COMBINATION. DENBIGH v. BANGOR. THE THRUSHES VICTORIOUS. (BY" CLWYDIAN.") After a month's absence, Denbigh were at home to Bangor on Saturday. When the teams first met in a Combination fixture at Bangor, Denbigh went down to the tune of six goals to three. Since then, however, Denbigh have un- doubtedly showed a very much improved form, and their display both at Wrexham and Crewe had the means of creating confidence in therr supporters that the result on this occasion would prove to be more even than at Bangor. Owing to recent heavy rains the ground was very heavy, and in some parts covered with pools of water. When Referee Taylor, of Birkenhead, called the teams together at 2.30, there was a good gate in attendance, and the teams were as follows Denbigh: Goal, S. Griffiths; backs, T. Dick- ens and T. Smith half-backs, H. Evans, T. A. Davies, and T. Davies; forwards, R. M. Evans, E. E. Davies, R. Gallagher, R. Thomas, and D. Berwyn Davies. Bangor: Goal, W. Jones backs, Tom Jones and J. Jones; half-backs, H. W. Williams, Alii Thomas, and; j. Jones; forwards, R. Hum- phreys, A. Dargie, it. Tones, II. Davies, and A. Oliver. The visiting captain, won the toss, and played up the field. Hwfa Williams cnecked the openr i:ng advance of the home forwards, and it was very early in the game noticed that the struggle promised to be very keen and fast. E. E. Dav- ies Let go a deadly shot, but the visiting custod- ian was applauded for the skilful way in which he saved. A few seconds later Jones was called upon to save a well-judged shot from T. A. Dav- ies, which he did at the expense of a corner. HUGHIE DAVIES, THE ARTFUL! At this point of the game the visitors re- doubled their efforts. Richie Jones led a spirited attack, with Oliver and Humphreys as his chief support. After H. Evans and Dickens had cleverly checked several advances by the visiting forwards, they, however, came up again and resumed the attack. This time their efforts were crowned with success, and Richie Jones very cleverly, passed T. A. Davies, and tried conclusions with Griffiths, but the latter parti- ally cleared; but Hughie Davies was lying in waiting, and sent the ball into the net. HWFA SCORES FOR DENBIGH. Tommy Davies left the field on account of injury. Denbigh at this point were making de- termined efforts to equalise, and it was only the stubborn defence of the two Jones's that kept them out. However, success came to them in a very sensational manner. R. M. Evans made a very fast solo run on the right, and finally sent in a terrific centre, and H. Williams, in trying to clear his lines, sent the ball through his own goal, much to the consternation" of the custod- ian and the delight of the spectators. E. E. DAVIES IN GOOD FORM. For some time after the resumption, honours were pretty evenly divided:, each of the twenty- two players playing an almost faultless game. The game was very fast, each of the goalkeepers being called in rapid succession to, save very dangerous shots. Denbigh, however, were des- tined to further success, which was initiated by Berwyn Davies and R. Thomas, and finally leit to the charge of E. E. Davies. who, all along, had played a very hard and consistent game. The latter threaded his way through the line of defence and put his side ahead with a re- markable shot. Bangor, for a while, made determined, at- tempts to get on level terms, and Humphreys and Oliver, in turns, made very fine efforts to score, but in this they were continually held at bay by the home defence. For the last few minutes of the first halt the game was more in favour of Denbigh, and R. M. Evans gave. Jones several long ranges to deal with, which he did in masterly fashion. During a melee in front of goal, the merest bit of luck would have placed Denbigh further ahead, but T. Jones relieved. Half-time Denbigh, 2; Bangor, 1. On resuming, Bangor at once became the ag- gressors, and Griffiths saved well from Richie Jones. Both teams at this point were playing very strongly and determinedly, and although Denbigh were getting the best part of the game, Bangor, on the other hand, were proving them- selves far more dangerous whenever they made a breakaway, and it was only by the clever cus- todianship of Griffiths that they were not suc- cessful in coming on level terms. Their hopes of equalising were, however, more remote when Dick Thomas moved up on the left, and passing to Berwyn,, the latter made one of his fine runs, and although impeded by T. Jones, beat W. Jones with a good shot. Within a few more minutes Dargie reduced the lead of the home- sters. Play afterwards became very exoiteable, the visitors coming within an ace of scoring on several occasions, whilst Denbigh were also un- lucky in not adding to their number of goals. Jack Jones very cleverly frustrated several pro- mising runs by R. M. Evans, and after a couple of corners for Denbigh, ,the game ended Denbigh, 3; Bangor, 2.

COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. HOLYHEAD SWIFTS. MISERABLE EXHIBITION BY THE AMATEURS. THE SEALARKS DRAW! (BY VIGILANT.") Only a very few seasons ago what a drawing team were the Holyhead Sealarks. What crowds used to turn up to watch their skill. What en- )fchusitasits used to follow them whithersoever they went. Nothing suceeds like success, and in the football world this is strangely true. Let a team do well, and its supporters will help it to do better. But, with rare exceptions, let a team go down the nick a bit, and its sup- porters desert it. I do not know whether this applies to Holyhead, for unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of seeing the Holyhead- oniains at home but I am certain it applies to many other teams in the League. There were faces to be seen amongst the folLowers of the Sealarks in the palmy days that were not at Llandudnrj on Saturday, but the ever-faithf-ul and enthusiastic Secretary, Mr. Percy Weekes, was, of course, with the jolly Harbour boys. Certain teams are favourites with the crowd, and Holyhead is one of them, and their visit to Llandudno generally attracts all Holyheadonians who may be employed on the great railway system at Llandudno Junction and other places. A POOR FROTNT RANK. Llandudno had one of the most effete front ranks I have seen for a long while, and I trust I shall never see such an exhibition again. It was, with very rare exceptions,'a:bout one of the most flim-flam displays, and the ground be- neath the Amateurs' feet almost groaned in despair thereat. Unlike the nimble Sealarks, there was a spirit pervading the quintette-othat is, generally speaking-which made their sup- porters feel very vexed, with them, and never did the unforward line give less value for the money paid at the gate. Even the disgustirag crows who sneaked on the field without paying were not satisfied, and as they are good judges one cannot help but sympathise with them. Poor things! THE MISSING WILLIAMSES! Johnny Vv illiams and Jimmy Williams were absentees in the forward line. Hence the dis- organised state of the quintette. David Griffiths and W. Settle Owen were the new-comers into the ranks. The latter was an abject failure as outside left, and poor Jimmy on the stand must have wept when he saw his substitute, or an apology for one. Settle was painful to watch, and nine times out of ten the clcverer Sealarks made things hum for him, and he was left looking foolish. This player can play but what ailed him on Saturday, the Great Orme only knows. Amateurs' Reserves, please bucK him up. Davidi Griffiths, the other reserve, has an unfortunate manner of getting tangled re- cently. He seems to finnick with the ball, and does not gain ground. Oh for those deer- like runs of Dave and his flying and accurate centres on the run! But, alas! I am afraid time has shorn Dave's brilliance in this matter. Well, the front rank was D. Griffiths, W. A. Williams, Brookes-Evans, R. Davies, and Settle." The halves were Jack Brown, T. Johnson, and Harold Pearson the backs J. H. Jones and little Willie Wynne, who unfortun- ately twisted his knee at the close of the game, and Stallard.. ELEVEN FINE SEALARKS. The Holyhead birds were a fine lot, and al- though my friend, Percy, says several fine plumed ones had to be left behind, the eleven on view were good valier." The blue and white vertical srtripes of the Harbourites adds stature to the figure, and looks well, whilst Llandudno, after their mud baths at Llanrwst on Thursday, had their togs at the laundry, and had to wear red shirts. I wonder if there is a f-aitte. about tihds blood colour for the 'Chers ? They never seem happy, or ever do extra well in the danger-signal colour. However, I am not superstitious, but rather think that the Sea- larks were masters of the Cormorants in their display—'although the Holyhead quality did not reach the high-water mark of the Harbour. It was the utterly feeble, disjointed, and irritating display of the Llandudno forwards that made Holyhead's efforts look more sparkling, and gave one's Little Mary a queer sensation. The Sealarks fully deserve their one point, and for a long time looked like taking two. If they had done, it would have done Llandudno plaiyex, I beg pardon for the latter woxd-goodi, The now-must-be veteran Collier was in goal, with 0. Morgan and Rowland NVib-illamis in front of him. Louis Jones, and the athletic and pleasant featured W. T. Jones, and the tough, though not so adlroit player as he was, Dick Ellis, were the halves. J. Wallis Jones, the exceed- ingly nimble, and the centre-half's little brud- der," R. C. Jones, was his partner on the right wing; my namesake, Hughie, of the Williams ilk, was the pivot, and the refined-looking Salis- bury Owen, and the quiet working Johnnie Jones, of Holyhead "London" fame, was the left wing. Truly, a serviceable and plodding eleven, which will dievelope into a better lot as time goes on. Da iawsn, Caergybi! WANTED! A REFEREE. Mr R. D. Richards, the chairman of the League, was to have been the referee, but lie was unfortunately in the grip of the common enemy-the" flu,and as there was no one else to take the post, the teams agreed to have Mr J. H. Vincent as controller of the game. Mr Richards wrote to the chairman to. say he could not be there, and that he had intimated the League Secretary, but no official referee was present. THE SEALARKS SCORE EARLY. The Sealarks won the toss, and at once took advantage of the breeze behind them, and gaily cantered Stallardwards. It was at once seen that there was little cohesion in the home front rank, and ere many minutes were gone, Holy- head had defeated Stallard with what appeared an easy shot. There was not a single cheer to mark the event. What a change from bygone days, when such an event would have caused the leather-lunged supporters of Holyheadonia to yell themselves hoarse. Still the Sealarks fully deserved the lead on the general run of the play THE CORMORANTS SOON EQUALISE PER BROOKSEY. After so soon a reverse, the indifference of the home set was for the nonce put aside, a.na after getting up towards Collier, Brookes-Evans managed to defeat the Holyhead custodian. It was a singular equaliser, and Brooksey was badly hurt after netting through a smack on the abdomen from the ball. The game was suspended for a few moments, and Brookes had to retire for a while from the arena. Needless to say, and unlike the quietness attending the other goal, a shout of joy rent the air. Brookes missed a penalty. After this, the game some- what improved, withi Holyhead the better side, and Hugh Williams managed to give his side the lead with a good shot. A dis-spiriting kind of game was seen until half-time, when the score was Holyhead 2 Llandudno, 1. Brookes, amidst a volley of cheering from the enthusiastic juveniles round the goal, and applause from the adults, had returned to play previous to the end of the first half, Llandudno had slightly the best of matters for a while in the second half, but the narrow squeaks of net- ting the ball were irritating to. Llandudno spec- tators. Several corners were gotten, but to no avail; and here let me give unstinted praise to John Henry Jones for his magnificent placing of the baLI. They could not be better; but, score the Amateurs could not. The display of the for- wards of the home side was lamentable. To use a vulgarism, they could not sbioot for nuts." "Settle" seemed as if he could do nothing right. If he did now and again, although it seems paradoxical to say so, it appeared by accident. What a different team was Llandud- no on this day to the Thursday previous. My conscience, what a change to be sure No cup is coming Llandudno way upon the form shovvn on Saturday. Mark ye! the fact, ye wretched- playing forwards. BROOKES EQUALISES AMIDST JOY. A kind of rally permeated the homesters as time and opportunity were fast fleeting. Several cases of hard lines were seen; but what was the use? It was netting that was wanted. Who could do it? The disappointment amongst the spectators was intense. They howled, they anathematised, and they encouraged alternately. What, Holyhead to beat the. Cormoraruts after so many times failing an the Council ground? It seemed to the Llandudno mind terrible to think Off such a thing. Holyhead were very near in- creasing their lead on several occasions, and it seemed for all the world as though it would be accomplished. Harold came into the forward rank, and changed places with "Settle." There was a great improvement in the forcing of the game. A beautifully placed corner kick saw the ball pass over several players, and the villain Brookes met it with his head, and planted it past Collier like a flash. More cheers. Less bad temper on the part of the crowd, and rad- iant hopes of a win. But that never came. And so ended what I considered a very flat, tame, ,and unattractable game, with a draw. Final: Llandudno, 2; Holyhead, 2. NOTE, The match was one in which it was impos. sibl.e to enthuse, therefore it would take a lot of straining to pick out any great thing on either aide. It was a display that was quit-C un- worthy of the teams, and particularly so that of Llandudno. May the god of consistency at- tend the Amateurs more frequently. And so say all of us.

CONWAY v. LLANBERIS. ANOTHER TWO POINTS FOR THE JACKDAWS. (BY" RAMBLER,") One of the most miserable games, ever wit- nessed on the Morfa took place last Saturday, when Llanberis paid Conway their first visit. The Blues were short of three of their players— Tom Jones, playing with Bangor Combination at Denbigh; J. R. Jones, resting through an in- jury received the previous Saturday; and D. O. Davies, owing to a previous appointment which could not be cancelled. A trial was given to two new players, W. Owen and Jones, both of whom were failures. The third man to fill the vacancy was Wilson, the old war horse, who started as a custodian, but ultimately figured as inside left forward. Mr E. Ll. Williams was the referee. The teams were as follows: — Llanberis: Goal, R. 0. Roberts; backs, R. T. Hughes and W. P. Pritchard halves, Darnel Jones, Buck, and W. R. Williams; forwards, Rees Jones, W. H. Williams, E. Lloyd Hoigbes, R D. Evans, and D. Roberts. Conway: Goal, II, J. Wilson; backs, ob Owen and 0. Ellis; halves, W. Evans, W. Owen, and Sam Hughes forwards, Tom Crav- en, Joe Hughes, Llew Parry, A. Jones, and Sam Parry. Conway played towards the river. The visit- ing pivot got possession,, and getting round W. Owen, he looked all over a scorer, when W. Evans came to the rescue. The visitors were mo,st persistent, and from a throw in on the left E. Lloyd Hughes ran through the home defence and shot hard for goal, Wilson partly clearing; but he was defeated a second time by the visit- ing captain. This reverse was the means of put- ting more ciiasih into their play, and it was not long before Joe Hughes had equalised the .score. After Llew Parry had missed an easy chance of increasing the score, Tom Craven sent in one of his brilliant centres, which Joe Hughes breasted) into the net. The visitors were not downhea-rt-ed in the Least after this second reverse, and Wilson was kept busy in goal, bringing off a couple of clever saves. The home defence had a warm time of it for some time. It was getting near the in- terval when Llew Parry, the home custodian, scared with a splendid shot from long range. Coffee time arrived with the score Conway, 3; Llanberis, 1. Sam Hughes tried from long range on his own, and he was delighted to see; the shot bounce over Roberts into the net. Llew Parry, who now acted as custodian, was having an easy time of it. But the last ten miuntes saw a wonderful change in the play of the Quarry.men, and Llew Parry brought off some marvellous saves, and injured himself, but soon resumed. A fifth goal was added to the home score, as the result of one of the backs putting through his own goal, a poor game thus ending in a win for Conway, the final result being: Conway, 5; Llanberis, 1. COMMENTS. Llanberis have a fine set of forwards, but their defence is only moderate. Roberts, the custodian, gave a poo £ exhibition but I under- stand this was his first ,game. Conway team was completely disorganised, and all of them could be seen at times to be in each other's way, es- pecially so in the case of the forwards. They must be at their best next Saturday if they mean to turn the tables on Bangor.

FESTINIOG v. BANGOR UNIVERSITY. THE MODERN ATHENIANS AGAIN TRIUMPHANT! (BY INIGO.") The weather in the quarry town was cold and damp on Saturday, when the 'Varsity men paid their first visit in a League match. The home boys were handicapped by the ab- sence of two or three of their best players; the 'Varsity were also minus one or two from their ranks—.and Referee Mr Walter Parry set the game in motion with the teams represented as follows Festiniog Goal, Smith; backs, Tom Hughes and M. E. Morris; halves, W. J. Penny, Will Jones, and W. H. Williams; forwards, Jack Jones, Whittaker, W. Meirion Jones, W. R. Owen, and E. Lloyd Hughes. Banigor University: Goal, J. Daniel; bacics, J. H. Hughes and C. H. Jones; halves, A. Wil- liaros, Don Rowlands, and H. L. Brock; for- wards, T. E. Jones, J. E. Mathews, F. Wright, W. Griffiths, and Lloyd Davies. The home side held a stern hand, and the play was kept in the Bangor half. Mathews, by superb passing, brought danger to the home custodian. The support which Mathews de- served from the front line, however, was not forthcoming, and .effort after effort went behind. Still the pressure continued1, only to show the excellent defensive powers of little Tom Hughes, the home right back, who time and again cleared ugly rushes at close quarters. A continuance of the pressure, resulted in Wright scoring ,the firsit goal for the 'Varsity. This came as a result of some clever footwork by the for- wards quite baffling the home custodian, and gave no chance of a save. Bangor continued to hold the iu(p,,per hand. A spirited' attack was now made on the Bangor (defence Hughes and Jones proving themselves .stubborn at their work. Both Jack Jones and Meirion were de- termined in their efforts, and were well assisted by the left wing. Whittaker, the inside righif, was suffering from an injured knee, and was of little use to the attackers. Just at the right moment, the 'Varsity for- wards showed excellent combination, and their movements were loudly applauded. The students were still in quest of goals, and hugged the shooting area continu- ously., Pennry clearing his lines several times in fine style; once especially he brilliantly came to (the rescue when Smith was, out of his charge. Both Griffiths and. Wright directed the leather against the post, and from a scrimmage just in front of the home goal IPeruny touched the ball, which swerved quickly around and in- to the net, half-time being sounded with the score: Bangor University,. 2; Festiniog. o. Whittaker took the place of Smith in goal, the little custodian taking his place on the in. sidie right. From the kick off the homesters gradually worked down in front of Daniel and Smith with a tricky shot clean .beat the wily custodian,, recording the first goal for the home side. The game now grew faster, and the 'Var- sity men were again swarming in front of the homef goal. A corner for the students gave no advantage. A penalty was granted to the home team, and Meirion took the kick and, easily scored. Dashing play by the 'Varsity forwards was seen, from which they gained a corner. Don Rowlands missed a good opening. The students now helid; 'the upper hand, the forwards showing excellent form, and from a combined move Wright scored number three for the 'Var- sity. Jones was seen racing along the line in the diorection of the home goal, sending in a splendid centre, which Wright met and banged into the net. From this to the close of play Bangor showed' themselves to advantage, Whit- taker having to. clear several nasty shots in quick succession. Final: Bangor University, 4; Festinioe. 2. COMMENTS. The game was not a great game, but some fine passing was witnessed by the students, the best work that I have seen this season, and had the ground been longer, instead of a miniature pitch, some fine runs would have been seen, For the home side Smith dluring his time in goal did same good work, and Tom Hughes at back was fine. Morris was not smart enough to cope with the 'attack. I ihave seen, the centre line in better form. Will Jones was not him- self. The forwards in the first half were en- (Continued on page 5.)
