I: ANYBODY'S GAME. I I » DEFEAT WHICH CARRIES NO DIS- CREDIT. T I SWANSEA BEATEN BY CARDIFF MUD. (By" PENDRACON,") I Some people would have us believe that uie thing which we call luck exists! tralv in tho imagination. They toil us that skill always dominates over chance in football, which is tantamount to saying that the better team must neces- garilv win. We who have speci.alised in euch matters are, however, ready enough to admit tliat under certain con- ditions llugbv can become & game of i chance, rather than an exhibition of; skill. There was a case in jroint at| Cardiff on Saturdav. when Swansea lost bv a try, in weather which made foot- ball about the most di-sagreeable pastime imaginable. He would be a bold man I who wo%ld venture tho assertion that the better side won. As a matter of fact Swansea were attacking nearly all the time, only to be beaten. in the end bv \a super-abundance of Taffside mud| and" a deluge oc ra;n. It was a most.! disappointing result. and the more one; ponders over it the more is the convic-1 tion brought home that it would have: been better if the game had been abandoned. 1 am not making excuses, j I am merely stating facts. ) Farcical Football. j The game will go down in the records j as a triumph for Cardiff, but in reality the winners never shaped like a side capable of beating the All Whites on a line day. They won because Birch 1Jad the good fortune to charge down a kick by Dai Williams in the first few minutes. Call it opportunism if you like, but the fact remains that the try was gained more by accident than, design, and would probably never have been scored at ail under proper football conditions. 1 cannot remember ever having men the Cardiff ground in a worse plight. Portions of it were practically under water, and the whole enclosure was 6° treacherous that it was no novelty to see players skidding along at lull tret.ch for yards. The rc- feree had a mud bath through a, collision with Tom Williams, but fortunately for ( him'he manage-> to retain a hold, on his whistle. t I Some Humorous Positions, T here were some humorous situations; created as time went on. So completely disguised with mud were the majority of the players that it was impossible to tell to which. side they belonged. On a couple or occasions men were actually tacklod by their own clubmates! There were stoppages too, while some of the players had portions of Cardiff Arms Park rcmovoo from their eyes. And the ame is to be treat-ed seriously, even though full time could not be piayed, the sccond half being curtailed! For nearly the whole of the time there was a torrential downpour so that the blunders which were made from time to time were easily excused. Bancroft's Understudy. The oiit-;tkndn^ feature was, by com- ijvon consent, the play of Dai Williams, .at full-back for Called upon to doput iso KancrcTt at the eleventh hour Williams played what was easily the game of Ji • iife. Those who [..1. !him help the Whites to beat the South Africans, but who did not witness the I Cardiff match, will, no doubt, leel that no full-back could possibly have eclipsed the yre £ weather performance of the Glyn-Xeath man t I-tlvo months ago Jast .Boxing Day. Against the Africans Williams trxlded Avith a fearlessness which w?s astonishing. At Cardiff be not only did this l<ftÙ idntil condi- tions: he uiso 1,;C-! m&rreHous length, and ncldcd in a way winch woie times wljen the crowd literally ruse to him. His one mistake—if it coidd be called a mistake—was overshadowed, arid wherever football was talked about in Cardiff or. Saturday night it was to Wil- liams that tite lion's sha-re of the praise went. The i-wt of the fcjGks on both sides were troubled by the state of the grottad and the bail. Laming of Players. Kicks were charged down repeatedly, the ban being very difficult to rise aiidi quite as dimcult to handle. Leg injuries were also very frequent, but th)s lammg of players was not due to any ex:;s of I ngour. but to the condiHons. Swan- sea had a big pull at forward and at full- ¡ back. To my mind Harry Moulton was easily the best forward on the field. I liked the way in which McLean shaped at inside-half for Cardiff, but I was not so much impressed by Clem few-is, whose tendency to fly-kick was rather strange in a player of his class. The de- feat of Swansea under the circumstances carried 'with it no discredit. For on .such a miserable afternoon it was "any- body's game. Rubbing It in. They are still nibbing it in to Ban- croft up Cardiff way: Here is an ex- tract from the official programme* cir- culated at Cardiff Arms Park on Satur- day:- "So well did the Welsh te:1.m play last Saturday that there seems little prospect of any other Oaixiiff man be' Ûdc. Clem Lewis getting into tho national side this year. Still, Bobby Williams is most certainly a better full-back than Bancroft, anil ought to receive preference over the Swansea veteran. W. A. Stewjirt would not! have had such all easy journey to the line last. Saturday if Hobby had been there. Ho would probably have found himself enchained in an octopus-like grasp. I wonder whether the writer of the above saw any merit in the Wg'y in which Dai Williams overshadowed "Bobby" of that i:k? The Swansea Trip to Paris. After next Saturday's match with Neath, at St. Helen's, the All Whites will proceed to London, en route for Parjs. The team, it is understood, will not be at full strength. Stade Francais are to be played at the Park do Princes on Shrove Tuesday, and the return jottrney is to bo undertaken on the Thursday. Swansea, by the way, will not be playing at home for a month, after the match with ineath-not a very palatable arrangement., bearing in mind the fact-that the All Whites have not operated at St. Helen's since Jan. 3111t, when Leicester were here.

What the Army offers. I To all single men of good character between 18 and 25 years of age the Army offers good wages, good food, and unique oppor- tunities for Sports and Games-the surest means of keeping a man fit for service in the field. Send the form below for a free copy of a 32-page illustrated book on The Army and What it Offers." 0 HAVE you ever seriously thought about B the advantages of the Army ? Probably A. J)L not, and most likely for the simplt reason that you have never had placed before you the true facts of a soldier's life and the conditions of his service. When you are considering your future you would do well to consider the Army and all the chances. it offers you. Soldiers' Wages. What are you earning now, and what are your prospects in civil life ? Can you look forward with certainty to getting more than 256. a week if in a town, or 20s. if in the country ? And even with these wages what have you left for yourself at the end of the week; after paying for your lodging, for train or tram fares to your vqotk, for yonr food, for your Insurance, and for the clothes and boots you wear while at work or at leisure ? And now consider the soldier. He is charged 3d. or 4d. a day-for his groceries and vegetables, to meet which he is given a Messing Allowance" of 3d. a day, and he has to pay I id. a week for his Insurance, but practically all the rest of his necessities are provided for him free—lodgings, rations, and clothing. In the Infantry the average balance of pay at the disposal of a private soldier immediately [ after enlistment is 6s. Sid. per week; after serving for 2 years, if in the First Class for Proficiency, a private has at his disposal 10s. 2^d.t a Corporal 14s. 10 £ d., and a Sergeant 17s. 6d. Weekly Pay of Privates in the Regular Army, in addition to Lodging, Rations and Clothing. On Enlistment. After 2 Years. Cavalry 9/11 a week 11/8 to 13/5 I Artillery II/Ill" 13/8! Infantry 8/9 10/6 „ 12/3 [N.B.—The sums include Messing Allowance of 3d. a day issued to all soldiers of IS and over, and proficiency pay of men after 2 years' service.] « Promotion. You have seen that a private is well off in the Army, but any steady, well-conducted soldier with ambition may well look forward to promotion and consequent increase of pay and improvement of position. The chance of being offered a Commission as Officer has now been made greater, and may certainly be considered as a possi- bility by any ambitious young man who joins the Army. Soldiers' Holidays. In civil life a man may be allowed a holiday of a week or a fort- night every year, and perhaps then only by losing his wages. A soldier can usually depend on being given a holiday of at least a month each year, and in addition can often get leave of absence In a few days at other times. ir* fi Sports, Games, Etc. In the Army a man has unique opportunities for all kinds of sports and games, such as he can get in no other profession to any- thing like the same extent. Every encouragement is given to the soldier to play cricket, football, and hockey, grounds being provided for these sports in all garrisons. Shooting and swordsmanship form part of the soldier's actual work, and athletic sports with goo4 jpriMS are often held. *•: Comfortable Quarters. In all regimental barracks there is a recreation-room with billiard and bagatelle tables, newspapers, and indoor games; there is a well- stocked library, a canteen fitted with coffee bars, and in tne evening there is often a concert or other entertainment in barracks, given by local or outside talent. In the Army, too. the meals are better and more varied than those of the ordinary civilian the food provided is of excellent quality, it is well cooked, and there is always enough, Special Reserve. The man who would like to test a soldier's life without committing himself finally, or who wishes to serve his country and still to remain in civil employment, should join the Special Reserve.

FOURTEEN COALS. SWANS HEAVY SCORING IN TWO MATCHES. THEIR EASY VICTORY OYER UAERPHcLLY-  1 (BY "CYCHET.") I Tlie last two Saturday's have been I Swansea. Town in a good scoring mood. Fourteen clear goals is a capital record for two g,.Pics a record which must be i gratifying to al! those who follow the doings of the club-closely. It has been said, and perhaps rigbtJy, too, that Swansea. were a side which rested on a lead of one or two goals. Certainly I largo scores have been conspicuous hy their absence, but now matters arc apparently changmg, for after the last two results, the supporters are very hopeful for large ores in Tna?y more game: The English* clubs must be looking with eyes of fear on the Welsh team. Gradually Whitfcaker's men are crawling to the top, and unless sonic- thing unforeseen happens, one feeLs en- titled to think that at the end. of April Swansea will have done the Engish sides out for second place in the League. That is, I k?ow, tJ? ambition (if :;n(I the chances at the pret time are rosy, but there will have' to be no slackening. One Sided Came. The game last Saturday against Caer- philly was snmewlra.t marred by tho weather. The ground was naturally on the .soft side. and the heavy rains which fell during the hrst. half, and which Swansea had to face, were any- thing hut pleasant, and good play was almost out of tho question. Another factor which did not improve matters wais Caerphilly at the commencement of the season gave promk-o of performing great thin, as time ad vanced. But somehow or other they have had a rough time, and we really expected them to put up a better show on Saturday. They were weak— passibly the conditions being responsible to a certain extent—and very seldom did they put shots in at goal. Their forward line was ragged, and was not assisted very much by their half-back line, of which le-an was the pick. Roes on the left wing was very poor, and especially in the first half he missed passes winch should h,I.VO proved extremely valuable to his &ide. On the other wing Davies was a. dangerous man. He had speed, and his centres at times were well judged, but nothing c-ame of them. The whole team, however, weer far inferior to Swansea, and fully deserved their heavy defeat. Five Coals on Change Over. On the ether hand Swansea, in spite cf the heaviness of the ground, pliyed I good football. In the first half they: did the most of the pressing, and their i cleverness in the first line proved to be too much for Mitchell and company, opposition defence. The half-backs also came into the .picture greatly, and the passing to the wings ,#va..s extremely j well judged. In the second half five goals were scored. Caerphilly seemed to collapse terribly, and their defence could collapio terribly, d efence cou l d not hold up over the extraordinary amount of pressure. Shots galore were aimed at Bateman, and it was only hard luck that prevented the score reaching double figures. From Swansea's point of view, the game was a success, inas- much a,s it did the goal average a great amount of good, but from the spectacu- lar view, wo would certainly have liked a stronger opposition". How tfie Team Shaped. A man who came in for a certain amount of attention was Llewellyn Morris, the amateur international back who made his debut for Swansea on i Saturday. Morris must have impressed all. Beaten once or twice, he made up as time went on, and proved a most valuable partner for Allman. Heady and cool, Morris brought off clearances upon clearances, which had to be praised, and his correct passes to his halves and forwards wero simply ideal. Ho is a player, apparently, who does not believe in sending to touch, for seldom, :A: ever, did ho ki-ek out of the field of play. Allman was also on hi,4 form, and piayed a good game..Jack Williams at right-half was one of the 011 the fieid. His defenoe and at- tack was splendid, and ho was a real hard w orker. Cubbsrley, t-oo, was c)d, while Ba.ssett wa. a-No a hard I li a T Ci I worker. Anderson was successful at centre forward. It was he who -scored JCllr goals, and an. offside goal, and his ¡.p-æd and d:Jsh proved far too hot for hí: opponents. He played, a good open and dealt most effectively w;th t hose clever passes from Coleman. Tho i\?:ide,-rigkt was 'another star. Con- stantly ho was responsible for pa&ses ant,1 to itches which were mad-A so much use. of. Mes&er too, was in form, and placed across tome good centres, while his gpal was a beauty. Greer and Bail on the loft wing at times were re- sponsible for some good- openings, but they -hardly did justice- to themselves.
