed Enoch just as he was shooting, and punted well up into the field, only for the ball to be returned by George Wil- liams, the visitors' full-back. Some exciting play was witnessed near the Cefni goal, and a penalty was awarded to the jiridgeites against Hamer Jones. W. M. Jones was entrusted with the kick, and made no mistake. But alas! the referee had not given the signal, and so he had another try, but this time failed, amid shouts of Hurrah from the Cefni supporters. Some credit is due to the goalkeeper, as he saved very cleverly. The only fault with him is that he is not smart in clearing the ball after he saves. The Bridgeites now attacked vigorously, and Arthur, from a centre received by J. R. Oweni (Llanfaethliu), completely beat the Cefni custod- ian, thus equalising. Excitement was now at fever heat, and both teams played hard for the winning goal, but neither was successful. Re- sult Llangefni, 2; Menai Bridge, 2.

LLECHID v. GLASINFRYN SWIFTS The above match was played last Saturday at Coetmor Park, Llanllechid. As it was the first appearance of the Llechidites in the League, much interest was taken in the encounter, and a large crowd was present. Referee Shaw, of Chester, lined up the teams in the following order .— Llechid Goal, J. Meade; backs, Joe Hughes and J. E. Evans; halves, Will Griffith (captain), Tom Owen, and Tom Jones; forwards, T. L. Roberts, George Williams, T. O. Thomas, and W. Jones. Glasinfryn Goal, O. R. Jones; backs,1- A. Stanley and, J. Price halves, H. LI. Pierce, C. Pierce, and E. Williams; forwards, G. Eardley, E. J. Roberts, Harry Hughes, D. P. Hughes, and W. D. Thomas (capftaim). In the first minute O. R. Jones had to clear. The game was splendidly contested, each end being visifted in turn. Harry Hughes broke through the homesters' defence, but Meade cleared his shot. Glasinfryn were now having ,the the best 0; the game, and after twenty minutes' play D. P. 'Hughes scored for "them, Meade quite misjudging the shot. The homesters pressed, O. R. Jones; saving Roberts' shot at the expense of a corner. Half time: Glasinfryn,, i Llecbid, o. In the second half the game was hotly con- tested. Stanley for Glasinfryn. and Joe Hughes and Tom Owen for the homesters were playing a grand defensive game. W. Thomas equalised amidst great cheering, and directly afterwards W. Jones gave the homesters the lead amid a great scene of enthusiasm. Not to be denied, the visitors -again pressed, and from a grand centre by E. J. Roberts W. D. Thomas, who was unmarked headed through, and so equalised the score. The visitors were now having the best of the game, Meade partially saving and Eardley banging the rebound pas(t the post. Time was called with the result: Llechid, 2; Glasinfryn, 2. rr. Shaw's refereeing wtas excellent, and he kept the teams well in hand.

Football Chips. (BY VIGILANT. That the two ruling organisations of Nortn Wales football have again met. That the Association met on Wednesday of last week at Llandudno Junction, and the League at Bangor on Friday. That both authorities b.,re in good working order. That football is now being excellently looked after. That there is a new era dawning on Coast football. That there are strenuous efforts being madie for a levelling-up all round. That there is an elevating influence permeat- ing the Association and the League. That such was the intent always, but the ac- tual good obtained up-to-date is very healthful. That one missed the genial chairman's face at the Association meeting. That J. H. Vincent filled the post with credit. That Mr J. W. Post's common-sense and keen love of fair play are splendid attributes and valuable assets of the. Association. That never was football more dignified in its management. That that dignity commands respect. That Captain J. Ll. Williams, the veteran secretary,, is as arduous as ever. That one remembers the time that the Associa- tion was dubbed a sleepv institution. That such a term now would be a libel. That Mr J. E. Hilton is an excellent spokes- man for Llandudno. Another point, please! That he generally has a base-work to his talk. That Dr. Huw was also present as a member of the Council. That the Roosters have: an enthusiast in him of the first water. That he is proud of his Council badge. Why not ? That one remembers a Rooster representative of a sporting nature who was always keen on raising a pint," Mr Chairman. That the Roosters are up-to-date Cocks of the walk." How befitting for the Roosters. What an uncommon crow? Eh! friend Ger- rard? That the Roosters are this, season triers' all the way. Ask Inigo." That one sees at times the clergy on the field at Llanrwst. That other places might copy the beneficent influence of such example. That the question of the University ground was raised at the meeting of the League. That when the Bangor ground is available, it is intended to use ait for their matches. That when the ground of Bangor is not avail- able, they will play on their own ground, which is exposed to any wind that may prevail. That it was pointed out that this would be an advantage to some clubs to play on, the shel- tered Bangor ground, whilst others would have to play possiibly in a hurricane of wind. That the University will very likely have to play on their own ground. That the Canaries are in the next round of the Welsh Senior Cup. That they are about the best cup-fighting team on the Coast. That all the same there was very little of the real cup-tie form on Saturday at Llandudno. That there was no, excuse as regards the weather. It; was perfect. Actually no wind. That the large crowd were hungering for a goal from the Llandudno side, so as to raise a cheer. But, alas! it never came. That Carnarvon deserved their victory, if only for their persistency and dish. That G, H.. Jones hadt much to do; but what he did was smartly done, and, moreover he saved a penalty kick, which had a great in- fluence upon Llandudno's chances afterwards. That Albert Griffiths is, and always was, a very sterling back, and he defended gamely on Saturday. That Evan Hughes was not popular with the Llandudno crowd for his attitude towards Ifti, Jimmy Winda-ms. That this back can well dispense with some methods he had on, Saturday. He has the mak- ing of a good back, and should imitate A. Griffiths. That Johnny Griffiths has lost none of his prowess, and was a fearless tackier. That Mick1 Herbert was an untiring centre half, and J. Williams a worrier. That of the forwards Johnny Jones was the sprucest and most dangerous. That he has some very neat tricks, which bewilder opposing backs at times. That he was practically the life of the front rank That Hugh Roberts was a good partner for him. That Walter Jones as pivot, was a good worker and fed hi Si wings well. That Twm Bach was as tricky as ever. His peculiar passes were very timely. That R. H. Roberts made up a very good front rank. In fact, I question whether the Canaries could put a better on. That the best game I saw the Canaries play was against Bangor, on the city enclosure, when they defeated the Cityites. The game was a very fine one. I expected something of that form again on Saturday. That Stallard appeared to, be beaten by two rather soft shots. That it was not a game where there was any fine shooting, save one or two. That G. H. Jones and J. E. Williams were the rear defenders, and acted well, until the latter was sent off the field for some offence. That W. Edwards played well, and is growing in tact. He was really effective on Saturday. That T. Johnson was the pivot, and fed neatly the forwards, but needs a tie more bustle. That Harold Pearson had his hands full with plenty of work and quelling bickerings. That Harold is a fine sample of a sportsman and his popularity is, universal. Tbait W. A. Williams was not so, effective as o,n the previous Saturday week. That he had to meet a very stubborn! opposi- tion. Nevertheless, he did some nippy thingift. That Brookes-Evans was a very good trier. I liked him on Saturday. He does some very un- expected things. Play up, Brookesey! That Jack Brown did not manage to get many of his shots in. He was well watched, and grassed when dangerous. That. R. Davies1 was perhaps the most effective forward, for it was from his foot that G. H. Jones had the greatest anxiety. That Bob is worthy of his place in the team. That little Jimmy Williams was hustled too much,. That he was seldom allowed toi get his fine centres in. That Llandudno met a better fighting side in this match, and must now wish Carnarvon further success in their next round. That the Gulls of Colwyn Bay will have cause to remember their visit to Bangor for some time to come. That the Bangor University team sang the octave song of victory. And what Ra Ra's That Claude Davies and Smedley make up the 'Varsity left wing, and a right good one, too. That Wright, the 'Varsity pivot, is a great shot. That he excelled himself on Saturday in scor- ing. That he has excellent colleagues to work with. -That Matthews and T. E. Jones were the right wing. That the Collegians' quintette will take a lot of beating on Saturday's form. That the match was played on the Bangor en- closure, and was watched by a large crowd. That W. J. Jones and Don Rowlands (ex-Beau- marisians) were two otf the halves, and rattlers they are, too. That H. L. Brock was the other half, which made up a fine central line. That Owen; and C. H. Jones were backs, and Colwyn Bay forwards felt their work when try- ing to get through. That Hallwood must have felt a bit discon- certed between the sticks. That he has possibly undergone one of his toughest tasks of the season. That D. Roberts and H. C. Waterhouse were at times quite nonplussed. That Ned Griffiths, Tommy Wellings, and R. Rowlands—a strong half-back line-had a very nimble time of it with the busy bees of tne 'Varsity front rank. 'That Stanley Hughes managed to get the only solatium for the Bay. That W. E. Roberts, Southern, H. P. Wil- liams, and Howell Prichard made up the front line. That Colwyn Bay's hope is to have the retort courteous when the 'Varsity visit Colwyn Bay. That the game with Holyhead and Llandegai on Saturday on the Kingsland Oval was brimful of incidents that proved very exciting now and again. That the Holyhead team were the very cream of the local footballers. lit had been decided to put the best men available ÜIlI the field, as it was felt the visitors were men that would re- quire some beating. That many think the Harbourmen's efforts were faultless, but no such thing as perfection is readied on earth, says Roland." That the football prophet is not dead, as it was predicted that Holyhead would win by 3 to T. That Mr. Percy Weekes, the Holyhead Secre- tary, is very energetic on behalf of football. That it is understood, that the Holyhead purse has gone rather low, and an appeal is made for funds. That it must be ..admitted that the Harbour- men are a good lot of fellows, and deserve sup- porting That this i? not intended as a reflection on Llandegai footballers, who are in every respect a first-class lot of players, and of fine physique. That on their own admission, however, in the ITarbourmen they had met more than their equals. That they took their crushing defeat-io-o,- splendidly, and to the credit of the Sealaxks they did not display an undue rejoicing in their great success. That Holyhead had to put a few reserves for- ward as emergency men, but they are players of great promise, and filled the gaps well. Cheer up, Llandegai. Do. not lose heart. That you may have better luck next time, lads. That Llandegai has done well in many of the .friendly matches, and Holyheadites would like to see them return again and play a more equal game. That the Holyhead captain is a youth of noble physique, and he may well be proud of his team. That Hugh Williams distinguished himself wonderfully on Saturday, and will doubtless be approached soon by some of the leading teams to give professional service, if he goes on as he hqs been doing That words of cheer are due to R. C. Jones, Johnny Jones, and! Salisbury Owen. That McNeill and others are looking up splendidly. Play up, Holyhead! That the Thrushes 01 Denbigh had their wings plucked at Sale, Manchester, by the Northern Nomads. That Denbigh are going through some experi- ences of late of an adverse order. That Rhyl and Carnarvon were the successful Welsh Senior Cup fighters on the Coast. That the Sand-Martinis and Canaries will have to go further afield. That it may be that the Canaries and Homers may meet again. What a gate, should that be the case. That Bangor Combination did well to draw with Oswestry at the latter place on Saturday. That there is no doubt but that the Bangor Corrubinatioin team this season, is a very improved one. Bra^o! That football has revived in Bettws-y-Coed, and there is a Thursday team in that town as well as Llanrwisit. That some familiar names appear in their ranks. That there was a very disappointing attend- ance at -he Rhyl-Conway cup-tie. That there wa;s but little leal interest felt in the match locally. That the prevalent opinion was that the Sand- Martins would qualify for the next round with- out difficulty. That the Jackdaws were flattered by the re- sult, and although they defended well, might have very easily' been, beaten by a much larger score. That Hughes in goal for the Jackdaws was in his best form, and others to do well were Owen and Craven. That the real strength of Rhyl lay in their resourceful half-backs, amongst whom Arche Carter was a shining light. That the Rhyl extreme wing men were tricky and! speedy, and were well supported by their partners. That Frost led the van well, whilst the de- fence was rarely seriously tested. That the play shown in the match went to prove once again that even those teams which occupy lowly positions in the Combination are superior to the North Wales Coast League clubs. "That a Beaumaris team played Normal Col- lege at Bangor on Saturday. That the Puffins were beaten 7-0 by the Nor- mals. That the Llechid Swifts made a draw with Glasinfryn Swifts at Coetmor Park on Satur- day in a Division II. League match. That Menai Bridge and Llangefni are keen rivals That they made a draw ini a League match at Llangefni on Saturday.

Tragic Death of Mr. Bartle. Great sorrow and regret were expressed in Llandudno and district on Saturday morning by the announcement the tragic death of Mr Albert Emmanue- Bartle, of Souithport, who for some years was conductor of the Pavilion Or- chestra, Llandudno. At the inquest, or.. Friday night, Mrs Bartle said her husband was about sixty-two years of age. They were married at the Registry Office ,at Ormskirk on the previous Wednesday. He had been somewhat worried by letters which had appeared in. the local Press recently as to tlie Corporaftion Band. That morning (Friday) wit- ness received from him a letter enclosing his will. In the letter he said he had executed the will in her favour he had been very, very seedy all day, simply for want of sleep." The letter continued—" Practising for my recital, to- gether with those complaining letters in the papers about the band, have got on my nerves, and made me unhappy I am taking a dose of medicine, and going to bed for a long sleep. Good-night. With love to you and James,—I am, your affectionate husband, Albert Bartle." Continuing, witness said ,she knew of nothing which had troubled deceased except the letters in the papers about the 'band, of which letters he kept cuttings. The Coroner said that some people did not care if they wrote letters to 'the papers which cut like a knife, and it was much worse when the letters were not signed. Continuing, the widow said deceased had been troubled with want of sleep as well as the let- ters about 100 Corporation Band. Further evidence was given, from which it ap- peared that Mr Bartle was discovered dead in bed with a razor in his hand. His throat was cut, and there was blood all over the room. The Cor oner said the jury could see that de- ceased had been very much, doubled by the criticisms in the local papers aut the band. The jury returned a verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane."

North Wales Coast Football League. THE WORK OF YOUNG REFEREES. THE CONDUCT OF SPECTATORS. NOVEMBER FIXTURES. A meeting of the Executive of the above League was held on Friday evening at the Sta- tion Hotel, Bangor. Mr. R. D. Richards pre- sided, and the following representatives were present: -Messrs. Percy Weekes (Holy-head), 1 Tom Edwards (Conway), L. M. Anderson (Ban- gor), J. E. Hilton (Llandiudno), J. D. Owen (Col- wyn Bay), T. Goodman Jones (Blaenau Festin- iog), J. G. Bacon (Menai Bridge), J. L. Harris (Carnarvon), T. Woodings (University College), Bertie Williams (Llanberis) the Treasurer (Mr. T. E. Purdy), and the Secretary (Mr. Evan LLoyd Williams). THE ASSOCIATION'S GIFT TO THE LEAGUE. The Chairmain referred with evident pleasure to the success of his motion at the meeting of the Football Aossociation of North Wales, held on Wednesday, whereby he asked for a monetary grant from the Association to the funds of the League, owing to certain drastic alterations in the balance-sheet. He was sure that they were all grateful to the Association for their very kind and considerate act. Mr. Anderson proposed a vote of thanks to the Association for their kindness, and Mr. J. D. Owen seconded, and it was carried, and a vote of thanks was also passed to Mr Richards, Mr Purdy, and Mr Weekes for their help in the matter. FINES FOR LATE STARTS. The following clubs were dealt with for late starts:—Colwyn Bay was reported for arriving Late at Llanberis. It was explained that the cause of the late start was the breakdown of a motor char-a-banc, in which the Bay team :UrlU commern,ced the journey for Llanberis. The mis- hap occurred on the Colwyn Bay side of Llan- dudno Junction. After some discussion, it was decided to let Colwyn Bay off with a caution, and to point out that thi,s was not the first time for such an occurrence to be experienced with regard to the Colwyn Bay Club, and sug- gesting that motor char-a-bancs be dispensed with in future as a means of transit. Bangor was fined 2s. 6d. for being forty minutes late at Blaenau Festiniog on the occa- sion of the league match. Llandudno were reported for being eight minutes late at Llamrwsit by the referee, Mr. Morgan, of Llanfairfechan. ML Hilton stated that the team left Llandud- no at 1.45 p.m., and although a late start was made from Llandudno Junction through the at- taching of a saloon with the Bangor team there- in,, the Amateurs were on the ground at 3.14 p.m. Mr. Harold Pearson, captain of the Amateurs, stated that he was ready to play on the ground having hurried his men, when he was talking to the referee for some moments waiting for Gillett to turn up. All the Llandudno players were on the ground when one of the Llanrwst players (Gillett) was missing. It was decided to call the referee's attention to his report, and exonerate Llandudno from blame in the matter, one member present re- marking that evidently the wrong team had been reported. Llanrwst was also reported for being late at Pwllheli—ij2 minutes—and it appears that Llan- rwst travelled with a motor char-a-banc and met with a mishap. Mr. Hilton proposed and Mr. Harris seconded that a fine of 2s. 6d. be imposed. Mr. Weekes proposed an amendment that Llanrwst be let off, as Colwyn Bay had been, with a caution as to the use of such convey- ances. The amendment was. carried. REPORTS ON YOUNG REFEREES. A discussion ensued as to how the newly-ap- pointed referees had succeeded with their work. Mr. Weekes reported that W. J. Parry, of Colwyn Bay, and Welch, of Crewe, had given him every satisfaction. Mr. Harris referred to Mr. Burkey's work at Carnarvon as chronically weak throughout, and that he blew his whistle several minutes before time, and called the players back afterwards to play. Mr. J. D. Owen reported that T. Williams, of Denbigh, was not strong in his work, and re- versed his decision. Mr. Tom Edwards corroborated Mr. Owen. The Chairman said he was glad to receive these reports, and fr. Hilton had done right in producing a newspaper sheet extract as to faulty refereeing at Llandudno in the Car- narvon match, and he complimented the. Press upon attacking referees as well as playeis when it was deemed expedient to do so. Mr. Tom Edwards Hear, hear. The Chairman thought it would be a good plan for members of the League to continue to watch the new men and report thereon, with a view of getting matters into proper form.

A discussion of much importance ensued as to the conduct of --ertain groups of rough specta- tors that were to be seen upon certain grounds, and whose language was distinctly objectionable and the general conduct of spectators wa.s also considered. Mr. J. D. Owen called attention to the fact of a certain writer having written concerning a certain alleged occurrence at a match in scath- ing terms. Mr. Harris stated that there were certain reasons why the Carnarvon club did not make more of the matter than they did but there was certain conduct by only a few that dis- turbed the harmony of the game. Mr Hilton, Llandudno, stated t'lat, they were in that town doing all they could to put an end to fcul language and improper conduct upon the field, and the Llandudno Committee had in- structed a policeman to tell three persons whom they knew to be guilty of such conduct that only on condition that they behaved themselves were they allowed to go on the ground. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman: That is the proper way to put an end to the objection. Mr. Harris said that the Carnarvon Committee had also taken drastic measures to eliminate from their spectators any objectionable language and improper conduct, and had arranged that one of the Committee should stand behind the visiting goalkeeper's goal to stem the exuberance of the juveniles and their attempts to annoy the custodian. Mr. Weekes stated that Holyhead did the same thing at their ground, and the Committee was doing all it could to elevate the tone of sport amongst their spectators. In the ensuing discussion it was decided to ask the Association to draft a letter to each club to a.sk that the committees of each club do their very utmost to stamp out bad language and dis- orderly behaviour upoc playing grounds. It was decided to hold the next meeting at Carnarvon. (Continued on page 10.)
