EXTREMES MEET AT DENBIGH. 9 Brymbo 2 Denbigh • 1 In view of the scant success attending the Denbigh team during the season most followers of the game locally thought that the Brymbo team, which is at the head of the Combination table, wouid enjoy a run away victory at Den- high on Saturday, but the game proved one of the best contested on the Gray-road Ground, Denbigh, in the history of the Denbigh Town F.C From start to finish the play was very fast, and had Denbigh had the luck which seemed to be entirely favouring the visitors Denbigh would have had" the honour of negotiating their first win at the expense of the leaders of the Combina- tion. The weather ideal, and the field, which is one of the best playing pitches in the whole of North Wales, was in excellent condition. The teams lined out in charge of Mr J. T. Hughes, Flint, as follow, DENBIGH: J. Hay ward; T. Dickins and J. Parry Evans; H. Evans, E. C. Hughes, and H. Cartwright; J. Tucktield, E. E. Davies, R. Thomas" H. Randies, and D. B. Davies. BRYMBO: Matthias; J. Williams and D. Jones; J. Jones, T. D. Jones, and D. Davies, A. Williams, H. Slater, J. S. Bate, Oswald Jones, and J. J. Patten. Brymbo won the toss, and played up the slope. from the kick-off it could be seen that the game ould be very even. Brymbo were the first to trouble the goalkeeper, Hayward being well cheered for running out to meet a forward rush '-ld succeeding in averting danger. Ends were quickly changed, and Matthias once or twice in a few moments saved good shots from the homo forwards- Brymbo forwards then raced off to- gether towards the Denbigh goal. Oswald Jones sent in a shot when just inside the penalty area, and the ball struck the posts at the joint be- 'tween the crossbar and the upright and went sraight up into the air, dropping on the head of Bate, who had only to divert it into the net. Thus was drawn first blood for Brymbo. The home team attacked in a determined fashion, and only the brilliance of Matthias kept them from ■coring. Randies and Thomas had hard luck, the latter shooting and the former fcMowing up the Tot tdl out-witted by Matthias, who side stepped tend cleared, while Randies fell into the goal in %is endeavour to score. Play continued to be interesting, with the homesters enjoying the best 1of matter*. R. Thomas got through for Den- feigh and netted It was well worked for, but during the operation one of tho isitors fell and appeared to be hurt. The referee saw him fall, ¡.d whistled as the ball was entering the net, and Denbigh had a good goal disallowed. The player Boon recovered, and the ball was thrown down in (close proximity to the visitors' goal. This availed the home team nothing, and play was after ^aostly contested in midfield, r either side gaining much advantage, though both goalkeepers had a few awkward shots to negotiate. Denbigh tried fcard to equalise, and during a hot attack on the Brymbo goal Berwyn Davies brought Matthias to his knees with a fast ground shot, which al- lpost beat him. A corner accrued. When the flag kick was sent in an exciting tussle took place C. tho goalmouth, but the ball was eventually tared. Brymbo now had a turn in attack, and, -th wing men being fast, danger was imminent. ten forced one or two corners on the left wing, rClut was unsuccessful in placing them. Wil- liams got going on the Brymbo right, and sent in a cross shot, which Hayward (who was play- ing with a badly damaged hand) failed to stop properly. The ball rolled between his hands, Bate helping it into the net. Denbigh played fplendidly afterwards, but the fates were against em, and half-time arrived with Brymbo en- joying an undeserved lead of two goals to nil. After the respite both team opened well, and showed promise of equally exciting play. Den- bigh were first to attack, E. E. Davies, who had been working hard, starting a movement which would have boded ill for the visitors had it not been for Matthias, who saved several shots at long and short range in quick succession. Brymbo occasionally got away, but the home {backs and half-backs, who were playing in excel- lent style, repeatedly held them in check. In phis respect the brilliant plan of Evans, the home left back, must be particularly mentioned. Al- I though only young, he is developing into a really food left back. It was from his work that Den- igh started a raid which brought them a goal. He passed along the carpet to one of the inside forwards, who crossed to Berwyn Davies. The latter outwitted the visitors' right half-back and raced past, beating him by yards, and, rounding the full back, he sent In a wise centre. Dick Thomas failed to stop the ball, and there was a chance for a clearance by tho Brymbo left full, but E. E Davies whipped up, and sent the ball to the top of the rigging, midst the loud plaudits of the crowd. Brymbo retaliated from the cen- tre, but found Hayward in form; he saved some ascrs. Play was carried from end to enff with wonderful rapidity, and from a throw-in on the Brymbo right close to their goal, R. Thomas cen-

tred, but there was no one to meet it. Subse- quently Thomas himself missed a glorious chance of scoring. Then Berwyn Davies, with a clear field, instead of running on and shooting when close in tried from long range, and sent very wide. The fast pace at which the game had been played was now beginning to tell on both sets of players, and towards the close, although the homo eleven were having the best of matters, play slackened down perceptibly. Close on time Hay- ward saved niarvellously from Bate, when Brymbo made a sudden break away. At the other end, from a glorious corner from Berwyn Davies, D. Jones headed away from under the bar when the goalkeeper had run out. The game ended in a win for the visitors by two goals to one.

CHESTER DEFEAT RHYL. AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. Chester 6 Rhyl 2 The match at Rhyl on Saturday between the local team and Chester resulted in a defeat of Khyi by 6 goals to 2. and it was attended with a very unfortunate incident, concerning which in all probability further inquiry will take place. The attendance of spectators was larger than usual, and the game was to a certain point of a good, interesting character. Rhyl started with ten men (Harrison being a late comer), and to- wards the close the local team were without the help of W. Williams. The teams were:— RHYL: Smith; W. Williams and T. Jones; D. Birch, T. A. Davies and M. Parry; Hornby, Frost. Lappin, Harrison, arid B. Jones. CHESTER: Morgan; Jones and Dorsett; Carter, Grainger, and Orimshaw; Cooney, Scho- field, McCartey, Holmes, and Brennan. The visitors quickly got away and before very long Grainger had worked the ball into a nioa 1 position. Smith did his best to save but Holmes received the ball aJidi in an easy manner scored. Breaking away on the right Rhyl had a look in, but Dorsett cleverly cleared' and McCartey and Grainger took the ball down the held again. Ten minutes from the start Schofield had found the net a SECOND TIME FOR CHESTER. Up to this point Rhyl had played ton men, but with the arrival of Harrison, there was more even play. Breaking away on the left, Harri- son and B. Jones tested' the visitors' defence, and the former missed a nice shot, the ball just el-earing the bar. After this Chester ha.d most ol the play for ten minutes, and repeatedly put Rhyl off-side. There were also a few bad fouls against the visitors. Carter essayed to get pos- session of the ball aaid with the lit lp of Grainger (who was without a doubt the finest player on the field) made a fine attack, but T. Jones saved well. Frost, Lappin and Hornby after t'his put in g'wd work and managed to force two corners in succession but nothing came of them, and Birch, who sent yards above tho upright, appeared to ba completely off colour. B. Jones oeJitred beautifully to Lappin, who placed the ball right into goal. Morgan just managed to save by turning the ball outside the net. Rhyl kept up the pressure, Hornby, Davies, and- T. Jones working' well. Harrison lost Rhyl a fina chance. The ball travelled right across the goal and B. Jones was in a good position for scoring but Harrison, rushed in and sent tho ball wide. The home team appeared to have bad luck, as Lappin shortly afterwards missed a good centre. Schofield relieved the pressure and a clever bit of combination was &een with Grainger and' Coonry, but W. Williams cleared. End to end play followed to half-time and the- teams turned over with the score reading: Chester 2, Rhyl 0. SECOND HALF. When play restarted Chester changed the posi- tion of their men, Schofield going to the centre and McCartey to the inside-right. The visitors pressed from the start, but the Rhyl backs put in good work and fed the right-wing better. B. Jones was given several opportunities, and he made the most of them. From a fine pass from Davies he centred to Frost, who put in a capital shot, but Morgan managed to clear. Rhyl then continued to press, and B. Jones was again in evidence, ceritrlng to Lappin and that player opened the Rhyl score with the best goal of the day. After this t lie re was exciting end-to-end play and Graingx>r, for the visitors, and B. Jones and Harrison for Rhyl were seen at their best. The home side had the advantage Lappin worked the ball down well, parted to B. Jones, who returned it, but just as Lappin was shooting for goal he was fouled. A penalty was given, and W. Williams scored Rhyl's second g'oal. After this there was keen plav and McCartey scored O-he.st.er"s third. The visitors continued to press and an UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT OCCURRED. The ball travelled to the Rhyl end on the left wing, W, Williams and Brerman had been on the ball. After an exciting tussle the ball went over the line. when a dispute occurred between the two men and blows were exchangedi before the other players could interfere. The referee despite. the protest of the spectators and Rhyl players, ordered Williams oft the field. In vain did those who witnessed the affair appeal for both players to be made to retire if one was sent off, but the referee refused to alter his: de- cision. Williams stood for a time by the stand and was persuaded by spectators to return to the fi-eld, but his better judgment prevailed and he again retired. The referee was appealed to by several of the spectators to order Brennan off the field, but ha was allowed to continue and shortly afterwards was able to score twioe, Rhyl missing the help of Williams. Towards the close of the game Grainger scored a sixth goal, the match ending in a win for Chester by 6 goals to 2.

WELSH AMATEUR CUP. (PRELIMINARY ROUND). THE CANARIES IN TUNE AT HOLYHEAD. Carnarvon I I Holyhead O I On Saturiiay, at Holyhead, the above teanis met in the preliminary round. Mr R. D. Richards, Bangor, marshalled the players in the following order: — HOLYHEAD Robert Owen; Owen Morgan and Roland Williams; Louis Jones, W. T. Jones, and Dick Ellis (captain); A. N. Other, R. C. Jones, H. 0. Jomee, W. S. Owen, and W. Brown. CARNARVONi G. H. Jones; H. R. More- ton Williams and Hugh Yones; W. Hughes, Mick Herbert, and J. P. Roberts; R. H. no.. berts, Evaa Hughes. Walter Jones, Tom Ro- berto. aad J. Jooea. The homesters won the toss. and the visitors set the ball rolling before a large crowd. For a time the game was rather poor, play being of a scrappy nature. However, it warmed up, and the home forwards attacked. R. C. Jones missed the net by inches only. Later on, Salis- bury Owen missed. At the other end, Walter Jones almost got through, but Roland Williams cleared well. The home team were attacking strongly, but Jones in g'oal saved well, although the backs were a bit shaky. At the interval there was no score.

NO SCORE AT HALF-TIME. Upon resuming, play started very fast and a most enjoyable game was witnessed. The homesters played up desperately, and endeavour- ed to open the scoring, but the visiting defence improved as the game proceeded, and kept them back. Shot after shot was rained on the goal-keeper, but ho gave a superb display of custodianship, his saves ca-LLing forth repeated praise. One save of his from H. O. Jones, and another from Louis Jones, were simply wonderful. At the other 'end R. Owen, although frequently called upon, had no difficulty in clearing his lines, and Roland Williams and Morgan de- fended splendidly: as also did Louis Jones. Try as they would the home forwards could not score, this being in the main due to the fine defence opposed to them, and to the habit of the forwards hanging on too long to the ball, the-reby missing opportunities. 0. B. Edwards, on the home right, swung several centres, which should have been taken advantage of, but they served ro purpo.se. The game ended I I sensationally for within three minutes of time the homest-arr, were attacking fiercely and Herbert, clearing the ball, gave Walter Jones a clear opening. The home backs being well up the field he went away on his own, and had no difficulty in beating Dob Owen, giving him no chance. The finish was quite lively, but the visitors' defence held its own, and the game ended: Carnarvon 1. Holyhcad nil.

THE BAYITES AND THE ROOSTERS DRAW. Colwyn Bay 0 Llanrwst q LIanr.v«,fc paid their first visit of the season to Colwyn Bay on Saturday afternoon in the pre- liminary round of the Welsh Amateur Cup. lolerable weather conditions and the ground in good order conduced a capital game. Refere3 Vincent, of Llandudno lined! up the teams as f<>IioNvs: OOL\V\ N BAY: W. E. Roberta; David Roberts and O. E. Williams; Ned Griffiths, T. McCann, and Dick Rowlands; Southern, Stanley Hughes, E. Phillips, Howell Pritehaj-d, and G. P. Hughes. LLANR WST: R..Tones: A. Carter and W. Trevor Jones; Humphrey Roberts, R. D. Rich- ards, and Francis Williams; W. A. Williams, Howell Roberts, W. T. Jones, A. Richards, and Dennis R. Jones. W. E. Roberts had sufficiently recovered from his injuries a fortnight ago to take his placea in the net, vice Salisbury Roberts, who was unable t oturn out at the last moment. During the pre- liminary passages neither 6ide gained much ad- vantage, though both teams exerted themselves to tho full. At length, Trevor gave a corner at the visitors' end, but) Ned Griffith's flag-kick was of no avail. Llanrwst lnimediately retalia- ted, and a spirited attack called upon Roberts to clear twice in succession at th", expense of cor- ners. A swift drive by A. Richards at close quarters was a foot wide of the mark. The game quickly resolved itself into a typical cup-tie tussle. Organised operations were never thought of, both sides relying upon long kicking and headlong rushes at either goal. Ends were charged at top speed, and there was no lack of incidents. Eventually the Colwyn Bay forwards settled down to a few minutes' solid storming, no fewer than eight shots being directed at the visiting custodian in two or three minutes. Of these the irrepressible Stanley accounted for four, one of his drives electrifying the crowd-a numer- ous one, by the way. Two fine shots off Southern and another off Phillips struck the posts. For- tune and good goalkeeping favoured the visitors, who were obviously masters of the situation. At the other end A. Richards' shooting was again erratic. The backs on both sides were playing sound football, Roberts, on the Colwyn Bay side, giving evidence of remarkable improvement as compared with his display a fortnight ago. Strenuous playing left the score sheet a blank at half-time. Half-time: Colwvn Bay 0, Llanrwst 0. A DRAWN GAME. Much tho same tactics chaa-aoterised the sec- ond moiety. The visitors were tho first to at- tack, and within three minute3 A. Richards beat Robmts at close quarters, the home keeper erring in tackling his man rather than the ball. Led by Stanley Hughes, the home quin- tette then got into action with one of the very few combined movements seen throughout the afternoon, but Southern held on too long, and Trevor cleared in good time. Five minutes later Dennis R. Jones broke away smartly on tho left, and after beating Ned Griffith he threaded his way very prettily, but when on the ppoint of shooting O. E. intervened. Robust forward work again plaaed Colwyn Bay in a good position, and Humphrey Roberts was pulled up for handling within the penalty area. Hum- phrey emphatically protested againsit tho referee's decision, and walked to the line as though leav- ing_ the field, the crowd meanwhile howling their disapproval of his action. However, aiter the intervention of D. R. Jones and another of his colleagues he returned to hij place. Stan- ley Hughes took the penalty kick, his first effort, a terrifio drive, being cleared in masterly fashion by Jones. Before the laitter oouJd get the ball well away, Stan'ey drove again, and onoo more Jones cleared. The third time Hughe3 kicked, and on this occasion Jones was beaten am idst tremendous applause-partly for the goal and partly for the excellent work of the goaiket?per. The visitors rallied splendidly, and the ensuing ten minutes proved one of the liveliest periods of the match, quarter neither sought nor given on either side. Neither custodian was very seriously tested, and the end came with the score one about. a draw well representing the merits of the game. The game will, of course, be replayed on tho Llanrwst venue. Final: Colwyn Bay 1, Llanrwst 1.

NORTH WALES JUNIOR CUP. (FIRST ROUND). HOLYHEAD'S FINE WIN AT BANGOR. CITY'S THIRD STRING MAKE A POOR SHOW.. (By "Recorder.") Holyhead Reserve 4 Bangor Juniors O Some speculation existed in Bangor as to the personnel of the Bangor Juruors, who on Saturday afternoon, on their own sward, met Holyhead Re- serve in the first round of the North Wales Jun- ior Cup. They included several new faces, but there were two or threo oM Reservists in the team, which ij regarded as Bangor's third string. There were three or four now men in tho Holy- head ranks, though several new men were given x trial. The teams were:— HOLYHEAD RESERVE: Newton Williams; Jim Evans and Dick Lewis; H. Williams, T. Hyam, and R. J. Jones; H. Brown, J. Jones [Wallace), Hugh Williams, Thompson, and J. Tones. BANGOR JUNIORS: Tynan; Roger Lewis irwi T. A. Griffith; P. Thafrme, Dargie, and J. )wen; Pattison, Humphreys, H. R. Lewis, Hughes, and Furber. Referee: Mr Tom Jones, Holywell. Play, like the attendance, was very disappoint- ng at the outset. Newton Williams was the first ;ustodian to be tested, and he performed right ivorthily, his lengthy legs being in the thick of he fray. The Holyhead forwards displayed >retty football, in fact a bit too pretty for a cup- ac, and a little more go-aheadedness might have sarned goals. They made a dash for the Ban- or goal when H. Williams managed to get his )oot to the ball, which went flying goalwards. low Tynan kept it out is a mystery, but he got lis foot to it more by accident than design, and LePt it out. LIWAahrois. the home inside right,, ran down the field, but Hyam prompty ran be- hind him, collared the ball, and grassed him, everything pointing to the fact that the Bangor man was a trifle slow. Holyhead minors REALLY DESERVED A GOAL, and it came at last per Johnny Wallace, who spying a gap let fly, and the. ball went swish- ing into tho net, Tyna.n just getting tho tips of his fingers to it. Back agaan came the Holyhead forward line, and in as than a minute H. Williams had the goal safely in the net from close range, but H. Brown de- serves part of the honours for a fine dropping shot. Owen Williams, one of the visiting halves, put in some tell-iag work, eventually dropping in a neat shot, Furber had a ck-an ruu, in the course of which he defeated several opponents finally parting to H. R. Lewis, who was lying in a glaringly off- side position, and his goal was of course dis- allowed. The next item of interest was a. shot by H. Williams, which went sailing over the Bangor goal. H. R. Lewis tried to get through on his own account, but he attempted. too much, Hyam pulling him up very neatly. The play throughout was f-ar from interest- ing. and was scarcely worth watching. Thompson had a pot at the Bangor goal, but he aimed too high. Holyhead's third goal PROVOKED A LOUD LAUGH, and too incident was indeed laughable. Roger Lewis end Tynan were busy arranging who should kick the ball out, when H. Wil- liams ooolly slipped in between them and had the ball in the net in the twinkling of an eye. Hereabouts the Bangor defence roused themselves, and T. A. Griffith tried con- clusions with H. Williams, and came out uppermost. Tynan, who appeared shy of using his hands, tried to kick at the ball which was crossing the goalmouth, but clean missed it. Half-time: Holyhead Reserve, 3; Bangor Juniors, nil. THE SECOND HALF. After looking a bit serious in the first half, the crowd began to laugh at the Bangor Juniors after the interval. The goalkeeping was of a remark- able character to put it mildly. H. R. Lewis at last managed to score for Bangor, but was, of course, offside. Hugh Humphreys, after making a rather poor show, sent in a stiff 'un, which gave Newton Williams a chanco of showing his prowess The Holyhead forwards kept up a violent bom- bardment on the Bacgor goal, and twicc in suc- cession the ball struck the pott and bounced out again. Gifts galore were made to the Holyhead forwards, but oh! the shooting. Tynan ran out of goal, someone robbed him, and passed to Thompson, who, with the goal gaping at him, struck the post. Fred Dargio was the only de- fender in the home team to make anything like a show, and he was more than a match for Brown. At last fTTo tension wa.s relieved, and H. R. Lewis forced a ojrre*, but nothing trans- pired. J. Jones took the ball off T. A. Griffiths' toes when he had heaps of time to clear, and down the field he galloped onty to be checked by Dargie. Finding the home forwards were quite unable to score, one of the Holyhead full backs nearly obliged, 'the crowd laughed hugely at the efforts of «.00 hom" players, especially when H. R. Lewis, the hom> pivot, IN DESPAIR TRIED TO FISI the bait through the Holyhead goal, :);.<) fhon Tynan tried to kick out, but misled hre. Lewis tripped an opponent in the pGualty ü reu. and Hugh Williams took the shot, Tynan saving There was some infringement, however, and thij., time Brown book the kick and scored. Final: Holyhead 4, Bangor nil.

NOTES. (By "Nemo.") Bangor v. Holyhead are old rivals, but the men representing both teama in Saturday's match were for the most part strange to tihe meagre crowd wh'.oh lined the ropes. The only two players in the Bangor eleven who possessed any reputation at all were Fred Dargie and T. A. Griffith, who, two seasons ago, played with the Reserves. • One noticed in the Holyhead team Hugh Brown, Jchn Jones, and Hugh Williams, who have previously appeared at Bangor with tho Holyhead League team. The display of both teams at the outset was of a poor type, long kicking and wretched passing being indulged in by both elevens. 0 The play of the visitors whilst not anything to boast about was ccrtainly superior to that of the ihomcsters. This may be accounted for per- hap.se by the fact that the Bangor men had never before been playing together. The visitors maintained pressure for a consider- able time, and it came as no surprise when II. W iiJiams boa.t Tynan, after the la.tter had some- what luckily diverted a chanced shot by John Jones. # « It was noticed that Tynan was by no means comfortable in goal, but he could not be blamed for the second goal by John Jones, which was put through at cloce quarters through a ruck of players. • • • ■ Holyhead's second goal wa.3 immediaitelv fol- lowed by a third-a gift goal, resulting from a misunderstanding between Tynan and the backs, Hugh Williams taking advantage of the open- ing, and gently netting. » Holyhead's lead of three clear goals at the in- terval was fully deserved; indeed, had they availed themselves of tho many opportunities afforded them this lead would have been material ly increased, ♦ » Bangor played with more vigour after the in- terval, and for some time the Holyhead goal was subjected to some pressure. Furber was always prominent. An amusing incident occurred at this period. During an individual run by Hugh Williams, Roger Lews met him and frustrated his effort, but Tynan, who had emerged from goal, made a hash of it, with the result that Williams was left with an open goal, but to the amusement of the crowd bo sent ridiculously wide. < < Holyhead were having the better of the game, and were doing everything but scoring. Time after time ideal openings were presented to the inside men, but the ball was either chargied down or oa.me in contact with the bar. Tynan, al- though not by any means safe in goal, resorte-d to the practice of continually running out, and more often than not missed his kiok.

THE 'VARSITY OVERCOME THE SWIFTS. 'Varsity 3 j Glasinfryn Swifts 1 A very exciting* game took place on Saturday afternoon, when the 'Varsity met Glasinfryn on the Ffriddoedd Field, Bangor. Mr Percy, Llandudno, lined up the respective teams as followi; UNIVERSITY COLLEGE: Daa Thomas; H. L. Brock, C. H. Jones; H. Ll. Williams, C. A. Cooil, Fritz Davies; C. F. Hill; R. C. Davies; Frank Wright, T. J. Griffiths. W. G. Jones. GLASINFRYN SWIFTS: T. Davies; J. P. Jones and Jack Roberts; G. Whitehead, Charlie Pierce, and Edwin Davies; W. D. Thomas, H. Hughes, D. P. Hughes, R. T. Williams, and W. Thomas. The homesters winning the toes decided to play up the slope. After an interval of midfteld play too 'Varsity began to press. The Swifts were now on the defensive, T. Davies having to handle a swift shot from R. C. Davies. AJ- most immediately afterwards Franik Wright just mossed the billet. The Swifts now woke up, and were on their mottle. Charles Pierce became prominent, sending the ball past Dan. Thomas, and into the net. This goal was disallowed on aooount of one of the Glasinfryn men being off- side. The visitors were now straining every muscle, but they could not beat the 'Varsity backs, who were evidently in fine form. Robin Thomas tried a raking shot, but misjudged, hitting the uprights. The 'Varsity began to retaliate, and Fritz. Davies, receiving, passed the ball to W.G., who centred, and Frank Wright headed over the crossbar. Riill then began to octme into view, but J. P. Jones mm too £ uick for hip, aeodwg the btaJl oa -s;t.. each occasion well down the field.. Robin again tried his luck, but Brock was all there, and the 'Varsity not long afterwards started pressing. "W.G." finding himself in an awkward position, let fly, and Wright, put- ting his head to the ball, scored the first foal for the 'Varsity, which was greeted with tremendous cheers by the 'Varsity con- tingent. The Swifts now asserted them-<e!lveif,aixl White- head started going, but he was soon pulled up by "H.L. tho latter sending tli2 ball well up the field. A word must be- said about C. H. Jones, whose kicking was a feature of the game. Tho next incident of interest was a run down by tiho Swifts, and Robin, finding himself in a good position, sent in a good shot, but D. Tho- mas saved. Sandy, however, rushed up and netted the ball, but the whistle had gone for offside. A corner was awarded the Swifts, but the leather was sent bahind. Thon the 'Varsity pressed, and Roberts, missing his kick, let in Wright, who scored. Half-time: 'Varsity 2, Glasinfryn Swifts 0. Upon resuming, 'Varsity were the aggressors, and Cooil just missed tho billet. Glasinfryn started going, and bub for the smart defence of C. II. Jones and Brock the Swifts would have scored. After a keen struggle in the 'Varsity goalmouth, Charlie Pierce had hard lines, his shot just skimming the crossbar. Wright now had a chance, but T. Davies brought off a fino save. The game stopped owing to an injury to Pierce, but he soon recovered. He shortly afterwards hit the upright with a very fast shot. Fritz Davies and Hugnes came to loggerheadfl, and Mr Percy had to order both off the field. A corner was awarded tho Swifts, but W. Tho- mas sent the ball behind. A penalty was also awarded Glasinfryn through "C. H." handling the ball, and "Sandy" scored. From the centre the 'Varsity forwards rushed down, and Hill was loudly cheered for some clever footwork and shortly afterwads the same individual scored the third goal. Final: 'Varsity 3, Glasinfryn 1.

NOTES. It was evident from the commencement that the Swifts were the weaker team. Th-ey were, however, never despondent, but time after time swept down the field, carry- ing all before them. < < The weakness of the visitors was, we sup- pose, inevitable but the number of penalties against them was by no means so. It would be invidious to single out in- dividuals from a team which played so united- ly as the 'Varsity. The hacks, however, especially C. H. Jones, were exceptionally good. It The way in which Jones politely relieved his opponents of the ball, and despatched it down the field was a treat to watch. Fm, nk Wright and his forwards worked well. Both the goalkeepers were severely tested, Dan, Thomas bearing tho palm. • • En passani, v,. ii-en will spectators learn that re- marks about referees, who generally understand the game bettor than they, are quite superfluous. ■»* It seems also that certain players must be re- minded that they are playing football and not boxing!

THE PENQUINS DEFEATED ON THEIR OWN GROUND. SPECTATORS AND PLAYERS INDULGE IN FREE FIGHT. Barmouth 2 Pwllheli O These teams met on Saturday in a Junior Cup fixture at Pwllheli. The game was in charge of Mr Caleb Thomas, Bangor, the players being: PWLLHELI: A. Hughcs; Bob Ellis, R. Hughes; Bob Morgan, R. H. White, Bob Jones; E. Hughes, Ilardcaiitle, J. H. Roberts, J. White and T. Williams. BARMOUTH: Whitehead, E. Price, Richards; J. Owen, J. Lloyd, E. O. Roberts; R. 0. Wil- liams, Llcw. Davies, Hughes, and J. Humphreys. The Barmouth team had perforce to nxcxtOT to Pwllheli and baok. From tho outset it was clear that there was war in the air, and1 that every inch of ground would bo attacked' cr defended. The Penquina opened with an attack, and Hardoa^rtie, Evan Hughes and Roberts were soon busy. Whitehead was very lively in goal, and covered allOt cf space by his movements. Llew Davies mado for the goal in fine stylo. (ob Jones and Bob Ellis tried to check him, but Jill was too oiever for them, and Lilew got in. Whilst the homesters individually played well, they lacked cohesion and co-operation, with the result that much perspiration and eiuyy was usetlessly spent. T. Williams, a nevv .dt winger, and his partner, Evan Hughes, on ttie right, also a new winger, justified their selec- ttion, and they played most plucskily and dog^xlly. J. 11. Roberts, as tho Pertq.uiiM' pivot, was ex. oolitent. Whenever he had the cha-noo to get in he aihvays utili-c-d, it. The two Whites I.i.(-d with judgment, and mado some very fine rushes for goal. A movement by the visitors was cut shoIit by Bob Morgan, 'who kicked out ;0 save. Then, Evan Hughes, atEtor grappling witii the visitors' forwards, passed to Hardoasftle, and he, struggling aga^indt odds nearly got his rewind Llew. Davies, one of the MOST DARING PLAYERS on tho field, rushed for the home goal, aided hy R. O. Wiiliams, Griffith and J. Humphreys. There was only Bctb Ellis and An tie betYt en them and the net. Before the ball got to the austodi.an Bob Ellis made a magnificent save, and was vociferously cheered. A tJu-ow 'n v -.5 nearly converted irito a goal' by the uhiqiiVAts Uøw Davies. A petmaj/ty was recorded rgain; the Penquins, and Uew Davies was g Y'.7D the free kick. He sentt the sphere straight to the custodian, who stoppe.d i't, and se-nt t oil; of danger. AN EXCITING SCENE. ImnMdiatelyt after this, an exciting scene was witnessed. Several spectators and playors were seen indulging in a free fight within the lines, and Police Constable Thomas was called upon to separate the combatants. The refere3 order- ed Bob Ellis off the field, thus adding another lively incident to the soeno. A discussion then ensued as to whether tho game should be con- tinued or not. The visitors threatened to leave the field, but after consultation, however, they resumed play. Owing to the absence of Bob Ellis in tho home defenoo that part of the work was considerably weakened. Bob Ellis was escorted to the town by a crowd of his many admirers. The PenqiiinB were now wtiihomi their boot piayer. The game from this to tiho oloso of tihe first-half wtas overclouded by tihe unhappy incident. Tho viaitora' focrwaarda be- came toast aggressive, and Bob Jones was often tested. Llew While, alert and clever, played well; whilst J. Humphreys, the visitors' left winger, was fleet of foot and aooursufae. Haird- csLatle, by nsait <Jod(g,»3 and pretty passes, made occasional visits to the Barmourth territory. But Whitehead would not budge an inch from his position, and Price and Richards knew their grouand, whilst How Daviei, the moment he possessed the leather, made tracks for the home fort. The first half closed wilth the score at:— Barmouth, 1; Pwllheli, 0. SECOND HALF. The second half opened' very much against the Perujuins, who felt the loos o.f Bob F.1.1 U severely. The Barmouth forward lin- mow this well, and they used all thoir ingemuuy to overcome the ieferooe. Just now Rowley Hughes showed1 the ?ood stuff he is made of, and often aheakedj ugly rushes made by the visitors. Llew Davies was jnmercritful in hie attacks, and the visitors got mother point. T. Williams revealed the very lioe strategic moves, and Bob Jones agaiin. played N-itth his wooted ability. Llenv Davies was fre. jueatly more than a maitah to the Penquins' 'orward line, and they could not keep him away :r,om their goal territory. Rowley Hughes Jassed the ball to midfiokt, when HardoastJo got t, and pushed through four opponents by sheer >ieoe of cleverness. But Llew Davies was not poing to be ourtwa&ted, he dropped on the ball, tnid senfb it almccft to ihe Pemqufins' nest. The loirvedbens got awkwardly coqped up in a nwdfcy soroer. Rowley Hughes,. R. H. White and Bob ronea themselves out, and the next moment J. 1. Rdberts, after a tussle with the Barmouth Tds, shot for goal. The ball just wont over he oross-bar. The play was very strenuous in- bed. the Peuqwoa gooosioaai^y Attain aeor the B&rni-outh gcabhnoutli, and &he vimiors often pSacfljiig Artie in jeopardy. E. O. Roberts and J. Griffith nearly oorxyuored the home defence once or twice, and Hardoastle and Llew White noarly spelt ditto in regard to the visatwu- de- fence. Tho ball wandered far and near until the whestuo wont, when hostilities ceased with the sooro at:— Final: Barmouth, 2; Pwllheli, 0.

LLANDUDNO RESERVE v COLWYN BAY CELTS. Llandudno Reserve 7 Colwyn Bay Celts O At Llandudno, on Saturday, in dull weather, before a fair crowd of spectators, the above teams met in the first round of tiho Junior Cup. Mr Williams, of Degauwy, lined up the teams as follows. LLANDUDNO RESERVE: R. Lunt; R. T. Wihiaans and J. H. Davies; H. Davies, G. Da- vies (capt.), and W. Owen; W. F. Shipley, J. M. Davies, R.

Jones, and W. Jones. At the 'outset George Davies was conspicuous l'yu with good work. The Celts' left wing got away, and Bob Lunt was called upon to save. At this stage Llandudno were playing better football, and R. T. Williams shot hard from a centre by Meredith, Frarjk Roberts almost scoring. The latter piayer drove forward, but the ball was sent out of play by Meredith. Llandudno's left wing sot away again, and J. II. Davies was re- sponsible for some good work. J. M. Davies succeeded in robbing the goalie, and scored a grand goal. Meredith again teated the custod- ian, who saved wall. Shipley's passing was very neat, and from ono of his centres Frank Ro- berts ehot into the custodian's hands. Hands against Llandudno was taken by W. Lunt, but R. Lunt effected a fine save. The Celts took the play on the right, but J. II. Davies effec- tively intervened. The Cle-its, centre-forward made things hum round Llandudno's defence, and E. R. Jones shot wide of the post. Meredith secured, and forced a comer, which was well placed. J. M. Davies headed for goal, but the custodian tipped the leather over the bar. Two more corners wero awarded, and tho ball was sent out of play. Meredith centred accurately, but the ball flashed past the post. A foul against Frank Roberts brought relief to tho visitors, but this was only of temporary duration. The home left moved down, and R. Roberts shot hard, the Celts' custodian effecting a fine clearance. An appeal for hands against W. Jones was refused. Frank Roberts was injured, but he soon recovered and ere long was in a prominent position. Half-time: Llandudno 4, Colwyn Bay Celts nil. Llandudno, after the interval, pressed con- tinuously, but failed to find the net for a time. At last Frank Roberts completed the hat trick. The Celts, through W. Jones, had a splendid chance, which was mulled after good work. R. Roberts centred well, from which F. Roberts scored. J. M. Davies stopped, an attack by F. Roberts, who receivod a splendid pass from W. Owen. Shipley ran down and centred, when a scramble took place before the Celts' goal, and the leather was sent to oorner. W. Owen head- ed into goal from a perfectly placed corner kick by Meredith. Offside again spoilt gocd play by the homesters, and W. Jones got away on the Celt8' left, R. C. Williams, however, proving to bo a hard nut to crack. The Celts' goalie made a splendid. gave off R. Roberts, and the ended with Llandudno victors by 7-0. Final: Llandudno 7, Colwyn Bay Celts 0."

EXIT LLANFAIRFECHAN. Penmaenmawr 4 I Uanfairfechan 2 I This game was played at Penmaenmawr on Saturday before a good crowd. Teams:— PEiVMLAENMAW R: J. Jones; W. E. Hughes and 11. Jones; T. Jones, Caleb Wil- liams, and Dob Brown; J. W. Lunt, LI. Roberts, R. Morris, R. T. Jones, and C. Sloane. LLANFAIRFECHAN: Manlcy; M. Griffith and J. E. Morgan; Dick Jones, W. J. Jones, and Will Jones; G. O. Jones, T. J. Williams, Tom Atherton (capt..), David Hughes, and Llew. Morris. Referee: Mr E. Lloyd Williams. Llanfairfeehan won tho toss, and choose to play against the wind. Two corners conceded to Pen- maenmawr availed them nothing. Within fifteen minutes of the start Morris scored for Penmaen- mawr. Half-time: Penmacnmawr 1, Llanfairfeehan 0. Soon after restart ooati put the hon.titers further ahead with a good goal. Nothing daunted, however, Llanfairfeehan pressed hard, and Atherton had the satisfaction of opening tho scoring for tho -visitors. Both teams exhibi- ted good football, and tho game was played in good spirit, by both.sides. From an advantageous position Morris netted tho third goal for the homesters, and ten minutes from the finish Llew Roberts added another. These reverses did not, however, discourage the visitors, who kept on troubling the home defence for some minutes. Just before time T. J. Williams scored for Llan- fairfechan. Final: Pcnmaenmawr 4, Llanfairfeehan 2.

NOTES. It was a loose game and neither team seemed to be able to show to any greatl advantage. At the beginning of the game the homesters seemed to bo all over the ''Little 'Uns" and had it not been. for Atherton and W. J. Jones, Llanfair would have fared badly though Griffiths and Morgan defended well at timet. Comparing the teams, the Llanfair forwards were ahead of the homesters, but the Llanfair dlefenco was inferior. However, on the whole, as a spectator remarked, "Pen. were the be-st tesum." » # Caleb worked very well ag'ain, and so did the backs. There was a change 3.mon, the forwards this week. Archie Jones and Llew. Roberts changed places and on the whole they worked well. Morris was more like himself than last Saturday week. » » onla It ought to be remarked that the game was a clean one, and there were very few fouls. In fact, the referee only blew his whistle twelve times (apart from goal-kicks) during the match. Well doito, boys, it was a good win.

LLANDUDNO JUNCTION RESERVE v. BETTWSYCOED. Llandudno Junction Reserve 1 I Bettwsycoed 1 | Tho above teams met in the first round of the North Wales Junior Cup on tho Woodlands ground', Llandudno Junction on Saturday.

Jones, Jim Owens, Alun Williams, Stephen Hughes, and GiUet. The first incident of note was an attack on the Junction goal, the ball being whipped across from the Bettwsycocd left, and the inside right rushed in and missed a fine goal. Then a poor clearance by the home goalkeeper, from a long shot by Salisbury Roberts, nearly cost his side a goal, the Bettwsyooed inside right shooting a few inches past the upright. The Junctionites pressed hard on the Bettwsyooed defence, but could not find the net. The game was a typical cup-tie, kick and rush football being indulged in by the Junction, but when they ap- proached Bettws goal they seemed to take to the passing game as a result of which several golden opportunities to open the score were missed. At the interval both teams presented a clean sheet. Half-time: — Junction nil, Bettwsycoed. nil. Bettwsyoood opened the scoring soon after half-time. There was a scramble in the Junc- tion goalmouth, and W. Jones, the visiting out- side right, rushed! up and found the net. How- ever, the locals were not long in equalising. J. R. Owen sooring) from a penalty kick. The game was exciting, and at times was amusing to watch. Cordorey saved a splendid long shot from a Bettws man, and then the Bettws goal was threatened in turn. The Junction pressed' hard in the latter stages of the game, but the visiting defence was equal to tihe oocasion. Final: Llanadudao Junction 1, Bettwsyooed L
