A GO-AS-YOU-PLEA3E GAME. ■ I (By" Rccorder.") Bangor Reserve 3 Colwyn Bay 1 Ono of the ]Kx>re.st gates of thè season turned up to witne-33 this game at Ba/igtir on Saturday, it being played in miserable weather.- Both teams were practically at full ,tr.?nyth, turning out as follows:- Colwyn Bay: IIaHwood; II. Jones and McCann; Ned G I- ffitli. G. Williams, and R. Rowlands; Moas Jones, II. Pritchard, Wellings, Stanley Hughes, and J. LI. Owen. Bangor: Ted Owen; Brock and D. J. Thomas; T. A. Griffith, II- J. Davies, and W. Jonect; R. T. Evans, Ivor Thomas, II. Owen, W. E. Jonee, and W. II. Jonw. Referee: Mr T. Slater- The game etartod quarter an hour after th<? ad- vertised time, and the visitors nyZie the first to pretw, Stanley Hughes potting neatly for goal. Then W. II. Jones went sailing down the left wing, winding up with a shot which struck the post. Stanley Hughes initiated an attack on the Bangor goal, and forced a corner,' from which Gwrge Williams dropped in pn elevated shot, which was apparently going high ever the bar, but it dropped right into goal, Ted Owon being •utart to save. The visitors again troubled the home defence, arid all but scored, and directly afterwards they worked the 00:1 right up to the Bangor goal, Wellings sent high over. II. Ow&n 1100 a try at the other end from long range, land- ing the ball jW't an inch or two wide, and inci- dentally compelling II all wood to slither along the mud. Pretty combined work was displayed by Colwyn Bay, and time after time they workca ihe bttii up to the Bangor goal, only to finish up woefully wide of the billet. For the first time in the match Moss Jones got going, fini-thixig up with a well judged paw to Welling.4, who sent in very feebly, Rowlands driving in a much better whot afr-erward/s- A solo run by J. D. Owen re- sulted in a corner, from which Stanley Hughes an but scored with an overhead kick. Goa's GALLERY PLAY. Tho Bangor forward's were very ffisavpofntinir: apparently treating the game as a "soft thing, and instead of making for the visiting goal they tried to aiii uAe the crowd. At lenarth Ivor Tho- mas relievexl t!, monotony of foolish back-passing by Aiming for goal, and he scored, and he •hould hare added a second a minute Later, but instead he sent high over tft- bar. A few min- uter, from the interval Pritc-hard ought to have e*nifUi«ed for Colwyn Bay. Half-time Bangor 1. Colwyn Bay 0. Early in the second half D. J. Thomas cleared well from J. LI. Owen, and at the oilier end n- T. Evans brought Hailwoc^l to his kne-es. Bangor played a Inan short, W. Jones failing to jetorn after the interval. A decent shot was tent in tibwaxfe Ted Owen by Rowlai-i-6, who, however,, found the custodian at home. Ned Griffiths was sicken to by tho referee for fouling W. E. Jones. Coiivyn Bay quite deserved a goal, three or four grand opportunities being, literally hurled away- -Moss Jonos drove across, and Ted Owen, in try- ing to kick out, clean missed the bail, but for- tunately for Bangor the shot was an inch or two wide. Hughie Owen worked the ball on his own down the field, and in trying to check him one of the defenders handled in tho penalty area. The kick was entrusted to T. A. Griffith, who shot at the custodian, who naturally had not the slightest, difficulty in clearing. Bangor's second goal was notched by Ivor Thomas, though part of the credit belongs to II. Owcn. It wa3 Wellings who opened Colwyn Bay's account, receiving a pas. from Moss Jones a yard or two away from the Bangor goal. Directly afterwards McCallll tried to head, but the ball was slightly too elevated for him, and II ughie Owen rushed past him. Before he managed to shoot for goal, however, McC'ann had returned and blocked his passage. Here- abouts Bangor pressed, and Ivor Thomas forced a fruitless corner, u/id also unexpectedly scored the third goal in the course of a rush- Straightway -ii, '3t -ay a crushing shot from II. Owen was luckily charged down by McCann. Owen, however, had .arother chance, but Hail wood brought off a mag- nificent save. In the concluding stages, Bangor pre-s^-ad without, however, adding to their Bcor", the final result being: Bangor 3, Colwyn Bay 1.

THE "BEAUS" TROUNCE CONWAY. (By "Spectator"). Bee^jiaris 7 Conway 2 On Saturday the Conway "Blues" journeyed to Beaumajis to try conclusions with the "Reds" in a Coast League fixture. The following players lined up in charge of Mx Jbl. Lioytt- William'S, Bangor:— Beaumaris: F. Richards; W. G. Williams and Sam Davies; Taylor, Levi Jones, and Don Row- lands Dai Davies, Matthews, W. Morgan Jones, Smcdley, and Harry Evans. Conway Llew Parry Wm. Hughes and Now Elhs; T. Jo-hnson, Bob Owen, and Arthur Owen; Tom Craven, R. T. Williams, T. Atherton, Bre ■C £ 0. and Sam Parry. Under a threatening" sky and with a stiff fcroeZD blowing over the Castle Grounds, the gUme was started about twenty minutes after tine advertised time owing to the lato arrival of the "Blues. The ''Beous'' won tlie toss, and elect- ed to play against the wind. Dai Davies and Matthews were early on the warpath, securing t'ric leather off Atherton. Smedloy shot in, but Liew fisted clear. Cray-en secured t-he leather, and linifclied a good .sprint by shooting wide of the mark. Taylor received from the goal kick; and put Matthews in possession when El-lis, in order to clear his lines, was obligvnl to tend vo t-ouch. Harry Evaiis very eoon darted along the wing, and brilliant passing between him and Sruedky placed them close to Lkw's charge, when Hany let fly, and the leather dropped fore the goal. Matthews gave the linishmg < touoh, and a goal was notched. A raid was now made by the "'Blu^s! front, line when.Ta^]or sJi.pi>ed,_ai:id th- let in Atlier- ton. Don nipped L; just in time, and wit-ji iho-4 intention of clearing' he tent to the corner flag, Pa.,rry tcoOk tihc flag kick, and dropped it before the upright, but a Conwayite sent over t h, tor when in a good position. Dai and Matthews once agaiin showtcl tlieir prowess, and Now Elli,; was again obliged to send to touch. From the tlir-ow iii Llew was tested with a warm handful, which he succe.f-jlfy disposed of. W. G. Williams retlirnc-d the leather towards the Conway citadel, and Bob Owen headed it back. ■Dai secured, and Matthews just scitt past tibe I>Oftt. An attack by the "Blues" was cleared by Sam Daviea granting a corner, from which Johnson gihot wicle. "W. G." cisand a series of dangerous pots at goal in a masterly fashion- Harry Evaqa after a good run sent across, to M&ttihews^ who passiid o:j. to Dai, but the leather v.as cleared. Don, however, returned the' sphere, and Levi sent to mid-air over the goal. Hughes relieved another pressure by the "Reds," •and Johnson eant Jo Breesc who, finished by shooting past -the post. Conway kept up the pressure, but Taylor intervened, ajid securing gavs the ball to who; "going'"along* at ex- speed e^ntred to-ftprry EvatM, who bange..1 the sphere into the- rigging- From the kick-oii' tihe "Blues" were ctiecked by Don, but an in- fringement occurred, and Craven obtained pos- session from the free kick, and scored. The "Beaus" sprinted forward, and a penalty en- sued. This was taken by Levi, but Llew clear- ed. Owing* to a "Red," being inside t-he dreadsd area the shot was re-taken, and "W. G." tais time found! the net. Half-time: Beaumaris 3, Conway 1. A drizzling rain fell when the second moiety opened. Matthews soon tested LJew, and Mor- gan Jones found the billet off the rc-baund. Craven galloped along, but Sam Davies inter- vened, and put Smedley in ]>os.sosiiioi), wnere Xl€w safely 'clearcd. Another "Bcau" rusiied in, feiit" Offside; prevented further progress. Hun- ning along with the sphere at his toes Breese evaded Williams, and centred to Atherton, wito found the net for the second time for the "Blues." Artihur Owen worked vigorously, and proved a thorn in the side of Dai and Matthews. From t-fil to the end the "Reds" completely hemmed the "Blues" in their own quarter, bar- rin.g an occasional spurt by Breese and Craven, who showed a rare turn of speed. Bob CiNN-pil: sent the ball to touch in order to clear an at- tack Smedley secured, and punted past the poot. Matthews soon had tihe leather in his possession, and centred to Morgan, who scored. n. Evans next sent the sphere over the, goal line. Matthews again was on Lire go. and from i:!ie feeble clearance Morgan Jones added to the goals. Conway made occasional dangerous rush- es. but could itot The "Beau- through Morg*an Jones and Levi Jones added three more goals, and the game ended: Beaumaris 7, Conway 2.

WELSH AMATEUR CUP. (Fourth Round). THE "CANARIES" VICTORIOUS. PLAYERS MOBBED. (By "Linesman.") Carnarvon 1 Llandudno 0 Fresh from their struggle with Beaumaris on the previous Wednesday in the semi-final of the Welsh Coast Amateur Cup, Carnarvon journey- ed to Llandudno on Saturday in the fourth round of the Welsh Amateur Cup, and at the first time of asking, lait an end to the Amat-eu", career in the competition- Throughout the sea- son, the Amateurs had extremely bad luck in the draws for the various cups, only once being' drawn to play at home, a.nd the Welsh Amateur Cup was their last hope. Saturday's match was witnessed by a large crowd. The teams were as follow.,i:- Llandudno Amateurs: C. Stallard; J. H.Jones and Ilarokl Pearson (capt.); Will. Edwards, Geo- Davids, and W. (Settle) Owen; W. D. iI- Brookes-Evans, Jack Brown, J. E. Wil- liams, and Jimmy Williams. Carnarvon: G. II. Jones; Evan Hughes, a«d Albert Griffiths; J. Griffiths, M. Herbert, and J. Williams; H. H. Roberts (capt.), H. Roberts, Walter Jones, Torn Roberts, and Johnny Jones

"^WHEEZY C OUOHS. Chronic Asthma cured by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mr Alfred Ilarroukl, of 64, London Avenue, N.E., Portsmouth, writes"Alx>ut twelve rears ago I contacted Baker's Asthma,' and I got eo bad that I had to give up my work. I went to several doctors, and tried every advertised re- medy, but d-erl ved no permanent gocd. Then I tried Verio's Lightniug Cough Cure, and fare it a fair trial, and soon found that tto coughinjf was nothing like as bad, and now I am all well as ever. I always keep a bottle in the house, w I find that one dose only will cure any of the members of my family." Veflp's Lightning Cough Cum can be IboHgbi for 9jrd, 18 1, aDd 2B 9d ererywheor*. Referee, Mr R. D. Richards, Bangor. Carnarvon won the toss, and decided to kick with the wind- Llandudno started, but were checked in the opening movement, and the visi- tors got going a.t once, but were spoilt by off side. In the opening stages, Carnarvon were by far the superior team, and the homesters were penned in their own quarters. The visit- ing forward line moved with a pretty combina- tion, Wa.Jt-:l' Jonee being exceedingly tricky- Time and again t.he Carnarvon centre beat Gec-rgie Davies. The visitor-s forced reveral corncrs, but although they were placed, they wera not made use'of. Stallard effet a fine save f"om R. Roberts, the Carnaryon insicVs right. On the left Ni" itg, Johnny Jones got po&- cc-~wion, and raced along, beating the Llandudno defence. His centre higli across the field, Walter Jones tipped it on to R. H. Roberts- and the Carnarvon skipper taking his shot, on the run, drove the leather into the top comer of t.ho g'M!, out of Stallard's reach. Restarting, the game was still in favour of Carnarvon, the homesters akting, strictly on the defensive. At length the home forward line got going, but Davy Williams was offside. Stallard saved a fine shot from Walter Jones, and a little later a well-judged centre from R. H. Ro- berts was cleared- Led by Johnny Williams, the home forwards made, a determined raid upon the Carnarvon goal, and the home inside teft put in a fine shot, but G. H. Jones tipped it up, and the ball striking the cross-bar rebounded into play. Again Llandudno pressed, and forced a corner, which Jimmv Williams placed beauti- fully, and Johnny Williams headed on to the top of the net. Half-time: Carnarvon 1, Llandudno 0. Openjng the second half, the game again promired to be a good one, Carnarvon starting weH, unti' at length J. It. Tojaes and Walter Jones collided, both beéna somewhat m- jured- The Carnarvon "pivot" would not leave the field, but pluc-kdy played on with his head bandaged. After this, however, the Carnarvon forwa.rd line seemed to fall to pieces. No more of those pretfv combined movements were wit- ner,"od, acd the hacks simply adopted the de- fensive game. The second half fritted away without the homesters being able to equalise. Comer after corner they forced, but all in vain. G. H. Jones played a wonderful gariie between the posts, and was rot beaten- J. H. Jones was out amongst the ho forwards, but could not find the net. The whist-le blew, leaving Carnar- von the victors by the only goal of the match. A regratable incident occurred after the close of the match. Feeling, had been running high amongst the spectators as the game progressed, and as the Carnarvon players were leaving the field for the Glrewi-tig rtom, they were surround- ed by ix crowd. Albert Griffiths, tihe Carnarvon left full-back, was struck in the face and kick- ed, and some of the other players were similarly treated. The Llandudno players, of cou.r.e, had nothing to do with the incident, and I believe were unaware of the occurrence. Unsportsman- like conduct of this nature on the part of spec- ia&SFg is mucin to be deprecated.

FRIENDLY MATCHES. THE RYDALIANS DRAW VWTK FRIARS. (Ey "Scriptor.") *t.v«la] Mount School 2 Friars School 2 For the fourth time this season those rivals met on Saturday at Colwyn Bay. In the previous pn- CGunt-ersFriars won each time at Bangor, whilst at Colwyn Bay Rydal proved victorious. Con- sequently the last contest promised to be a fast and exciting one. In rather dull weather the teams lined out as follows: — Rydal: Smith; Lancaster (capt.) and Wilson; Wood, IBarnsIey and Baker; Weetbrooke. Co wen, LiiTe, Egiington, and Sclby. Friars: W. P. Jones; A. D. Jones and T. LI. Jones; II. L. Williams (cant.), Cooi!, and 11. M. Owen; (Joies, Ll. Jones, Fttrber, T. J. Griffiths, and W. "Thomas. Rydal failed to narn-o the coin, and Friar, r- solved to take advantage of the wind. RydaJ were early agf?rea?he, but were beaten back by Hw Jones's. Ba.rn.sjev initiated a pretty advanco by the home forwards, and Weetbro-oke drovo a centre across the visiting goalmouth, but Jones in goal wes very safe, bringing off several clearances. It was now Friars' turn to press, and Griffiths and Coles had several shots all the heme goal, Smith, however, proving invincible. Both goals v.em rapidly visited in turn, and finally Cowen tipping the sphere to Eglington, the latter opened the scoring. Nothing daunt-edby this reverse* Frian; played up, Cooil and IT. M. Owes putting in some telling work. The Rydal goal experienced a warm attack, when II. L- Williams, receiving a clearance from Smith, from a most difficult po- sition, unexpectedly tv.isfcsd the ball that it dropped right in the Rydal goal, and Furber had no difficulty in equalising for Friare. Towards the end of the first half, the Ryd:11 dcfen.ee'"was' sorely taxed, Griffiths .and Thomaa. the- Friai-s' left wing, ccmplstely de^jvipg.tho.hoyie.defence: by their short passing. However, La,!K'3i6ter afid W iison did their work very well, and refused to all ri- the visiting forwards much scope. The ball was in the Rydal half when the whistle called for half-time. Interval: Rydal 1, Friars 1. The Rydal prospects in the second half looked rather bright, but Friars were reisolved to return home without defeat, and they straight;vay m;tdf& a raid on the home goal, but Baker put in some go<xl work on the Rydal left'. Lille arid Cowen tried to foroa their way through, but Cooil proved an insuperabie obstacle. At this;stage the ball was in the mic"t of a of piayers on the Friars' right, when suddenly H. L. WilliamSjgain- ing possession, put acro-s an ideal centre, and with only the goalkeeper to beat, Furber gave iFriarrl the lead- This infused more vigour into tlie game, and Rydal strenuously attempting to equalise, made several dangerous raids on the visiting goal, but A. D. Jonee and T. Lloyd Jones relieved on every occasion. A free kick awarded to the homesters resulted in the eqxial- ismg of scorces, Li'le scoring the necessary goal. The rest of the g'a in(! wag more or less in favour of the visitors, but Wood and Baker continually kept the Friars' wing forwards in check. No further scoring took place, and so the result of a fast, keen and pleasant game was two goals each, a score which well represented the play. NOTES OF THE GAME. For the visitors, W. P. J ones in goal justified his inclusion, his play on every point being very good. The ljack. A. D. Jones and T. Lloyd Jones, were particularlv safe, kicking ly and strongly. H. L. Williams, Cooil, and II. M. Owen at half-back, maintained their reputation for being one of the best school hatf-baek lines around the district. A marked improvement was shown in the play of the forwards. Griffiths and Thomas on ttio left are very clever in their mani- pulation of the bail, and their short passing quite bewilders their opponent*. Furber displayed come good football at centre, while Jones and Coles on the right did effective work, the latter putting some dangerous centres across the goalmouth. For the homesttrs, the custodian. Smith, showed himself to be well versed in the art of goal- keeping, bringing off several clever saves. Lan- caster and Wilson, at full back, proved strung chocks to the Friars forwards,*and their clear- ances were faultless. Judicious jiassing and clever tackling characterised the play of Wood, Bamsley and Baker, the Rydal halves. Rydal |x>$»».s a remarkably good forward line in Selby, Egling- ton, Lille, Cowen, and Westbrooke. SeJby aaid Westbrouke have a fine turn of sjv^ed, while Lill. at centre has a very deadly shot. Cowen ajid Eg- lington display much cleverness in passing ami dribbling.

CONWAY RESERVES DEFEAT COLWYN BAY CELTS. Conway 5 Colwyn Bay 2 On Saturday, Conway Reserves entertained Colwyn Bay Celts in a friendly fixture. for the benefit of the Conway Borough Band. There was a good "gate" present when Conway, hav- ing won the toss, started with the wind in their favour. Kar^vin the game the homesters were awarded a penalty, wfiich Jimmy Jones converted, thus opening the score. Shortly afterwards, Tommy Morgan rushed through, and scored another: Jirnmv Jones added a third with a fine shot, and Tommy Morgan added two more before tlie- in- terval. Hugh Parry, who was included in the forward line at o'iside right, played a good game, and three goals were scored as the result of his centree. Half-time: Conway 5, Colwyn Bay 0. As the score testifies, the homesters held the upper hand throughout the first half, but in the second moiety, Colwyn B^y enjpyed a fair share of the game, and managed Jo score twice, the final result being .—Conwaj Reserves 5, Colwyn Bay Cells 2.

INTERNATIONAL MATCH. WALES DEFEAT SCOTLAND. Wales 3 I Scotland 2 Scotland were on Monday visitors to Wrexham. where they met the reprccsentativies of Wales, the weather was bitterly cold, and the ground had a slight covering of enow, but the going was fairly good. There was one change in either team. For Wales Grenville E. Morris was unable to turn out, and Dot Jones was drafted from inside right to iusido left, his place being taken by Wynn, of Wrexham. J. Hunter, of Dundee, took the place of Quirun (Celtic). Meredith was loudly cheered after his month's suspension. Davids scored for Wales after 25 minutes' play. Four minutes later Walee had li throw-in, from which Meredith passed judiciously to Lot Jones, who ran right through and ficoned a superb goal. Paul was very dangerous on the Scotch left, and frequently placed thje -Welsh goal in jeopardy. Hunter missed an open goal, but was hampered when shooting. Davies scored the third from a pass by Wynn, Wales thus leading at the interval b.) three goals to nil. Scotland re-started with very attractive foot- ball, but Waiee were first to become dangerous- Wynn missed a good chance from Meredith, and Davies, receiving from Wynn, was only a yard from M'Brido when he shot into the custodian's hands. Scotland attacked with vigour, and Roose saved at fuil length twice from Hunter and -Somers. wej-e now on the -ggreesive, with Wales playing a fine defensive game. Keeping up the pressure, Scotland indulged in superb forward work, and after 25 minutes Waller scored from a centre-kick. Meredith daish'sd away, and dropped the ball on tho cross- bar. Benne-tt then ran down and centred, from lrhieh Paul jUklod the eccond for Scotland. The gate receipts amounted to L360.

NOTES AND ~COMMENT. BANGOR JOTTINGS. There was far too much gallery play in the League match aga nst Colwyn Bay on Saturdav. it it • It might be smusing to fool a half by passing back, but those tactics seldom yield goals. < < Through and through, it was a poor game, with scarcely a "thrill" in. it. Ba.ngor deserved the brace of points they got, for they did most of the pressing, even if th'{.- did not do it well. < Colwyn Bay did not do at all. badly, and why they are not. higher up in the table, if Satur- day's is their usual form, I can't imagine. » » » » A curious feature about the match was the fact that the most indifferent players managed to score the goals. » » What Cohvyn Bay lacked was accuracy before goal. Tn midfield they indulged in the prettiest of combination, but before goit-well, they were very much off. Throughout the second half Bangor were minus the services of IV. JonQz, the half-back, who accidentally strained the muscles of his leg. < ? Tho Bangor defence were not seriously troubled. Both full backs played vigorous foot- ball, Brock's tackling being much better than his kicking. < The halves also acquitted themselves with dis- tinction and success. Tito Bangor left wing in- dulged in far too much gallery play. « True they made the crowd laugh, but a foot- ball match, after all, is not a pantomime. ii « » The jiassing of the extreme wingers was riso a trifle overdone. There were occasions on Saturday when the inside men were better placed than the cutiic-k-, and yet the former cbtied almost all the passes. » » No member of the'line stood out prominently for good The three goals were scored by Ivor Thomas. » it • Hidlwcod, the Convyn Bay goalkeeper, kept out several hot 'uns, and the three shots which beat him were of the impossible tvpe. » Far and away the best player in the Colwyn Bay team was McCann, who is at home in every position. In the half-back "line the fancy" was Georg9 Williams, who tackled admirably, One member of the 'tie fell under the ban of the referee fpr rough play, • ° » Wellings, the pivot, was not a conspicuous ruccess, though he scored ''C.B.'s'' one aricl only goal. Very few passes came Moss Jones's way, and the&nme remark applies to J. L! Owen, who,-?however, put in three or four dashing runs.. Young but resourceful-, Stanley Hughes was about, the biggest success in 'tho visiting front • rank. He had a good idea. of the location of the Bangor goal> and hia. pmses were equally accurate. • "Things are looking up with tho Combination team._ They managed to draw with Wrexham, at Wrexham, on Saturday — a re.jult tVhich occhsicncd much surprise1 alt Bangor. k • JI.

BEAUMARIS BULLETS. Beaumaris dealt kindly with Conwav, on Saturdav. They scored seven goals, but on the day's play it could have been ten, or even more. e '• W. G. Williams was not quite up to usual form, but he and Sam Davies succeeded, in checking rushes. with any show oi danger in them. • • • » Of the halves, Don worked the hardest: Tay- lor made very good clearances; but Levi did not jshow up to advantage, Of tho front line, the players of the afternoon were Mathews and Dai Davies. Morgan Jones' goals were well put, whilst; H. Evans was very lucky'with the second goal which came to his icredit. Smediey also put in telling work. » < < < Of the Conway front line, the two extreme; men were Fleet and Atherton, and the two in-. side men worked well. It The defence at times showed good form, but at other periods they were weak. Arthur Owen, although-he had a tricky wing to watch, played hard and well. < < < Llew had no chance with the majority of the goals scored against him, but lie cleared some teasers. it.. The best, team won the game, no doubt, for the Beaus completely overwhelmed the Blues.

HOLYHEAD CHIPS. (By "Critic.") It is a long time since notes under the above heading have been written, and in the interim, the team Jias been .losing points in a-way matches- « » Llanrwst and Conway have each beaten them, 11 tough by a small margin, but several members of the ten-in wihie<h did duty at the commencement of the season h.n. gone. it Parry, Dick Ellis, Johnny Rowlands, and O. B. Edwards are all non-playing members now. The former iias, of course, left, but the latter three are t;til1 with us, alt-houg^i not playing for us. < < w Each and all have yeoman service, and they deserve the sinoers thanks of all local foot- ballers: for havingro worthily upheld the honour of the town in the past. RÐgauxling tlie "new" team, the eommittee are to be cnng*atuiaietl up<Mi. introducing new blooirh and the team as at present constituted (It -Ti-ocroed wHh) should fcurn out a waJlj good In Morgan ajid Williams the club have a pair of splendid backs, and I Avas very pleased witih the jxilished display by th." former on Saturday, this bein^ his first season- • • Hugh Williams and louis Jones have the ma-kings of really effective halves; the right wing is as of yore, as is tlie left, with William substituted by his brother Hugh. In tho cen- tre, tJhcre is a promising pivot in McLean, who has, :"0 I aim told, performed brilliantly of late. ♦ » • Summing u.p, there is, as I have said, every prOo|HX.t of t.he team tul-iiii-ig, out a fine one, provided there is no chopping and changing. Let them be kept together as much as possible, for by so doing enly can the eleven be able to attain that degree of understanding winch is essential to succese. • V, it ill reference to Saturday's game, I do not intend criticising* the players individually. Stlf- fice it to say that Latham, W. T. Jones, Roland Willie ins, W. f', Owen, and R. C. Jones were the outstanding figures. • • • • Latham's performance in goal was a highly crcditable one, and especially when it is remem- bered that he is not \et twenty. He was un- doubtedly tlie liero of !KS fide. • • • • Next Saturday we shall hope to see the Bay- >tes returning home pointless as a result of their visit in search of League points.

LLANDUDNO AND CONWAY WHISPERS. WThisper it gently. Carnarvon beat Llandud- no, on Saturday, at Llandudno* by the only goal ef the match. • it it G. H. Jones played the game of his life in the Carnarvon goal. Tito visiting backs were not ae safe as they 1 might have been. it » » « Their halves played well, hence the poor dis- play by the home forwards. » i» » » In the forward line, Walter Jones was a treat in the first half, and ho was undoubtedly the best pivot we have seen at Llandudno this sea- son. » « The Carnarvon skipper was great, and gave- j Settle more than he could manage. • • • Johnnie Jones had no chance with Will Ed- wards. II • On the Llandudno side, Stallard did all that could be expected of him between the pwts. m ft J. If. Jones and Pearson were fairly safe, and Will Edward." was tlie pick of the halves. The forwards were evidently "off," Johnnie Williams being the pick of the quintette. » Carnarvon have to visit Llandudno again next Saturday, in a League fixture. Qn Saturday, Conway, with a weakened team, were beaten by Beaumaris to the tune of 7-2. Hard luck, "Blues » » « On the Morfa, the Conway Reserves had bet- ter fortune in defeating Colwyn Bay Çelts 5—2. match was for the benefit of the Borough Band, who we present, and played selections of music.

ABERSOCH GOLF CLUB AND INTOXICANTS. Aid. Abol Williams presided over a meeting of tlie Abersoch (Carnarvonshire) Golf Club, wlitvi a matter which has been the cause of a somewhat heated ooutroverey caruo up for discussion, viz., whether ruloe 2 of the club should be amended so a.; to exclude intoxicants from the list of commo- dities which the club supplies to its members. Mr M'Elland projiosed that the rule be not al- tered in the manner suggested, and supported his contention by alluding to the common praotioe of other dubs in the country. The reading of a letter from Dr. Gwenogfryn Evan.i, in support of the same policy, provided a hilarious diversion. Mr Harry Morgan tA,rote approving of the chang*. The Rey. H. R. Roberts, who proposed the alteration, laid fitrew on the determined opposi- tion of the landowners to the selling of intoxicants at the golf house. The proposed alteration of the rule received the assent of the meeting, only one gentleman dis- senting. — Mr R O. Hughes was elected hon. secretary of I tlie club iu place of Captain C. II.

FLINTSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND BANG OR NORMAL COLLEGE; SUGGESTED COOPERATION. A special meeting uf Flintshire Education Committee; was iield at Mold yesterjey week, Mr T. W. of Flint, presiding. The principat business was to receive the report of the Training College Sub- committee. The Sub-committee was called, to consider the question of approaching the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Training Committee with a view of securing an inter- est in the Bangor Normal College and the hostels connected. therewith. An estimate of c;¡pital Ünd current expenditure showed what was proposed in connection with the collcge extension. scheme. It was pointed out that if Flintshire desired, to obtain a fifth interest in the Normal College so as io secure 40 free places for disposal amongst, students in Flintshire, the total liability ef. the Flintshire L.E.A..would amount to £ ,"157 for the tirst ten years and .(;120 for the subsequent .twenty, years. As, however, it was estimatedthat there would be a bal .ance in hand on the annual working of the college, it seemed highly probable that the Flintshire L.E.A, wouid not he called upon to pav any portion of this annual liability. The Sub-committee recommended unani- mously that the Education Committee should forthwith approach the Training College Committee with a view of join- ing the Committee, and securng an interest in the colkge to the extent of forty places. The Chairman moved thai the recommen- dation be adopted, and the Rev. R. Jones seconded. Mr II. A. Tilby (Rhyl) opposed the sug- gested arrangement, on the ground that it would be bad financially and educationally. It was putting a premium on entrance into one particular college. lie also thought the accommodation was more than they were likely to require. There was no diffi- culty in obtaining accommodation for stu- dents already. If they wanted to start a college, they could do so in that county w ithout any cost to themselves. and it would be much more beneficial to have 1 college in the county than to buy a certain number of places at Bangor. Me moved that the recommendation be referred back. Mr T. J. Reney seconded the amendment. Dr. J. H. Williams pointed out that the cost would be much smaller under the pro- posed arrangement than if they had a col- lege of their own. Mr T. J. Reney We don't want one at all. Dr. Williams said that they verv much needed accommodation for the training of their teachers. They were contributing .£<:50 a year to the Agricultural Departme.it of the Universty College, and if that was re- duced by ^*100 the cost of this training ac. commodation for teachers would only e £ •75 per annum. He btlieved that the Government authorities were going to insist more than they had dune upon trained teachers. It was fast coming to that. Mr Mainer, headmaster of St. Asaph County School, thought it would be unwise to incur any expenditure at present. Manv of the teachers already trained could net find places in schools. They were simply glutting the educational market. The Secretry (Mr 1: LI. Jones) read a letter,'in'which it stated that almost all the trained teachers who left Batigor were able to find places. Mr Mainer remarked that that was not

the case so far as the whole country was concerned., I Jones thought they were not satisfied with the present state uf lhing.- that .Nonconformist .students who wished 10 enter the tt aching profession should often be obliged tÓgd their training in Church t)( FZngiand eolieges. They wished t,) sciif such students to be trained at what they might call a national college. The amendment.was lost, and the reco'i> mendation adopted by a large majority. Odom JO'čES" WHO BOSKS.
