----__--_.--FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
FOOTBALL GOSSIP. BY B. BENNISON. (Illustrated by Jack Dodworth). To all my readers I hope that the New Year kill be one round of joy and prosperity that ma.ny good things will come to their own pajrUcular club, and that there will be pk-ace IUld good-will for all time. Lot there be less strife in the whole foot bail world; let factions cease to be; may thore be no more bickering, and, best of all. let there be oocmplot/c har- tnony and unity. This is a period when good resolutions are made; let it be more steadfastly resolved by the powers that be to bring all bho amateurs and professionals to- Tether; in the near future may all foot- Uallors fighst uncLer one flag for the game s good-just for sport, and to minimise the evil effotAs of the commercialism that has got a grip of the game we all love so well. A Captain Courageous. And now may I say that Charles Roberts, the big, towering captain of the cupholders, an well afford to forgot the trials and toi- "mlations he suffered because of hia aesocin- ,DiZF-E:77N4C, <Z tdoa with the Players' Union in the battle with the Football Association. His Christ- mas-box is a heavy and substantial one—some X800, which, I imagine, is, with the exception if the benefit given to Lot Jones, the little Walshtomn, who plays so cleverly for Man- iJses+T City, absolutely a record testimonial io any player who has evor taken part in the game. Roberts deserves well of the foot- ball community; no professional has ever given such a high tone to the game. He has been a Captain Courageous all the time. From the day he left his home at Darlington for Grimsby Town he has been a wonderful footballer; his connection with the Manches- ter United Club has meant a revolution in Manchester football. He had most to do .with the club winning a place in the First League; he was bhe head and front of the campaign Which ended in Cottonopolis having the English Cup for the second time in the City's history. And a Substantial Christmas Box. Roberts is fortunate in the fact that he is iin present-day football. One wonders what jome of the old timers would have said if, Jtfter playing-some five years, they drew near- ly .21000. In my travels I often run against many players who were famous in other days; without exception they think tha.t the men who are now playing ha.ve a better time than .when they were kicking the ball, though ,when they were before the public there was no such thing as a maximum wage. As I have said, Roberts has earned every penny he has received. He has always conducted aimself with becoming seriousness; and his football Life is a pattern to all young foot- baU players. If footballers generally re- cognised what a big undertaking they embark upon when they tclke their chances with this club and that, we should not bewail as we axe very often compelled to do the poor sta.nda.rd of play which we too frequently see. I hope that the big success Roberts has made will induce the great bulk of players to realise that professional football can be made a calling which is worthy of following. The Race for th3 Top. By the time this article a-ppears much will have happened in the Lo-aguo world. This is tho season when managers know little joy; those responsible for the conduct of the clubi in the running for the championship of one of the iTDmipcftiuons wear a worried look, fearful that their players may fall prore to the holiday ■tnioe.pr.ere those whose teams hover ominously around tho bottom of the tables are buoyed up cith expectations, and so tho club official, like the players, knows little joy. Especially will teams like Glossop, Manchester City, Leicester Fceeo, Derby County, and Fuiham be pleased when the holiday season oomea to an end. As in oilier years, the race for promotion is a neck- and-neck struggle; there is scarcely a pin to choooc between the first balf-doscii, but at the moment one may remark that Glossop arc hold- ing up manfuliy. Those amateur forwards Mr Hill Wood has induced to help the club are worth their weight in goold. Good old Derby County are coming along splendidly, and Leices- ter h:6:ie during Christmas showed a distinct improvement. But Manchester City had better look out for squalls if they cannot do better than they did against Bradford. Dy the way. the First League team belonging' to the York- shire town surprised Middlesbrough on Christ- m;us Day, and 1 am sure when the season comes to be reviewed the doings of the Bradford City Club will form one of the brightest features. But, I say, what contrasts one can strike Take Birmingham, for instance. Who would have thought the team would have fallen upon such n days Plucky Stoke. Albert Shepherd, who leads the Newcastle for- wards, is one of those players who can be posi- tively thrilling*; on his day I doubt whether we have such another centre-forward. There is no obstacle seeamngiy strong efnough to bar his way vhen he sets his mind on getting goals- Bert Freeman, of Everton, is a wonder in his way; but as a footballer Shepherd is very riuch hia superior.- The old Bokcn man fairly took tho Woolwich people by etcrm on Christmas Day. There was no man who could hold him, and as on* ^watched him one thought of the mighty pQssnbiii.Eie-3 of tho lino which he leads. But shepherd and colleagues are incorrigibly tickle. There is no teiiing what they will do two days .together. From what I have seen cf Newcastle- this aeasqn they a.re nothing like so ycod as they i ve been. I hold Blackburn Hovers to bo a much more reliable team- They have a ir.-agliniecji? defence—the best in the country, J tIl il-and choir forwards, without being brilliant or so clever as the Newcastle lino, are splendiidlj workmanlike. I should not be surprised if the flown won the Cun. And talking about the historic pot, may I oongratu- la.re tho Stoke officials- on their decision to play their tie with Newcastle on their own ground ? Money may be kxKUy wanted by the Pottery club, and I dare-ay Newcastle folk would have paid t!«m hambomely to appear at St. James's Park- -but they would have lout tiioir best sup- porters, i arr, sa, e,, if they had forfeited their light to appear on their own ground. Tbe fortWlffi of Stoke are at a low ebb, but. thcty need 011)7 preserve the sa-nc dotermiixatior. to the future as they did in dealing witl, the United to back to something like the posi- uxrn they once held. There is scarcely anything 50 pathetic in football history as the falling away of Stoke, ==-

THE COMBINATION.
THE COMBINATION. BANCOR BEAT BRYMBO WITH A WEAKENED TEAM. (By "Recorder.") Bangor 3 Brymbo 1 Brymbo were the fisitore at Bangor on Boxing Day, it being their first match under the auapioes of the Combination- The match was regarded as an iiKportant one and likely to at- tract a big gate, but heavy rain fell during the afternoon, spoiling the turt and the g'a.me. The teams were:- BANGOR: W. Jones; J. Jones and W. Evans; Arridge, A. Thomas, and Jimmy Jones; Humphreys, Jçe Thomas, I-I. Owen, II: Davies, and Oliver. BRYMBO: Matthias; Dai Davies and Dai Jones; Joe Williams, T. B. Jones, and E. A. Roberts; J. Williams, Robert Jones, II. Dodd, Lloyd, and J Bate. Referee: Mr Taylor, Birkenhead- The tirst aggressive movement was made by Bangor and it seamed as though Hughie Davies would ecoro, but Dai Davies intervened. At the other end a corner kick wias forced and W. Jones was lucky to capture the ba.11 just as it was gvying into the net. For a while the visitors had the best of the exchanges, showing great persistency, and J. Bate, with a little luck might have scored. The state of the turf m4.de the players do strange things and naturally, the shooting" wag anything' but accurate. H. Owen was playing a. delightful game as pivot for -in 1> Bangor, feeding both wings with the beat of passes- The first round of applause greeted Alf. Thomas who let fly at the Brymbo goal at terrific speed- Matthias being lucky to save at the expense of a. corner. In his best style Oliver sailed down the wing, diddled everyone who came across it; crcrocd the ball to tho centre, when H. Owen was prepared for it, and in the coolest manner he piloted the ball into the net. Glorious chances were given Brymbo, who, though very clever in midtfield. were cor- respondingly poor in front of goal. If. OWEN'S SECOND GOAL. The second ,oal for Bangor also came from the toe of H. Owen, who trickily slipped in bø- tween the full backs and the goalker^?r and had the ball in the net before the latter was quite aware what had- happened- Close to the interval R. Jones so-nt in a terrific shot at the Bangor goal and to all appearanaes the ball was far out of W. Jones' reach, but he made a leap and diverted it amid cheers. The visitors put in a spell of pressing and' Arridge did svell to head out from a comer. Half-time: Bangor 2, Brymbo 0. The first incidtent of note in the second half was a well-aimed shot at the Brymbo goal by Oliver, and it almost scored. Alter H. Owen had shot into the goal- keeper's hands, Oliver rushed up and scored No 6 for Bangor- Directly afterwards the Bangor custodian maclo a save which required a good deal of smartness. With only the Bangor custodian before him, John Williams failed to score for tho visitors, who play appeared to suffer rrore by the state of the ground than the homesters. The game alternated from end to end and the visitors wore by no means a beaten team, several tiir.es being within an ace of scor- ing*. The visitors' right wing mado a startling run, when they erfcese-d the bail over to the other side looked like eventuating in a goal, but the cuntodian nipped in at the right moment and cleared. The homesters then pressed for all thef,- were worth and 11. Owen nearly scored the fourth with an overhead lack. 11. Dodd made a dart down the field, hotly pursued by Jack Jones who managed to frustrate him at the last minutv J Bate managed to score for Brymbo and they deserved the point- The crowd now began to yell, especially as Brymbo ehap-wl for another goal, but, they failed to do the trick, however Final: Bang'or 3, Brymbo 1.

DENBIGH v. RHYL. A RECORD GATE AND A IGOROUS GAME- Denbigh 2 Rhyl 1 The moeting, of these local rivals for the first time in the Combination tourney took place on the Craig-road Ground. Denbigh, on Saturday last (Christmas Day), and in anticipation of a g>'X)d g'arno a record crowds assembled, many having come by a special train from Rhh 1. Neither team was a.t full strength, and Denbigh had to call upon four reserves at the last moment owing to the straying of a motor car which had been hired to bring tho rag'-olar tull-backs, right half, and inaide left. The game was delayed for a short time. After play had been in pro- gress for about twenty minutes, the missing players turned up, but they were too late to take part in the- game. Mr Tom Jones, Holywell, was tnc referee, and the teams wem DENBIGH: S. Griffiths; E. C. Hughes R. T. Williams; H. Cartwright, T. A. Davies, and T. Di-vies; R. M. Evans, E. E. Davies, Gal- lagher, Lloyd, and D. B. Davies. RIIYL: Birch; W. Williams and A. Roberts; Party, R. Hughes, and Morris; Pritchard, D. Hughes, Frost, Harrison., and L',crt Jones. The home captain won the toes and elected to commence work with the slope in favour of his team- The visitors proceed for about five minutes, during which tune the heme goal was subjected to some exciting onslaughts. A few flag-kicks wore g-i. ven, but these were not majo- rized. Then the visitors were driven back, and in due course Denbigh took up the aggressive, but the Rhyl custodian proved equal to a.11 shots until a surprise left) foot drive from the foot of R. M. Evan3 found its billet at the back of the net, Birch diving- to save i.t just a fraction of a second too late- Tho men now warmed up to their work, and Denbigh all but increased their lead, a good shot from Gullag'her just going past, while another from E. E. Davies caught the post and glanded out past It- 1\1. Evans, whom it took liy • surprise. Rhyl played hard after these narrow escapes, and eventually Frost rushed the ball through after Griffiths had fallen just previously • in Saving off the same player. Now that the sides were on equal terms play became very exciting, and although the home- sters had most of the both goals had nar- row escapes, Frost- boating Griffiths and hitting the crossbar, and Evans and Gallagher doing something similar at the other end. With only a few minutes of the half to go, Davy Ilughea etruck the inside of the upright with a grand shot, but had the mortification of seeing the ball oorrbo straight out ;to him attain, and this time he sent behind. The Rhyl players loudly claim- ed' a goal, but tho referee, very properly in the writer's opinion, d not allow it. Half-time arrivod with the n6 krvcl. both having scored & goal. ° Pby at tlse opening of the second half was not of a ve. <wiajkratin.g' character, and, as the ground was deteriorating the antics of the players in trying to gain foothold were, to say t}¡e]east.. peculiar. Although the gsjne had some exciting incidents, nothing' p«irticu!ariy noteworthv of- curred- Little Norman Pritchard on the extreme rp-ht w' sometimes a source of danger to the homes-tors, fr he ^loverly rounded Tom Davies on moro tha,n O'!lo.- oeeasron and sent in some good .-hots, But Grifiiths had all his wits about him, and sa.yed the situation on numerous oooa- rior'1 After about 25 minutes' play, however, Galkighor, from a,;pasr, from the right, ran up, and gave Birch no chance, although the latter had saved aji almost similar attempt from E.

It was the largest gate seen, this season, end Denbigh brought many sup- portcrj with them, a special train being run. Ow.ng to the rccent dispute between tho it',yl Grange and Denbigh, and the defeat (2-1) of Ithyl on Christmas Day by Denbigh, feeling on both sidet3 were ruthcr rig-h, and at the close of the match therj w.s a display of host l.ties amcng a,m.o ol tl;.c supporters outside the ground.

It was not long from the kick off that Gallagher, fcr Den- bigh. managed to find the net, the shot going in from a penalty. After t. is Frost quickly equal- ised from a pass by B.

N.W. COAST LEAGUE
N.W. COAST LEAGUE (Division I.) Bia CROWD WITNESS CARNARVON GO UNDER. (By "Recorder.") Bangor .I. 3 Carnarvon 1 A large holiday crowd asremibled to witness this match at Bangor en Christma.s Day, a special train with about 600 passengers having been run from Carnarvon- At Carnarvon, -earlier in the season Bangor beat the "Canaries" by a substantial margin, and as t.he visitors hoped to avenge that defeat, a good game was anticipated- Tho teams were: — CARNARVON: R. W. Thomson; H. R. Phillips and Albert Griffiths; J. Griffiths, Herbert, and Johnny W'iliiaims; R. II. Robarts, E. Hughes, Walter Jones, '1'. Roberts, and J. Jones. BANGOR: Ted Owen; Hwfa Williams and D. J. Thomas; Owen, H. J. Davies, and D. T. Davieu; Rowlands, Burns, Bob Davies, Ivor Thomas, and Edgar Lloyd Jones- Referee: Mr Walter Parry. The opening stages were wholly in favour of Carnarvon, who played surprisingly good fcot- ball. Evan Hughec sent in a shot from -long range, Ted Owen having a warm handful. Though closely attended by Arthur lOwen, Tom Roberts managed to swing across an accurate centre, which led to a hot attack on the Bangor goal, and Walter Jones should have scored, but his back-heel didn't come off. Bangor managed to break away and the Carnarvon contingent gTew rather apprehensive as Thomson was far from safe, conceded a corner when he had amp la time for clearing. Carnarvon were certainly having the best of matters, continually pressing, and they forcod a series of corners- J. Williams seemed fond cf giving away "hands," and from the third almost scored per Ivor Tho- mas, who mis-xxi by an inch or two. J. Griffiths frustrated several attampts at combination by tho Bangor forwards. In a line the Carnarvon front rank ran down the field, the ball being neatly tapped from foot to foot until it reached R. II. Roberts, who spoilt the movement by trying to trick I). J. Thomas. At the other end, PhiI:1ps made a timely clearance. CARNARVON ON THE ALERT. It was surprising* that Carnarvon had not 6corcd, as they did all the pressing. The Gannr- von crowd smiled hugely as Tom Robarti waltzed down the field, but it was the Bangor section which iaug'hod when he finished with a milk and water s'hot. Bob Davies, after tricking J. Griffiths, fired in a, terrific shot, which, if it had bse-ii an inali or two nearer the mark must have scored. Then Evan Hughes sailed down tho field in grand style only to finish very feebly. The Carnarvon halves were not giving entire safe faction, and more often than not they mistook foe for friend when passing. At length, CamüTvon g'ot what they deserved—a goal. Jones was the actual Ð;)orer, but Evan Hughes dcid a.11 the preliminary work, drawing out both Bangor backs, P-ra all the pivot had to do was to place the ball in tho net- The next incident of note was a try by Burns, close to the interval. Half-time: Carnarvon 1. Bangor 0. Bangor were the first to press in the second half and were favoured with a free kick closo in. but Edgar Jones sent behind. The light was failing* even at this early stage of the second half and when at positiorft at the field, the bail could not bo aeon from the grand stand- Bangor forced a couple of oorners, from one of which Thomson made a smart save. Edgar Lloyd Jones ma.de a hash of a glorious opportunrity from a free kick close in. Bangor now. com- menced to make their prcse.r.oe felt, and tffro-ii a corner splendidly placed by Edgar Lloyd Jones, Bob Davies equalised tho scores with a header. Inspired by this success the Bangor forwards rushed down the field in grand 5ty k, Bob Davies drove the ball across to Rowlands, who slammed the ball in; out it came ag'ain, and in it went again, a.nd Albert Griffiths in trying to clear sent through his own goal—No. 2 for Bangor Then the Carnarvon forwards rushed away and Walter Jones made a. spurt ahead of his colleagues- IIwfa also made a spurt, sent Walter sprawling*, but unfortunately both players fell on Ted Owen,* who had come out to save, and apparently he was badly hurt. Tiio game Wa3 stopped for a bit, but to the relief of tho crowd, Tod came round. The game bee■#•;<; more even and both ends were visited in turn. R. II. Roberts, after baating Jíwfa, found himself with only Ted Owen in front of him, but he tent wide. 11. J. scored Bangor's third goal

ROOSTERS STILL AHEAD. (Dy "Dolydd.") Llanrwvr-t 6 Cohvyn Bay 2 The above clubs met in a League fixture at Gwydr Park on Monday, before a large crowd of spectators. A drizzle prevailed throughout the afternoon, causing the ground to become exceedingly slippery while in front of both goals was a patch of mud. Referee Ellis Hughes, Blaenau Feetinio-g. lined the teams as LLANRWST: Giilett; Cecil Morgan and W. Trevor Jones; Humphrey Roberts. It. D. Richards, a.nd Francis Williams; G.

The visitors having won t'r,e toes, selected to face the Castle. The &ea.s.Íde.1"3" right wing in- augurated an attack which fizzled out before Trover. Clove them got clean away, carefully fed by W. T. Jonce, but shot wide of the mark. A aolo run by Adamscm was spoiled by Morgan, with the reauJt that the pivot hot wide of the mark. A pretty run by the visitors' left winig finished off with an accurate gTOUijdetr from Stanley Hughes, but Gillett fielded the leather smartly. R. D. Richards commenced > danger- ous move for tihe homesters and passed to Ilowel, who, in turn crossed to Chishohn who sent the sphere spinning over the crowbar—a close shave. A pretty eoJo run by Denis terminated in a lovely oblique shot, Hallwood just tipped the leather to the left of the goal, vvhe.ix-upon Chishohn pounced upon it and engineered it safely into the net amid a roar of applause. The visitors left mug was next conspicuous, Stanley Hughes misusing the upright by inches only. The horr.e- stars, however, returned to the attack, Flawe) receiving a timely pass from AV. T. Jones, skim- mintg the crossbar- A run by the visitors'' ágt wing terminated in Evans forcing Morgan to concede a corner. Evans centred ratjjer too far up tho field, with the result that Cleve se- cured poesea-don and-parted to W. T. Jones, who in tarn tipped the bah to Denis, who boat liilais and sent in a shot which chipped the up- right. The Cohvyn Bay left wing now became activo and forced a couple of oorners off the homesters to no purpose. Ilowel then got awaiy and parted to Ch-gholm, who skimmed the cross- bar. The homesters now pressed oeverel), and during a melee, Hallwood was called upon to clcar from Chishokn and Denis. ANOTHER GOAL FOR THE ROOSTERS.
ANOTHER GOAL FOR THE ROOSTERS.…
Ulfrve at last sect the leather into the net, falling- into the mud in doing the trick. A series of attacks by tho visitors proved futile, the home dofen.ee being too strong to penetrate- The strain, however, did not last long, the Roosters very shortly were swarming in front of Hall- wood, who appeared to bear a charmed life aa ho sustained a severe bombardment in magnifi- oprtt sty'e. A fine run by Denis resulted in a fine f,bot, Haihvood partly ckared, but W. T. Jonori rurihad uip and placed tho leather in the not, amidst the Rooster war cry, which reverbera- ted round the ropes. At half-time the Roasters led by 3 goals to nail- On resuming, a dinjg-dong ganie ensued for several minute;. Then the homesters pressed perictently, Haliwood earning- universal ad- miration by tho way he kept his charge intact. At last. however, during a terrific bombardmont Humph rep Roberts sent the leather past the E'oalie The venue then changed, Colwyn Bay clustered in front of Gdlett, who, in trying to clear from a shot off Adamson, slipped in the mnd and fell, the leather finding* the not in Che mecunitirne. In a few minutes during a ocrim- mage, J. P. 11ughen eooned another goal for the visitors. The hctnoGteris, however, soon had their revenge, a rush by the forwards in line, resulting' in Howcl crashing the baiil against the crcmbar. Tho leather mbounded to Denis, who, with a terrific shct secit it between tho goal- posts The Roosters from this period to the end attacked persistently. HoweJ Roberts just before the final whistle pounded, oant a fine drivo from twenty yarcta off jt under the bar and it completely beat Hallwood, tho game re- sulting in a victory for the Roosters by 6 goaJå to 2.

TABLES TURNED ON BANGOR RESERVE. A VIGOROUS GAME. (By "Spectator.") Carnarvon United 3 Banigor Reoarvo 1 On Chrisbmaa Day Banigor Reserve enter- tained Carnarvon United in a Leag-ue encounter and ram out winners bt 3 goals to 1. On Boxing Day Bangor Reserve journeyed to Carnarvon in a return fixture. A large contingent followed the Citizens in rpiite of the unfavourable weathro and the arena was an awful sight. The game opened with Carnarvon playing to- wards therlr favourite end and with the wind and rain in their favour. The following players lined up in dharg'a of Mr A. C- Slater, Llan- dudno CARNARVON UNITED: Thomson; Phi hips and Albert Griffiths; J. Griffith, Herbert and Jade Williams; R. H. Roberts, Evan Hughes, Walter Jones, Tom Roberts, and Johnny Jones. BANGOR RESERVE: Tod Owen; Tom lie- land and D. J. Thomas; Arthur Owen, H. J. Davies and D. T. Davies; Harry Rowlands, C. Burns, Bob Davoes, Ivor Thomas, and Edgar Lloyd Jocetj. Aided by the elements the home quintette came down quiokly in gallant style, but the City defence prevailed- Not to be denied, how- cyer, Carnlarvon again approached Ted's citadel and WTalter Jones tested him. Tho attack was .repuleed, Ted bringing off a capital save. Bangor forced the bail out of their own half but faded to make much headway. After about twenty minutes' play, Waiter Jones shot hard in and Ted. in trying' to clear fell and hugged the' leather and then threw away, but Ireland was out of his place and Tom Roberts rushed up before him and scored- After tlriil feeling reached a high pitch among the spectators and. the heavy rain did not dan-pen tho ard-our of the home supporters. 'Ihe muddy state of the ground played havoc with ah attempts at good football on both sc;dos. The next incident of note was performed by J. Griffith who placed R. 11. Roberts in possesion, and he over-ran the ball and D. J. Tho.naj met him with such force that Thomas was rond-ered hors doe combat. The Carnarvon players were bent on adding to their score, but Bangor now made headway after feeding by Arthur Owen, who placed Burns in possession, but the wird spoilt attempts at gocd marksmanship and too ball went over tho goal line. Wi" Iz-t D. J. Thomas was off tho field, Hob Davies came to fill the vacancy. Carnarvon again forced tho g-ame to the visi- tors' quarters but D. T. D vies cheeked an attack by the right wing. CARNARVON TWO UP. The ball was kicked to touch and from a foul throw against Bang'or J. Griffith placed Walter Jones in possession, but he, owing to II. J. Davies' perjistency had to pass it on to Johnny- Jones who centred nicely and Tom Huberts again boat Ted OWQU. After this D. J. Thomas re- appeared and once more met H.. II. Roberts who again brought hiin down. Bangor now seemed to bo having the worst of it in ail respects and were hemmed in their cwn territory. From a free kick close in, Evan Hughes secured the ball, and after diddling two or three players parted to Tom Itobsrra who had no difficulty ia finding the not for the third time thus doing the hat-trick. The en'thusiaam of the Carna.r- von spectators now knew no bounds. Half-time: Carnarvon 3 Bangor 0. With the elements in their favour Bangor opened with an attack on t,h09 Canaries' strong- hold a.nd Charlie Burns narrowly missed the bidet with a teaser. Johnny Jones and the veteran, Tom, played a good and Round g'ame- Harry Rowlands wxnired the leather and neatly tricked Albert- Griffiths and galloped down, but Phillips rudhsd aerccs and stopped the run. Bangor weno now seen to better advantage and kept up the pressure but oould not pierce the defence. Boe,fore long the Citizens were awarded a penalty and Charlie Bums converted with a lovely shot. From this on, the plat: was very even, Ted Owen on several occasions brought off clever saves which gained for ban rounds of applause. The game was frequently 6topped owing to players being disabled, a.nd taotic.; be- ing indulged in which Mr Slater a.nd the spec- tators reoenred. Final: Carnarvon 3, Bangor il-
-L" RAJN SFOILS A HOLIDAY…
-L" RAJN SFOILS A HOLIDAY MATCH AT PWLLHEU. GAMK STOPPED. (By RIKUJo.") I I J.IamluJno 0 At Pwllhili on Eoxing Day, in miserable weather. Rain har] fallen during tho morning-, and had saturated the Recreation Ground in such a way that it was impossible to play correct fiotball. In spite of the indesnent weather a large ciwd of spectators as- sembled. The teams, lined by Mr IC. Lloyd Williams, Ea:ig"or, Lha referee, were as follows:- PWLLHELI: Eob Williams; W. Thomas, Griffith Evans; Saunders Williams, Bob Bob Jones, W. Griffith, Slaseley Jones, Now Jones, J. Williams, B. Evans. LLANDUDNO S'allaid C. Bobsrfs, J. II. Jones Erowu, Johnson, Pearson W. D. Williams, Brookes Evans, J. Williams, l-t. Davies, Mackenzie. There is not much to say in regard to the general play during the first half, as no goal was scored by either side. But on the performances of the individual members of the teams inuoh might be written. Each side had very strong backs, and the forward lines were very sn:art. I11 0:10 way the visiting forwards v3ry s- were suproior t'o thesr They uspported each other better, combined better, and made unex- pected rushes for goal, but when they obtained chances to gain points they failed miserably. Of course, .they sent some well-aimed long tange shots, but Bob Wil. liams easily cleared them. Strange to say, however, when a goal was to be had by simply giving a short straight drive, the forwards could not manage it. Brookes Evans, J. Williams, Brown, C. Itoberts, Pear- son, W. D. Williams, ar.d others were very prominent in the thick of the fight. Their combined rushes and beautiful passes wete a pleasure to wifness, and they almost got the ball into the net several times. Had t.he custodian been of poorer stuff two or three goals would have been recorded for Llandudno. Stallard filled the goal s-plenclidly. and Bob Jones was simply magniScent G. Evans was only once fairly passed,-he was safe and sound at his post, and on one occasion he actually took a place in-the forward line, and became very cl<11:6rous at a most awkward juncture for the visitors. J. Wi:liams (Pen- quin), though dripping wet, was as nimble as ever, and put in some good work. Now Jones, though play- ing a sure game, seemed to be too much under tho .shadow of Moseley, the hero of the home team. Saunders put in some splendid rushes, whilst ben Evans, with his accustomed agility and clean play, rendered first class service on the wing. Pughe, who has come now to the first rank of the home pbycrs, strova splendidly to benefit his side. If anything, Llandudno were tho better team during the first half, though they had no goaFs to their credit. The seoond half taw the Penquins more desperate, and the crowd were anxious that the Blues (Pwllheli) should score, but O. Roberts and J. H. Jones, the visiting bcks, would not let J. Williams, Moseley, and Now Jones have their own way, and Brown, Johnson, P«'.rsc*n, Brookes Evans, R. Davies, and J. Williams were frequently attacking the home goal. Brookes Evans almost got through once. PENGUINS SCORE. After a tough scuffle near the home goru, G. Evans relieved the pressure, passed to Saunders who dashed splendidly down the field, evading all opposition, and he passed to Moseley, who was in readiness for it. Then a tremendous struggle took pJace wit,hin t.he penalty area. It was most interesting to see. Mosoley, who is small of stature, fighting like a giant amongst the Llandudno stalwarts. The excitement was intense as Moseley rushed with the ball fro the goal, and feejut Stallard sprawling in the water. There waz a treman- dous oheer at this resrr'.t. Pwllheli carrtinued to press, and the visitors rusbfd for the home goaJ. As the rain increased and a fog enveloped the field the teams agreed to postpone the game, the score then reading: Pwllheli 1, Llandudno 0-

CCNWAYITES* FRUITL.ESS JOURNEY TO HOLYHEAD. (By "Critic.") Holyhea<d 5 I Conway 0 I In the oorrespondiins ga.me last season, Con way were trouncned to ilia extent of eleven goals to nil, buit no one expected history to repeiat it- self in this instance. There was a splendid holi- day orowd on Christmas Day at Hodybead, wbo.11 the teams lined up, the "gato" realising ovor L17. Referee E. lilloyd-W.iliums lined the raui up as under:— HOLYIIEAD: CcJlior; Q. Morgan and Rolan.d Wiliiaims; W. Taylor, W. T. Jones. and R. Ellis; Hugh WiLi'.ajns, J. Jones (\Vai'aee), 0. B.

The opening exchanges favo-uned the homo team, O. B. being oarly prairinexit with good footwork. Coiilie.r wa.3 the first to bo called ud-un to handle, though there waa no for anxiety. At Lboe end Salisbury wound up some tricky play wrbh a spleJidid shot which Parry held safely. Collier had again to handle from a free kick well taken by Wild Evans. Good work by W. T. enabled O. B- to get through, and he had tho backs well beaten when he shot aÐt t.110 upright on the wrong side. A centre from D. T. Jones went over. The homesters practically mo-topoLiscd ♦he p!ay, but there ws an utter lack of cohesion on the part cf the front rank, Sjs- bury being the only forward who was doing hiin- .y <111 e-clf justice- Later they improved, and one shot from Salisbury nearly did the trick, but L'ew Parry effected a brilliant clearance. Parry brought. ofF a fine save from 0. B., and in the mart minuto a rasping shot f.rom Salisbury struck the upright, and bounded into play, to b9 ctearod by Tom Jones. Try as they would the home team oould not find the net. Upon the rare occasion that Conway crossed the half-way line they did not prove in any way dangerous Rol- and keeping them at bay .vihh powerful drives. A nice oen'ire from J. Jones (London-road) was turned inwards by O. B., but Parry cleaa-ed all right, and then Salisbury shot over the crossbar- At last, after an almost continuous bombard- ment., O. B. worked for an opening, and at the crucial moment parted to Hugh Williams, the latter scaring amid loud chows- In less than a minuto they again found themselves Dear the visiting goa. and a terrific struggle ensued, Salisbury bedng gi-aseod in the penalty area when he had an open goal facing him. Half-time H ol-yhead 1, Conway 0. The re-opened sensationally, for in the fijTct minute tho homesters bore down upon Parry and Tom Jones heading away the ball to W. T., who was standing just outside the penalty line. He at once let drive a low fast shot which found its way into the not. Hardly had the baJI been re-sta,rted when Johnny Wallace got away on the ri^-l't and finished up with a sparkling shot. Parry -cleared right enough, but the baN .rcnt to lluigh Williams, who put on the third goal. W. T. again tested Parry, but with no success. A corner cn the home right and also on the left were fTuitions. The game was of a one- s'ded nature, and it resolved its--If into a question of how many goals th-a leaders would win by. The fourth goal was a long time coming, but when it eventuated it was a beauty. O. B. worked finely for an opening, and had then sent it forward- Hugh Wililiams while on the run turned round his foot, met the ball, and the next instant the bill was waiting to be picked up from the netting by P-,rry. To Johnny Wuliaco fell thi3 credit of scoring the fifth goal. Final: Holyhead 5. Conway 0.
HOLYHEAD v. FESTSNIOG
HOLYHEAD v. FESTSNIOG (By "Critic.") Holyhead 1 Fewtuniog 0 This game was played on Boxing Day. before a mere handful of spectators. There was but OIli) change in the personnel of the homo team from tlhit which did dutn on Saturday, L. Mo Noli talcing the place of Johnny Jones, Lon- don road. The referee waB Mr \V. R. Welch, Crowe. It would bo well nigh impossible to imagine a football ground in a more sodden condition than was the 0-vaJ on this afternoon- To inako matters in-orso, there was a heavy downpour of rain, and the players had a sorry time of it, and so miserable were tho conditions that Mr Welch wiscJy decided to curtail the play by ten minutes in each half with the ready consent of the oppos- ing oaptaim The visitors, it was easily seen, who came from a place where it is stated it always rains, were in no wisa disconcerted by the wrstehed state of the ground, while 011 the other hand, the homo pJar.ers at times flounder- ed hopeletiily in the mire. Under tho ciicuni- 5t.ancø;, it was not to bo wondered at that the baill would not travel over the ground, while scientific footwork was qu'ito out of the question. i there was any amount of determi- nation shown, both sides doing their utincet. The game offered a lenson in contrasts, for wheTcas the Fostinicg'itco adopted the long pasm.ng game, the homesters adhered to thoir usual uhort paa-jinig taobkis, which against most teams would be fa.tal cn such a ground. The forwards, as as their custom, attempted to dribble the ball into goal, instead of shooting whenever tihoy g'ot within measurable dis.ta.nce. Had they dene eo the margin would have been ccmciderabiy more than it wa3, for they had by far the greater share of the game. When the interrval arrived at the end of 35 minutes, there was no flooring. Though pressing hard for three-fourths of the next it seemed as if the long ex- pected goal would not materialise. Thcri'r per- sistent efforts, however, bore the desired fruit, noUvitihstiandiD g the bra.ve display given by Smith between the uprights. This was the outcome of a. splendid centre from McNaLl, Hugh Willia ns pouncing upon the lci.ihec: and driving it homo with great"forcc. This was the only goal of the matoh, t,l] c homesters thus earning two well-deserved points. The losers several times threatened clanger, especially from the extreme left, but Morgaa was in grand forra, while Taylor aho v performed douglity deeds. 0. B. Edwards worked desperately hard through- cut. Hugh Williams did well on the whole, though he has a tendency to lja-vcj his heck towards the opposing goal. Johnny Wallace placed up woll in the second half, and Salis- bury did any number of good things, though he would do well to part wifth the ball sooner than he does. Collier was safe in goal. W.T. and Dick Ellis were splendid. Final: Holyhead, 1; Feftiniag, 0.
