LLANFAIRFECHAN v. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RESERVES. A SHARE OF POINTS. There was only a sprinkling of spectators to watch this match in the Brynyneuadd Park on Saturday afternoon. Llanfairfechan were fully represented, out the Junctionites were minus two players. They were fortunate in securing the services of one man, but he was simply a passenger throughout. Five of the first eleven from the Junction turned out, and when the re- doubtable Tom Jones made his appearance, some of the home supporters were heard to say that the Bangor Combination team had been sent down to play. However, with ten men only, the Junction started, the whistie being in charge of Mr. Wil- liams, Llandudno Junction. There was some pretty play at the opening, and as a result of the efforts of the homesters, who were well backed up by W. J. Jones, the ex-'Varsity man. G. O. Jones secured the first goal, after a ser immage on he goal line. Both ends were visited in turn, and the defence ol each side proved theinseives equal to the occasion. A sprint along the touch line by Lunt for the visitors looked dangerous. He worked himself around Dan Jones, ?nd when in a good position, he beat Menley from long range, Brookes-Evans putting the finishing touch to the goal. With the scores level, each side exerted itself,

MENAI BRIDGE v. PENMAENMAWR. Penmaenmawr with an unbeaten record visited the Menai ground on Saturday. Referee Mr. Burkey lined the teams up as follows:- Men.'ii Bridge Hugh Jones George Williams and William Edwards; J. C. Jones, R. T. Wil- liams and H. Lloyd Williams J. Rowland Owen, A. Hughes, E. Instone, W. :\1. Jones r.d J Gcrrard. Penmaenmawr: Bob Lloyd W. E. Hughes and Hugh Jones; Cabeb Williams, John Jones and Thomas Jones W. Lunt, A. G. Jones, R. Morris, Charies Sloane and Edward Williams. Menai kicked off and started pressing, but W. E. Hughes sent the ball well back. Play in mid-field continued, neither side getting much advantage until the visiting forwards got away and in a trice the bail was netted. The next move was an attack on the visiting goal after a pretty exhibition by the Petrels' right. Owing to the Penmaen defence the movement proved futile. Up the field went the School Boys" again, and scored. The homesters now made strenuous efforts to scope, but the forwards were entirely at a loss in front of goal. A penalty was awarded Menai Bridge, which was taken by G. W illiams, who failed to beat R. Lloyd, the latter conceding a corner. Another penalty was awarded the homesters, .and this time Instone made no mistake. Half time: Penmaen, 2; Menai, 1. During the second half the visitors were con- tinually bottled up in their own half of the ground, but the home forwards were very un- lucky not 10 score. When the visitors did rush away they scored. Final Penmaen, 4; Menai, i The visitors played a more open game. Their forwards, especially the right wing, nad plenty of dash in them. The half backs and backs on both sides played well, and the visiting goalie is worthy of mention. The- Menii forwards should learn the art of accurate passing and shooting. I.e-;s fumbling with the ball, boys, but shoot!

FRIENDLIES. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. OSWESTRY ATHLETIC. THE THEI{S IN GOOD FORM (BY" FIDELIS "). The Llandudno Amateurs had another open date on Saturday owing to Colwyn Bay having to pay a visit to Llanrwst in the replayed cup- tie, and having in view the heavy programme for the next five weeks, it was thought advis- able to arrange a match with Oswestrv in order to keep the men in trim. The visitors came down with a great reputation, and as the Ama- teurs are at present playing well, a good game was anticipated. At the close of the game I was firmly convinced that Oswestry either belied that reputation, or the class of football round Oswestry does not compare very favourably with that seen on the Coast. The Amateurs simply played with their opponents, and had they taken the game seriously a big score would have been the result. There was also another thing I should like to point out, and that was the tactics of the Oswestry backs, who, instead of playing the game, made a special study of how to place the home forwards offside. This is a thing I should be sorry to see adopted by Coast teams, as it was the means of spoiling the game from a spectacular point of view. The Amateurs made the experiment of play- ing Harold Pearson at inside left, and judging from his display on Saturday Harold would be a very dangerous foiwaid. The visitors won the toss, and Cleeve started the game before a moderate gate. The Cormor- ants were the first to attack, and little Jim made a fine run and centred well but Johnny, on the right wing, was pulled up for offside. The visitors now got on the move, and some rather neat work was put in by Archer and Kynaston, the former swinging the ball across the goal, but J. II. Jones cleared splendidly. Jack Brown then got hold, and after a dashing run up the field he sent to Cleeve, who took the ball close in before transferring to little Tim Davies, who took advantage of the gift by neat- ly beating Roberts after about fifteen minutes' play. The visitors' backs now commenced their exhibition of how to put your opponents offside, and it was some time before the homesters got through. Brown started the movement by giv- ing to Tim, who, aftej a tricky run, sent across to Harold, who was close in. The visitors' custodian left his charge, but failed to clear, and Harold fell as he attempted to shoot, but while on the ground he swung his foot round and sent into an open goal. Stallard, for the homesters, was having an easy time, as, though the visitors had some chances, their attempts at goal were very crude. Johnny Williams no'.v treatc-d us to a fine run, and a beautiful "entre, which Cleeve simply turned into the net. During this half it was a pity to see the play of the homesters' right wing spoiled. This was mainly due to the visitors' right back, who as soon as a movement started was seen to run up the field and place them offside. Harold had hard luck with a terrific drive, which sailed juot over the bar. Half time score Llandudno, 3 Oswestry, o. < THE CORMORANTS TOO GOOD FOR OSWESTRY. On resuming, the homesters at once took up the attack, Jim William.: rounding the defence and sending in some nice centres, but the home- sters were being continually pulled up for off- side. Johnny fixed on to a centre from Jim, but sent over the bar. Jim also tried one on his own, and Roberts was decidedly fortunate in fisting this away. The homesters were now having things all their own way. J. H. Jones and Ben Morris were at times up in the front rank. Stallard was also tempted to leave his charge and come up the field in the hopes of getting a kick. This half was well advanced I before anything serious occurred, Cleave being the means of another score. The ball was drop- ped well inside the penalty line, and Cleave was I seen making a dash, but B. Jones intercepted him, and in trying to clear he drove into his own goal. Johnny Williams, after a brilliant run, sent across the goalmouth for Cleave to I again touch into goal. Johnny was unable to score on his own, and try as he would he couldn't find the net. It was certainly not his day out. The homesters' half back line was more than A match for their opponents, which ) was in a way 10 be regretted, as we hoped they would have a busy time in preparation for the next few weeks. The only men in the visitors' ranks who made anything like a show were W. Jones at right back and R. Groves at centre half. As for the remainder, the least said the better. Result Llandudno, Oswestry, i

R. Pritchard, and Morris Jones; Hugh Lloyd, J. W. Evans, G. Buck, E. Lloyd Hughes, and Daniel Roberta. Normal College: D. T. Evans; W. C. Lord and F. P. Long J. McLelland, W. Evans and J. Phillips Hopwood, Roose, Hannaby (capt.), Pepper and Werrv. it This match was played at Llanberis on Satur- day in fair weather, and was the first friendly of the season. To be accurate, it was a guaran- tee match There is not much to say about the play. Llanberis had Bob Lloyd out for the first time this season, and he was a Trojan, bottled up Hannaby (the amateur international) many a time. The game was very pretty to watch. The homesters won the toss, and the wind was blowing from the Pass of Llanberis'. The Collegians had to face this in the first half. In the first twenty minutes Llanberis were hold- ing their own, and Daniels was called on to save, but he failed, and Roose drew first blood for the College. Hannaby made a fine run, beat both backs, and scored. Half time College, 2 Llanberis, o. In the second half Liajiberis were facing the wind, but they played better football. Buck had a penalty awarded against him for hands in the parallellogram, but Roose shot straight Hannaby made a run from midfield, and scored number three for his side. Hughie Lloyd went along the line in fine style, and beat the Col- lege keeper all the way. Result: Normal College, 3 Llanberis, 1.

PENMAENMAWR RESERVES v. TREGARTH. The above game was p'ayed at Penmaenmawr on Saturday. The teams were:—Penmaen- mawr: II. R. Jones; Ifor Jones and Trevor Jones; W. Coleman, R. S. Jones and W. O. Williams R. Jones, J. Sloane, E. Lunt, H. Hughes and Bob Lewis. Tregarth W. J. Wil- liams G. O. Pritchard and W. M. Williams W. Jones, J. Owen and R Roberts G. Ellis, R. Jones, G. Evans, M. Griffiths and T. H. Jones. Tregarth won the toss, and immediately made tracks for the home goal, and aftr five minutes G. Evans scored for them. Some midfield play followed, and Tregarth soon scored again through G. Ellis. The homesters now bucked up and succeeded in reducing their opponents lead. E. Lunt being the scorer. Give and take play followed, and the half time arrived, the score being 3 goals each. The goals for the homesterg had been scoied by J. Slonae and Bob Lewis, and for the visitors by T. II. Tones. J The homesters began to attack strongly, and could do everything but .core. All manner of shots being charged down by the defenders. A very exciting game ended with the result: Penmaenmawr, 3; Tregarth, 3. NOTES. Th:s being the Reserves first match a bit of advice will do good. Their greatest failing was at halt back, where the tackling was very rashly done, with the result that they were often passed by the speedy Tregarth forwards. The full backs did very well, but the forwards were very weak before 'the goal. The goal keeper, considering his accustomed place is full back, performed veiy creditably. The visitors were a very well-balanced learn, all to a man playing a hard game. Their best men were the full backs, the centre half and the left wing.

WELSH SENIOR CUP (Preliminary Round). DENBIGH v. MOLD. ANOTHER DISGRACEFUL DEFEAT. (BY T: VANGUARD.") I fear this week that I shall have to ask you, kind readers, to excuse my tears, a perfectly reverse plea from that which I asked last week. Then, I had hopps that the Denbigh team was again finding its feet, but alas after Saturday's disgraceful performance, when they met Mold in the preliminary round of the Welsh Senior Cup, I feel inclined to think that the previous Satur- day's splendid display was only the last flicker 'ere the fiame went out completely. The game was a perfect fiasco from start to finish. There was one change from the team that inspired me with such buoyant hopes, that being R. T. Williams, who substituted 1 'artwright, the latter being away from home. About 100 supporters accmopanied the Mold team, and the gate was large. The referee was Mr. Davies, Wrexham, and the teams were:—Denbigh: Hayward, goal; J. P. Evans and T. Dickens, backs R. T. Wil- liams, Ted Hughes, and Hughie Evans, half backs J. Tuckfield, E. E. Davies, Dick Thomas, Harry Randies and Berwyn Davies (captain), forwards. Mold: Joe Evans, goal; Ted Davies and John David Williams, backs Matthias, Aiec Davies and Allan Hughes, half backs; Oswald Lewis, J. Edwards, William Davies, Hughes and Jimmie Roberts, forwards. At the outsat of the game it was easily seen that the Mold team meant real business, for no sooner had the ball been centred than Jimmie Roberts had the ball; he raced away, and sent in a swift shot. Let it at once be said that Hay- ward cleared wonderfully well. Mold forced a corner, which, however, was not at all danger- ous. Hughie Evans, in tackling an opponent, gave Mold another corner. This also proved fruitless, but they amply made up for it a few minutes afterwards, when Edwards scored the first goal for them. DENBIGH LIVEN UP. Hark at the sound of the voices of the Mold spectators! Still their team came, penning Denbigh in their own half. Yet another corner thev had, but danger was removed from the Denbigh quarters v/hen that quiet, little un- assuming player--Nc-d Evan—obtained posses- sion. Denbigh now asserted their rights and pressed, but to no advantage. RIDICULOUS MISSES. Several free kicks were awarded the homesters, but in spite of such splendid advantages they nulled everyone, one when only a couple of yards from the goal.

North Wales Coast Football League. THE PRESIDENT'S SPORTSMANSHIP. Mr. R. D. Richards presided over the month- ly meeting of the above League at the North- western Hotel, Bangor, on Friday evening. The following representatives were also pre sent:—Messrs. J. G. Bacon (Menai Bridge), l David E. Roberts (Llandudno Junction), F. E. -"You-Hg-—-(Pwl-Hveli), J;- G. -Davies (Llanberis), Percy Weekes (Holyhead), H. O. Hitchings (Carnarvon), W. J. Jones (Glasinfryn), T. F. Evans (Penmaenmawr), W. J. Williams (Llan- llechid), E. Thomas (Bangor University), W. J. Jones (Llanfairfechan), Wrm. Owen (Llandudno), and the Secretary (Mr. Evan Lloyd Williams). The President of the League (Mr. T. F. Dargie) also put in an appearance during the evening. THE RESIGNATION OF BANGOR UNIVERSITY. 'II A letter was read from the Bangor University team resigning membership of the League, owing mainly to the question of expense. The expenses last season were £ II more than the previous one. Another reason was that the matches of the 'Varsity could not be played on the Bangor City ground. The 'Varsity asked for a return of their ft. deposit A discussion ensued as to the breaking of Rule 23 on the part of the 'Varsity this season, on October 15th. Mr. Thomas explained on behalf of the 'Var- sity the reasons that led to the non-observance of the rules. Mr. Percy Weekes, through the Chairman, closely cross-examined Mr. Thomas on the mat- ter. Mr. Dargie stated that he had made enquiries as to the 'Varsity team, and found that the 'Varsity had gone a little beyond their resources. Mr. Bacon thought the Bangor Secretary should have put the 'Varsity Secretary on the right tack, being more experienced than the other. He moved that they do not move any further in the matter with regard to Rule 23, and that the resignation be accepted. The Chairman said he was very sorry the 'Varsity had decided upon such a step, which was the outcome of financial difficulties. General regret was expressed that the cham- pions of last season were forced to such a de- cision, because of the smart play shown and the attraction the 'Varsity was to other clubs. Mr. Dargie asked Mr. Thomas if there was no possibility of the 'Varsity reconsidering their decision if a little pecuniary aid was given. He would be pleased to subscribe ^5 towards the deficit, and after more discussion it was decid ed to make it possible to re-open the question of playing matches on the Bangor City ground. Mr. Thomas said the matter would be con- sidered at a meeting of the 'Varsity Club on Monday evening. He wished to thank Mr. Dargie and the League for their kindness in the matter. PROTESTS. A protest was lodged against Mr. Shaw, the referee in the match between Penmaenmawr and Bangor at the first-named place and to the match standing. The protest was not entertained.

but the Llanfairiechan men were complete masters of the situttion at this point, and kept up a hot attack. A free kick was awarded the homesters, and with difficulty Llew Parry turned the course of the ball. It struck the upright, and Griffiths rushing up. planted it in the net, amidst cheers. Half time arrived with the homesters leading by 2 goals to i On resuming, midfield play was the order of the day, and in a few minutes Joe Hughes had got Manley completely beaten, thus drawing level. Renewed vigour was put into the game, and the Junctionites resorted to the one back game, which, no doubt spoiled several of the homesters chances, and which did not meet with the approval of the crowd However, when Lunt scored the third goal for the visitors, the spectators appeared to get disheartened, but not so the players, for just en time, they managed to get the equalising point through slack play in the full back line. The final score was Llan- fairfechan, 3; Junction, 3. COMMENTS. The game was a well contested one. The homesters were the best team and should have won, but for the faultiness of the forwards, some of whom had no idea of the passing, and especially was this noticeable from the outside left. Both teams strove hard to win. With re- gard to the spectators, although there were not many, they were easily heard, and it is not very encouraging for any referee to hear uncompli- mentary remarks made about him from the line. He hid a most difficult task to perform, and taken on the whole he did it 'veil. Will the Llanfairfechar; spectators kindly remember that the best of refeiees make mistakes, and some of them many a worse mistake than was made on Saturday.

MOLD'S SECOND POINT. Mold's second 60al came about in a most sur- prising manner. They were pressing. R. T. Williams fouled Oswald Lewis, and a free kick was given Mold, in consequence, which was nicely placed, and ended in Bill Davies banging in a surprise shot which beat Hayward com- pletely. DENBIGH DEFENCE. From the centre Mold again raced away, but they found John Parry wide-awake he cleared well, and sent on to Berwyn, whose finish was extremely weak. Hayward again distinguished himself, though, in one sense, it was a very lucky save. The defence of the homesters was not at al". strong had they played up to some- thing like their usual form, the score would have been considerably less against them. I think Hayward did remarkably well under the circumstances. The Mold custodian saved really well hot shots from some of the Denbigh men, but they were about the only shots with .any degree of force behind them that he had to deal with throughout the whole of the game. Play was transferred to the other end of the field, and Bill Davies had the satisfaction of knowing that the shot he sent in beat Hayward all to pieces. Denbigh were glad of the few minutes respite at ha'f time, which arrived with the score of 3-0 in Mold's favour. < THE SECOND MOIETY. The teams' positions having been changed, Mold were determined on having another goal, which came after the b-ill had only been in play a few minutes. Evidently Denbigh thought it was high time they should have one too. 11 They were g'ven a penalty kick, and Ned Evan made no mistake, the ball being directed entirely out of custodian's reach. COLLIERS PILE ON THE AGONY." I should think that the least said about this half will be the better in the interests of the Denbigh team. It was a very unwise policy on their palt in changing the positions of the play- ers. fhe Mold team simply ran away with them. They scored two more goals in rapid succession. Another one was practically cer- tain, but Hayward was quite alert, and kicked out. Bervtfyn had a try, but, as I have re- marked, his shots did not have that necessary sting behind them to be anything like effective. Denbigh were given a corner, but it was not at all nicely placed. A MOLD HALF SCORES. Mold, as usual, were pressing, and a Denbigh player, in attempting to avoid disaster, handled the ball. One of the visiting half Dacks took the kick, and his shot was entirely misjudged by Hayward. Seven goals to one Denbigh were A sadly beaten team, and all out of their positions Bill Davies scored two more, and just before the final whistle went yet another goal had been added. Final: Mold Town, i I Denbigh, 1.
