COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. BANGOR RESERVES v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. THE CORMORANTS FINE WIN ON TIME! (By "VIGILANT.") A I no After a succession of meritorious League victories the Homers are defeated. This occurred on the Bangor ground on Saturday. The victors were the Llandudno Amateurs, who thoroughly deserved their victory. It wL,, not a case of the best team losing, but the best team won undoubtedly. It is a very hard pill for Bangorians to acknowledge de- feat, especially when it is on their own ground, but the inevitable has at times to be openly acknowledged, and this was done by several Bangor friends on Saturday. One Bangor supporter said that it was very few, ii any other, teams in the League who could repeat Llandudno's jierformarice. It was a sparkling game at times, and Llandudno were full value for their win. Jack Brown was the utimate her:>, and when he put the issue of the match beyond doubt it is well that he is strong of limb as well as dauntless in pluck, else his arm would have been torn off by his elated collogues. LLANDUDNO WELL SUPPORTED. It was no secret that Llandudno went to Banger, not to give the Homers a good game, but confident oi winning. The team now available in Llandudno is one of the best for several seasons past, and it was reason- T 1— ill 11 if yl -B.oaa,gQr- ev-. With an ad- mixture of Combination talent, would have to contest every inch of the ground ere the 'Chers gave up. With the knowledge that the 'Chers had not been beaten up to diaite, and the personnel of the team pleasing everyone, it no wonder to find about one hundred spectators accompanying their pets to the Mecca If North Wales football. These spectators wre enthusiasts of the first

FESTINIOG v. LLANBERIS. A SHARING OF POINTS. (Tiv INIGO ".) These teams met on Saturday at New- borough Park, Festiniog. It will be remem- bered that when the teams met at Llanberis, Festiniog was victorious and piled up a heavy score. The home team on Saturday were minus Smith, the custodian, who is on the injured list, having received a kick on his thumb at Carnarvon the previous Satur- day. His place was filled by Davies, the Hettwsycoed goalkeeper. The team was otherwise at full strength, the players lining up in the following order, in charge of the Referoo Vincent Festiniog Goal, T. Davies; backs, Tom Hughes and M. J. Morns halves, Jim Lloyd, Will Jones and \V. H: Willi runs forwards, Bob Roberts, Johnnie Hughes, W. 1. Hughes., H. Collins and W. R. Owen Llanberis: Goal, Dan- iels backs, Bob Lloyd and Owen Morris; halves, Dan Jones, R. Prichard and W. R. Thomas; forwards, Hugh Lloyd, W. R. Williams, G. Buck, D. Roberts, and Willie Thomas. There was a fair company present, when the ball was set in motion, the home right wing at once asserting 'itself. Bob Roberts on the first visit send:"<r wide and Johnnie Hughes repeating the tor 11 uince a minute later. Llanberis gradually got into the home half and Willie Thomas had a pot at goal at long range. The clearance again let the home rght into the shooting area, and Johnnie Hughes missed a golden opportun- ity with almost an open goai. At this point the home side appeared to advantage, but as it afterwards proved they were just being weighed by their opponents, for Llanberis soon got going and really clever football was witnessed The home defence was quite inadequate to the call made upon it, and Davies found himself surrounded by the ) vis'ting attack, Hugh Lloyd sending an oblique shot which Davies failed to reach. The notching of this goal w early on seemed have a deteriorating effect upon the home players, for they hardly ever seemed to do the right thing, and the visitors kept them fairly penned in their own half, and only a spurt from a long kick by the backs relieved matters. A long shot by Will Jones went wide of the mark, whilst David Roberts sent a lightning shot across the goalmouth from which a corner was gained. Bob Roberts got well up when he centred to W. J. Hughes, who tested Daniels with a real hot one. This roused the visitors, and Buck getting possession transferred at Lhe right moment to W. R. Williams, who placed No. 2 past Davies. From the clearance, and as a result ot a kick from near the half way line by Will Jones, the home side .scored number one, and almost before the echo of the cheers had died away a penalty was granted the visitors, Willie Thomas being entrusted with the kick and he scored. HaJf time: Llanberis, 3; Festiniog, 1. THE FLAMINGOS DRAW LEVEL. The restart was marked by even play, most of which was in midfield, the home side being the first to assert themselves, a couple of corners being granted them in quick succession, both, however, were mas- terly dealt with. Bob Roberts tried his luck twice or three times for the homesters, but each time failed. The visitors had now a turn at pressing and they certainly more than held their own. A corner for Festiniog was paitly cleared, when Collins rushed in and scored. Collins again scored from a corner. Final: Festiniog, 3; Llanberis, 3. NOTES. There is one thing certain. It was not the home team's day out." No, it was Llan- beris's day, and they made the most of it. Without doubt, the game throughout was a very clean game, no feeling being ex- hibited To see a game without that tem- per being uppermost is quite a treat. There was footabll from beginning to end, and a good deal of classy play at times. Some splendid footwork and beautiful pass- ing oouts were seen. May we have more of such games. To come to the teams, Davies was not as comfortable as Smith on this class of ground. In the first part of the game the backs were both shaky, and mis- kicks were frequent; neither were the halves in good form. The two outside men were the most < onspicuous, although it was Collins who registered two of the three goals. Still, until the Last twenty minutes of the game the play of the whole line may be characterised as tame from what it shoald have been. For Llanberis, Daniels kept an excellent goal, whilst the two backs were sturdy de- fenders. The half line never gave an inch away with the exception of the last goal, which perhaps was a slight mistake by one of the halves Of the forwards, Willie Thomas was mcKt effective, although the whole line was good and understood each other well. Hugh Lloyd and W. R. Williams made some very pretty efforts at times, being well pivoted by Buck whilst Roberts gave Willie Thomas much good assistance. Play up Llaubeiis you have a lot of good foot- ball in you. 8""C

COLWYN BAY v. PWLLHELI. A LACKADAISICAL GAME! (BY "RAMBLER.") The game between these teams on the Colwyn ground was one of the worst I have yet witnessed this season, and on the day's play neither side deserved to win. True, Colwyn Bay played a splendid game during the first half, but the second was simply awful, not a single player on the home side appearing to assert himself in the least, and only for Hallwood they would have suffered a defeat, though having a lead of two goals at the interval. The Bay was at full strength, Hallwood turning out for the first time. The visitors had several reserves in their ranks, the regular players having dis- appointed them in the last minute. Mr. Morgan of Portdinorwic, was the referee, and the following composed the teams — Colwyn Bay: Hallwood; David Roberts and O. E. Williams; Ned Griffiths, Tom McCann and Dick Rowlands; Southern, Stanley Hughes, Phillips, Howell Pritchard, and Norman Pritchard. Pwllheli: Williams; Rowley Hughes and Griffith Davies W.- Griffith, O. Hughes, and T. T. Owen; W. Hughes, R. O. Mor- gan, Ben Evans, David Hughes, and Llew White. Pwllheli started operations before a fair gate, but the Bay were soon in evidence through Stanley Hughes and Phillips. The latter had an opening in the first few min- utes, but he lifted the ball high over the bar. From the goal kick Pwllheli made tracks on the left, David Hughes passing in the nick to time to White, only to see Dick Rowlands rush up coolly, and take posses- sion. Stanley sent in a terrific drive, which crashed against the bar, a lucky thing for Williams. Ben Evan, forced his way through, and W. Hughes was again in evi- dence on the right, but when he was nicely placed he was robbed by O. E., when he kicked out to touch. The thro-,v in saw the visitors make headway, and Hughes gave Hallwood a hot un, which he just managed to clear. Play now ruled on the Bay right. Stanley started a nice move, and when chal- lenged by Owen he passed out to Southern, who flashed round Griffith Evans, and Wil- liams was beaten with a high drive. After this success the Bay were all over their op- ponents, but Rowley Hughes and Griff Evans resisted all efforts, especially the lat- ter but I must say that I did not like his style, and almost all his shots went out of pLay. Norman Pritchard was now busy on the left, a watchful eye being kept on his movements by Will Griffith, who often frus. trated dangerous rushes by tipping into touch. But receiving a pass from Howell, Norman tried his luck from long range with a ground shot, and he must have been de- lighted when he found the ball pass under Williams' boot into the net. This was a foolish thing on the custodian's part to do, as he had ample time to pick the ball up. Though two goals behind, the visitors played up gamely, and up to the interval were pressing, but, thanks to McCann, Ben Evans was never allowed to get dangerous, and during a battle for possession between David Roberts and Ben Evans the whistle sounded for the interval with the score: — Colwyn Bay, 2; Pwllheli, o. sounded for the interval with the score: — Colwyn Bay, 2; Pwllheli, o.

COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RESERVES v. LLECHID SWIFTS. A DRAWN GAME. (B\ ROPIN HOOD 1 's This second League fixture took piaoe at Llandudno Junction on Saturday, when Lleciiid Swifts were the visiting team. A good game and a big crowd were expected. Mr. K. Hersee, Llandudno, was the referee, and lined up the players as follows prompt to the advertised time —Llandudno Junc- tion: LI. Parry; W. E. Jones and A. Dutton J. Rowen. H. Parry and J. H. Parry; T. Craven, David Parry, W. Brookes EhHJS, Johnny Morgan and Evan Jones. Llechid Swifts: R. A. Griffiths; W. Jones and E. Owen R. W. Thomas. T. Owen and Tom Jones; T. L. Roberts, T. Donaldson, W. C. Jone; George Williams and Joe Hughes. Llechid won the toss and chose to de- fend the bottom goal. They made their superiority felt early in the gaill-2, and easily held their own against the Junctionites. Llew Parry early had a few hot shots to part with, which he did in his best style. The junction forwards got to work steadily and a neaJt: pass by Brookes Evans set the left wing going. The Llechid Swifts returned, and when within the dreaded area, with the five forwards of Llechid pressing hard the home backs, Dutton, who was playing a good game, fell and the ball glanced from his foot to the net quite unexpected by Llew. This success for the visitors came about 15 minutes from the start. Down came the Junction, and after some nice dribbling by Brookes-Evans he sent the ball forward to Evan Jones who went flying down the wing, when he banged in a shot which Griffiths marvellously turned round the post, and this save brought a cheer from the crowd, which he deserved. The Junction had a go this time. T. Craven banged in a hot one from the rght. Griffiths saved, but Evan again got it in, but, the goalie turned it round the post. The Junction now was presodng hard on Griffiths, who was clearing time after time Good work again by Brookes led to another corner, but nothing came of this, and this proved the sound de- fence Llechid had. The Swifts again n.ade tracks towards Llew, and a nice pass from the centre was sent flying over the bar much to the d".li^ht of the crowd. Although Llechid had better combination and a much stronger defence th.:m the Junction, vet the Crows held their own, and although the visitors were leading at the interval one nothing. The Llechid were penned in, and W. Jones, Llechid back, emulated Dutton by heading through his own goal much to the disgust of the goalie who was quite unprepared for such a tiling. End tc end play followed, and the Junction boys were by far the better team now. Tomny Morgan and then Brookes Evans had the Llechid backs beaten when Griffiths saved every shot. Trv as they would Lhey could not beat Griffiths. Evan Jones and Craven, the two outside men had a try. A dropping shot compleitely beat Griffiths all over. There was a great cheer. Llechid now attacked more than ever, and Llew was at his best in saving shots from all directions, but Llechid were not to be beaten, and "1gain they attacked the Junction goal in earnest. It was surprising when the equaliser came. A shot from the half back line beat Llew to pieces. Llew was too short to reach the ball Matters were level once more, and both teams strove hard for the winning goal but the defence of both teams stood their ground well, and a well contested game ended with the result: Junction, 2 Llechid SwiPs, 2.

GLASINFRYN v. MENAI BRIDGE. riayed on the ground of the former on Saturday last. Referee, E. Lloyd Wil- liams, of Bangor, lined up the teams in the following order:- Glasinfryn: T. Davies; J. R. Jones and Will Thomas; Whitehead, Charles Pierce (captain), Edwin Davies Robin Thomas Hughie Edwards, David Hughes, Frank Pierce, Will Thomas. Menai Bridge: W. Owen; G. Williams and W. Edwards J. C. Jones, R. T. Williams and H. Ll. Williams; A. Hughes, J. R. Owen, Inston, W. Jones, J. Gerrard. Play in the beginning by both sides was nothing to brag .about, and the suspense was relieved when the homesters broke away and forced a corner, Will Thomas sending in a well directed shot, which R. T. Wil- liams netted with a neat shot. From the centre the "Tigers" broke away, and they did everything but score. Play after this was of a sultry nature, both custodians be- ing tested in turn. It was easily seen that the homesters were the better side, but the visitors were a plucky lot, and on one occa- sion they rushed down the field in a body, Gerrard equalising from a scrimmage in the homesters' goalmouth. The homesters hav- ing been stung by this reverse, retaliated, and were finally awarded a penalty through an infringement of the rules. Hughie Ed- wards, taking the kick, sent in a rasping shot, which gave Will Owen not the least ghost of a chance, and put the homesters two up. Some very exciting play followed, Will Thomas, after some fine individual work, scoring the third for the Infrynites. Half time arrived, the score reading Glaninfryn, 3 Menai Bridge, 1. Upon resuming, the visitors were the ag- gressors, and the home defence had a very trying time, but try as they would they could not do the needful. Then all of a sudden David Hughes commenced a solo run, finishing up grandly by registering the fourth goal ior the homesters. Shortly after- wards David Pierce scored the 5th for the homesters, and after some midfield play Hughie Edwards rushed down and scored the sixth and last. Thus terminated a very exciting game. Final Glasinfryn, 6; Menai Bridge, 1.

Llanberis Harmless Dum(b)- Dum(b)s. Nil de9perandum! It's a long lane that hath no turning ours has been long. Fancy the Berries" gaining a point at last away at the expense of the Quarrymen of Fes- tiniog. Why the Ffestians have been dubbed by the Press Quarrymen more than Llan- beris I fail to comprehend, for both clubs are practically slate manufacturers. I happened to witness the Ffestians play- ing the Canaries at the Oval last Saturday week, and overheard this little interlude be- hind the "rigging." A stranger to Bob Smith enquired, "Where are you next Satur- day, Bob?" "Oh, at home to Llanberis!" "Is that so?" "ec; man-and won't we give them a thumping whacking, eh." Quite an easy thing, you know, a walk-over, you know. Now, Bob was not aware that he was talking within ear reach of Llanberis support- ers. Do you remember the above remarks you made, my dear little Bobus, at the Car- narvon goal end, and what do you say to- day? Changed your mind, eh? Barring this bad estimate of our team. you made amends by your very good, if not once or twice very clever goalkeeping. What you lack on inches you balance in alertness. You possess another inestimable quaimca- tion. You seldom lose your temper, and take your beating like a man, and smile the 90 minutes through. It's a virtue that some thin-skinners should emulate to ad- vantage, for there are far too many players yet prone to lose their temper. You saw

Vigilant's "Post Bag." Benedict."—You are right. There have been many maniages in the local football world recently, but I would hardly call it a matrimonial epidemic. I think Llandudno footballers, past and present, have the most married men in their ranks to any organisa- tion on the Coast. Johnny Williams very sensibly did not long to go "money hooning" but returned like a sensible man to the stern battle ot life, and his old-love sport football. He is fast becoming an ideal outside right, and has played since his marriage. Mr. Anderson, of Bangor, has also donned the harness of every day life, and so has Mr. Henry James Williams, the energetic secre- tary of the Llandudno Amateurs. Good luck and long life to one and all of them. Referee."—It is quite right the informa- tion you have received, that it is intended to form a Referees' Association on the North Wales Coast. In face of the many critic- isms, rightly or wrongly, of many of the Knights of the Whistle," it is a wise move on the part of Referees to have some con- ,sola,tion circle when they can air and redress -any grievances which do arise. 3 "Conway Jackdaw."—Ernest Goodey, custodian for the Llandudno Celts, gave a good display in the matches he appeared for that clever little organisation. He has since signed on for the LLandudno Amateurs. I think the Amateurs this season bid fair to do well. At ary rate a good start has been made. JL H. v Anti-Humbug." — This correspondent complains of clubs joining the Leagues and then withdrawing from same. I am afraid it will ever be so with teams which are amateur and who depend upon financial assistance which is so sparsely given in some quarters. At the time of writing I am not informed whether the 'Varsity team have determined to rejoin under the new condition;, but I really hope such will be the case. One cannot very well blame the Bangor Executive in withdrawing their third string from the Second Division because it was a failure, and if the 'Varsity are to be granted the use of the Bangor town ground it would be awkward. Stickier."—I can assure you that the Football Association of the North Wales Coast is doing all it can to suppress un- seemly scenes upon football grounds, and in this they ought to be backed up by every lover oi true sport I am sorry that the Pwllheli Club, whether rightly or wrongly, should gain such a name for Scenes." There must be something ;n the matter which needs eradicating. The Executive must be irremovably firm in stamping out all appearances of unsports man ship, and if Pwllheli spectators will rot learn that lesson the Association have no other- alternative than to deal drastically with the offenders. There is no one who does mere for the puri- fication of the game than Mr. J. W. Post, the Association's trea;urer, and it was Fmall wonder that he showed signs of disgust with certain things brought before the Associa- tion. Will Mr. Young do his utmost as an old sport to put Pwllheli beyond reproach like Caesar's v'li<.>? Gull Admirer."—Everyone will rejoice with you at the return of Hallwood as cus- todian for the Colwyn Kay first team, and will agree that it is a good move on the part of the management. Although Salisbury Roberts deserves every praise for his excel- lent work, Hallwood has a broader exper- ience of League football. I wish him everv luck.

waiter, a few of the more voluble and demon- strative finding their way on to the stand and letting everyone know that they were there. That never-say-die George yr Aur was one of them, but he was philosphocial ramher than noisy. There is small doubt that the 'Chers were greatly encouraged in their display by the leather-lunged sportsmen who came from the Queen of the West." The volubility of some of these gents rather amused and irritated alternately the equa- bility of the minds of "En Avant," Re- corder," and Nemo." THE TEAMS. The following were the tefAir,.s:-Bangor: Ted Owen; Hwfa Williams and D. J. Thomas; Arthur Owen, Stanley and D. T. Davies H. Rowlands, R. Jones (Top Shop), W. Brown, Hughie Davies and D. Evans Llandudno Goodey; Ben Morris and J. 11. Jones; Jack Brown, Tom Johnson and Harold Pearson; Johnny E. Williams, Dan Davies, Cleeve, Bob Davies and Jim Wil- iiams. The referee was Mr. Welch, of Crewe. < THE HOMERS SPLENDID GOAL. The game for some time was a vigorous one. Each side defended well, and there was capital tackling to be seen, evidencing grim determination on both sides. There were no pretty flashes of the ground passing which sometimes 3ve to De seen from both sides. And a great fault with both sides was that they ballooned the b^ll to such an ex- tent that it became irritating. Still all the same the game was interesting to watch until at such times that Hwfa Williams, who could seldom kick straight and let fly the sphere miles out of the circumscribed area. This player to my mind is becoming an egregious sinner in this respect, and I should have thought that his no" ripe experience in the game would have mellowed these crude methods. Llandudno were having the best of matters generally by being smarter on the ball, and giving Ted Owen now and again anxious times. Several attempts to score were fiustrated by him, and Goody at the other end was less troubled From an incursion into the Amateurs territory Arthur Ower. from the right close in sent a pass to the centre, and Hughie Davies got his cranium to the ball and headed the ball quite out of Goody's reach. The success was deservedly cheered, for it was a real treat to the Bangor spectators. OUR LITTLE JIM HURT." A regrettable incident occurred when A. Owen and Jim Williams collided whilst try- ing to head the ball simultaneously. Jim got the worst and was laid out." The game was stopped for the nonce, and J iroes was to the regret of even one, and A. Owen in particular, led off the field, where he remained until the second part of the game. With ten men Llandudno played gamely, and from a pass from the right Bob Davies secured and scored a very pretty goal. This was the index of Bob's return to form, and he was warmly congratulated upon his first useful goal of this season. HOW WAS IT MISSED? When Goody fumbled, or to be more correctly, missed the ball, he over-ran it, and Hi ghie Davies, panther like, hooked on the ball and with a gaping goal in front H.D. to the dismay of Bangorians and the delight of Llandudno struck the post, and the ball re- bounded into play. Such a let-off I have not seen for years. And so the game went on. Johnny Wiltiams-tried a long pompom which brought Ted Owen to his knees. Bangor were well watched, and the defence on both sides (save what I said about Hwfa) was sound. Half time arrived with Bangor, i Llandudno, 1. A ROUSING GAME. Cheers from all sides greeted the reappear- ance of Jimmy Williams, who wore a cap. It may be said to his credit that though badly hurt Jimmy wanted to come on the field shortly before the interval, but he was wisely dissuaded from so doing. The eime became very vigorous ard the Homers made sitrenuous efforts to annex the much coveted two points. The game was still open, but if a draw occurred Llandudno would gain a point and that on Bangor ground. At the same time Llandudno took a point away last season. For a time Llandudno had hard lines-cruel one;. The post was struck and there was a terrific struggle close to Ted Owen. Now it was Bangor's card of momentary triumph in gaining the ball. Now it was that of the 'Chers. The Homers could not get the ball away, nor could the Cormorants net it. The scene was thrilling with excitement, and kept up until the ball was sent down the field to the relief of Bangor. « A MARE'S NEST." From the stand it appeared that a similar scene was being enacted before Goody. The scene was changed. Goody fisted out a beauty, and in a mehe a loud roar went up, which I thought betokened a goal. The hilarity reached the stand, and loud oheers swelled those around the goal and field. But what dismay succeeded it, when it was found the ball had not been in the net, and there was only a goal kick for Bangor. The physiological caprices of the faces of some stand supporters of Bangor were entertaining and instructive. The game was still open, and Llandudno bucked up. » A SENSATIONAL FINISH I The give and take mertihods which ruled for a while had made people calculate the result as a draw. and Llandudno admirers consoled themselves that it was something to repeat the previous season's performance. Hecorder" and i friend discussed the merits and attractions of the Lyceum play The Whip," and were lackadaisical for a wl-le. Time" as flying quick. Shades of night were drawing fast, and the early even- ing chill of a November evening was being felt. Some people wended towards the exit, when alas, a halt was made. The ball came to Johnny Williams. D. T. Davies and D. J. Thomas raced for him. By rare artistry Johnny sent the ball on the ground to the dashing Jack Brown who divined Johnny's j intention, and with a clear course Brown cantered up the field from opposite the stand, and as he was chased by several Bangorians Jack let fly with terrific force with an oblique high teaser which grazed the tips of Ted Owens' up-lifted hands as it flashed into the net. The scene that followed was a memorable one. The Llan- dudno players were all joy in its essence. Mr. J. T. Robe-ts' face beamed serenely at the success Of his club. Mr. Watson was amazed. Thi stnped players ran from all parts of tike field to grasp Jack Brown, and he must have felt rewarded for his feat. And a few moments afterwards time was up. Bangor's first League check had been ad- ministered on their own ground. Llan- dudno's reputation was glorified, and never did a tea at the Wicklow go down with such a joyful aid to good digestion as on this day. I Truly, 'twas a famous victory. Llandudno, 2; Bangor, 1.

The second half was almost a farce. All the pleayers appeared to be in each other's way, and thus the game went on for about 20 minutes, but Pwllheli was having by far the best of the argument; but somehow the half backs of the Bay easily held them back. Hen Evans was now seen in his best form, and his wings were playing remark- ably well, especially the right. From a thpow in White rounded Diick Rowlands, he centred, and W. Hughes and Ben Evans went through together. The latter defeated h Hallwood. Pwllheli after this success was all over their opponents, but the defence was able to keep the ball out, and time after time the visitors all but drew level. A free kick to Pwllheli saw Will Griffiths send in a terrific shot, which Hallwood managed to tip over, but the flag kick was cleared. The Bay now tried another method, namely, kick-and-rush style, but this was not suc- cessful. From now to the end there was no interest in the game, both sets of backs kicking the ball out of play. Before the end Phillips added another point, which I thought was offside. There was no further score, and the result of a poor game was as follows: Colwyn Bav, 3; Pwllheli, 1. COMMENTS. The game was most disappointing, for after starting brilliantly the Bay in the second half fell to pieces, and it is almost impossible to account for it. For with a lead of two goals and the benefit of the slope they shaped most miserably. In fact, some of the spectators had actually started back- ing the visitors up. They must at once see that this kind of thing will not happen on Saturday, when the Bangor team are the visitors. The team as a whole is as good as it can be made, with the exception of Roberts at back, who is at times not safe. Another small item is this. I would like to see the two outside wing men of the Bay centre the ball oftener. Both are inclined to be selfish. Pwllheli has a good custodian in Y\ illiams, whilst Rowley Hughes was steadier than Davies, the latter player be- ing erratic. They were well served with the halves, Will Griffiths being the pick, in my opinion. In the front rank, Ben Evans and David Hughes were the pick. Both the outside men were weak, but I must say tjhat both played wdsth more dash in the second half. Let the forwards put more devilment in their play, for the defence have plenty.

Walter Jones—what he did with one of your comrades when on the ground. So did!; simply because of your pal getting the best of him for the moment. Gwvlltio fel hogyn bach." Keep your temper, W. J., and your foot to the ball, and the ball only, please. Mr. E. Lloyd Williams had his hack to the above little incident, hence the silent whistle. Now that our favourites have tasted haU the sweets of victory on foreign soil, it should stimulate them to the full. Where is the brace of points away awaiting the Berries and how are they to secure them ? W hen will the half-back line learn to feed the i'o'castle as well as tackling? The latter is good, but woe betide the other. When will the forwards realise where those Sticks and Strings are placed? Have they started? Does the three goals at Festiniog augur for good? Keep your form of Saturday last; keep your respective positions on the field; don t wander, but wonder. Remember there's a man for man. Don't blame your pal for his mistake mind your own. You may be guilty of the next blunder. Don't play to the gallery—it's Gall-i-rai. Pay a deaf ear to the crowd, or your boots and caps won't fit. Play the game. Part with the ball oftener, with swiit, unerring aim. I he loth to show us that line the ropes how you can try to dodge and play skittles, with an opponent; remember you look small when you fail and he has the best Ot the argument. Mark your men part with the ball to a purpose. A judicious pass, short or long, it better than a 50-yard kick to the opposing territory. There is very likely a full back there that will return it to you with his compliments. Look where your partner is (and when challenged by an opponent), pass it on to him. He is in his place, or ought to be, and possibly with zero shivers for a move along. If you find an opening, shoot by all means, and see that the sting you put be- hind the leather has somewhat warmed your toes. Some of you are already doing it, but' only few. Will the other players kindly note and find out who they are! and ar- range with your own own self to do ditto, &c., &c. The cup-tie is looming; don't forget how the Canaries play. You may do worse than adopt their play in so far as keeping your places is concerned. The committee will give you a kindly tip before you emerge on the field that big day, and I trust you will accept it in the sportsmanlike spirit that it is given3 don't feel too inflated for a word of advice. The ball only should feel infla:ted. If the weather clerk will be in his good mood, what a crowd How the coppers will click, and the exchequerers exchanging smiles at the local Derby! This will be the biggest local draw for many a long day. Carnarvon and other papers please copy. Next case—next time. Au revoir.
