AN APPRECIATION FROM AN :1 UNEXPECTtB SOURCE. jl u The Cardiff footba.ll critic, who bas lately been baiiled over the coals" by Jack Bancroft for his criticisms of the All Whites, is magnanimous enough to admit fco&iy that the better team lost. Here is his eulogy of Dai Williams:— David Williams quite overshadowed Bobby Williams at full-back. In this finely- built young Swansea custodian Walee, if I ivm not mistaken, will have a, grand fellow to represent her at full-bacli next geafton for after another year's experience I can- not conceive that the Principality will hale a better man available. On Saturday, David Williams was magnificent in all he did; he was the only man out of the thirty who fielded the bill perfectly all through the game. H is kicks to touch hail splendid length And direction, and he was safe and oound all through the piece." NEWPORT'S PROTEST. I Unhappy FaotbaSl Features at Leicester I There were unhappy incidents during tliO 1 Leicester-Aewpen match on Satur- day. The referee- Mr. E. Browning, of Gloucester—had occasion to give three free kicks to Leicefctcr for in- fringements in tlijj serum. On the third occasion—Newport then being in the Leicoit'or "25 yards"—the Newport for- wards with one accord began clapp;ng thair hands in ironical cheering of the decision of the referee. The clapping was begun and continued in cool blood and wiw, in fact, done with some de- liberation. That was most regrettable, whether the referee was right or wrong in his decision, and the scene was as painful as it was unusual.. But worse followed, for in the next scrum the referee suddenly stopped play after he had been closely watching the scrummage. He at once ordered A. C. Bell, one of the Newport forwards, off the field. Bell for several minutes re- solutely refused to go, and P. W. Lawrie, the captain of the Leicester side, apparently appealed to the referee to overlook the offence; but the official was determined, and at last Bell had to go. "Foul pi ay" was the reason assigned by Mr. Browning. ONLY ONE SWANSEA MAN. I The Welsh Hockey team to oppoca Scotland at Aberdeen on Saturday next will comprise W. Burke (East, Cardiff); i H. C.
