NEWPORT'S'OFF DAY -
NEWPORT'S'OFF DAY HARD GAME AGAINST BRISTOL I Vile Drops a Goal and Wins the Match. VISITING FORWARDS RE- SOURCEFUL. Newport bad to take the field against Bristol to-day with a rather weakened pack of forwards. Four of the eisrht selected were unable for various reasons to turn out, viz., Beddoe Thomas, Ernie Jenkins, Ha.rry Uzzle. and P. Oaldriek. Their places were takeu by Dr. Smyth (who adc a welcome re- appearance after several weeks' absence, due to sickness), Corporal Murphy (from the second team), C. A. Evatt, a regular reserve, and J. E. C. Partridge. The playing arena was on Thursday covered with about a dozen tons of straw to prevent the frost which was then prevailing penetrating to the turf to such an extent as to render it unfit for play to-day, and perhaps also next Thursday, the day selected for the county engugejnent between Glamorgan and Monmouth The straw was taken off this morning-, and then the heavy rain made the ground very unpleasant for play.

There were a few changes in the Bristol I team. Spoors, one of the centres, was away playing in the English trial match. His pla.ce was taken by Ship, who usually plays full- back for the second team. There were two changes in the forwards, Moore and Buguat being re-placed by H. Knott and M. Myall. Bryant. who was first included. ;8 an e." Newport first and second team ntan. When the teams fielded at 2.45 rain was still falling heavily, and the attendance, was affected, there being present only a. coupie of thousand. Directly after the kick-off New- port bes-an to preae. rutd after centre punt by Plum.mer one of the forwards got off-side and enabled Bristol to get back to mid-field, but the slush made the field almost unplay. able. fortunately, ?ere was not a-^ °f J*lnf to aggravate the boastline?. Baker got a pa?from Vile on the vi?t.o? 2^ arid wemt for the line, but it was found that he had put one of his feet in touch, an dw ^called back. The ball was thrown out loo^ely ?om the crum on the Bristol 25 a.nd? It rolled away from Martin and Plummer, ?HamW the fast left wing of the Bristol team dashed up and got ,(1, flying kick and sent it to the home 25. Here, in the course of some loose scrambling work, the leather was kicked over the line, and Stanley W llliame touched down. THE VISITORS ATTACK. Bristol continued to press in the 'home half for a time. Ship, playing left centre, dashed on and loked all over a scorer, but he fell in the mud. Some of the men had by this time become a lost unrecognisable. The Bristol third line, cobining well, deve- loped a pretty atack on the Newport line by a series of neat, accurate passe* on the left. Harris, who was the last recipient, got within a couple of yards to the bome line before he was etopped. Newport was hard Pressed for a minute, but the forwards, headed by Waller, struggled out with a grest burnt, and ehowed some pretty short phases. When the teams had got to mid-Aeld Frist. one of the Bristol forwards, was hurt, and had to be carried out. Burt, the home left cntre, at? limped off for & time but returned soon. Bristol were aezolnrnc?imtlng theme&Ivp? much better to the mud than 'Nrt. and they seemed to be keener than t? hoestmeM. Waller wM doingsome very efftive work in the open, but tn« m?t part the Bristoliane (were a.,??- ?itB their feet.

Frost ?wre?ned'? the attack, playing a reaHy  ?e at MI back for the VMitoM, a?S kicked with ?re?t e?t into touch. Newport continued to b?ardpr?d until B??tin a uæful kick. whih 8nt the ball rolling into touch in mid-SeId?. Bn,? beating ewport all along again, got into the Newport 25. Newport were now playing a. man short, Birt having to go out again, and Dr. Smythe went out to tnree-quarer. Stanley WilHsnns at length fovild touch ilea the visitors' 25. Here Brstol were penaleeq. Vile took a shot for goal which went wicfs. Just before half-time Birt resumed. iltiIí Newport were never able to make any real headway. Frost, one of the Bristol forwards, begoan a dribble at half-way, and kept it up 1-ill within a few yards of the home line. Here the forwards had the best of the struggle for possession, but the pressure wac ultimately relieved by a good punt on •the part of Martin to half-way. Half-time score: G. T. 1-TA. Newport.    Bristot. -0 0 u After the interval. Percy Davies, the Eng- lish international Reserve. re-stai-ted for Bristol, and Newport were pressed.

It was one of New- fcort's off-days with a vengeance. t'p to shortly before the interval there w«r« a good many people shivering in the -ket rain fr fear that the record would So before Christmas, and that to an English team Newpor* for a, 1.0n, time could do nothinir right. The ball, it is true, wps very wet and gr,basv It was both difficult to handle and tek, but comek-w Bristol managed to field ??d kick at will, and, more?or. their for- wards plaYM a more resourceful game with ?!- f,,t than Newport.

The Pontypool forwards rushed to the visitors' line, a bril- liant save being effected by Haley. The visitors readbcd the Pan<typool line, but the ball could not be held. Jim Evans cleared witih a dribble. Jack Wetter made a splendid effort to drop a goal, but the ball just went wide. Pontypool attacked, and Young con- ceded a minor. Pontypoolrece,ived tihe ball f!'om several successive scrums, ait-I a drop at goal by Prosser was charged down. Pin were twice penalised for feet-up, and another attempt by Preiser to drop a goal proved futile. Haley was again called OIl to defend and an attempt by Morris Williams to drop a goal from a irarli failed. Pomtyipool con- tinued to hold the advantage, and a brilliant run by Thomas ended in a transfer to Lloyd who wan tackled just outsi&e. From the ending scruim Haley was tackled in posses- si on, but pontypool failed to score. In a scramble Trtlinp, of Pill, snertarined a rather sevre kick on the ankle, and had to be car- ried off, but the injury was found not to be very serious. Half-time score: G. T. Pts.

"Pontypool were penalised for obstruction in front of their own posts, but, although the referee allowed a second kick, Haley failed to goal. Midfteld play ensued until 'the call of time. ir inal: G.

THE,'VARSITY MATCH WON BY THE DARK BLUESI ..1 Oxford Forward's Collar-bone I' Fractured The thirty-seventh match between these I fa.mous teams took place at Queen s Club to- day, in dull, damp weather. Pyman, hurt on Saturday last, "e tired for llolloway, trie Old BLue. Oxford has won fifteen times, Cam- bridge twelve, and nine games have been I drawn. There were 12,000 spectators when Purvis kicked off for Cambridge. Martin and Pou.ton at once put Oxford on the attach, and after scrimmaging close to the Cambridge corner flag a clever three-quarters' movement ended in Poulton dashing round behind the posts I with a. try, which Cunningham converted, five' minutes from the start. Caxnondge played up, and Boyd isent Ashcroft a.w ay with I a fine run, which took play close to the Oxford line. Farr relieved with a good kick. Plaved settled again near the Cambridge line and. after several three-quarter moves, fine passing saw Poulton in with another try. rather wide out, Cunningbam failing to convert. This try came after iourteen minutes' play. Tarr had ko leave the fielu injured, and Turner was forced to follow just afterwards. Oxford, though now play- ing: only six forwards, had a fair share of the game, and bright passing let Martin in, Cunningham failingt o convert. Oxford still pressed, and Atkinson was forced to touch down. Cambridge rallied, and their forwards worked play to the Oxford end. Turner returned alter thirteen minutes' absence, but no sooner had he arrived than Purvis scrambled over at the corner for Cambridge, Holloway failing to c-onvert. Poultcii scored ancther grand try I after nice pacing, Cunningham missing the place kick. Half-time soore G. T. Pts.

Ten minutes after the resumption, Poulton dashed round with yet a,not,her try from fine passing, Gunningiiam converting. After a good run by Buchan, Martin got in with an I unconverted try at the corner. Oxford now led by 22 points to 3, and, though a men short in the fe-rum, were getting the ball, while their half-backs and three-quarters were combining with delightful accuracy. From Poxiltonis cross kick, which Holloway fumbled, Martin scored easily, and Lagden converted. Cambridge pressed. Oxford re- turned, and Poulton ran ill, Lagden improv- ing. Cambridge attacked strongly, but the Oxford defence was much too strong, Gilray making a fine collar of Jones. Jw,t after- wards Gotley was damaged. Oxford bad made a record score up to now. Marly added a further try, which Lagden did not improved. Cambridge could do noth- ing right. Atkinson was poor at fuM-baek.

GIou- cester were better in the forwards, but their three-quarters were very poor. The slippery nature of the ball accounted for this. Glou- cester again got away, and Smith got over, but he was called back for a forward pass Gloucester had the best of matters till Lewis cleared with a fine kick to touch, when Lyd- ne-y tried hard to add to their lead.

CARDIFF'S INSIDE HALF I
CARDIFF'S INSIDE HALF I To the Editor of the "FootbaiU Express." Sir,—Referring to the Cardiff inside half, I really t-hink the match committee have acted wisely in sticking to W. L. Morgan. It is true that Morgan has been playing poorly lately, but I think it is best to play him in e, few matches, and if be continues to play poor he should be dropped in favour of Clem. Ixwis. It is a great poity Morgan is not in form this season, as last season he almost got his cap. I think the following is the best Welsh team:—Back, J. Bancroft (Swansea); three-quarter backs, J. L. William* (Cardiff), W. J. Trew (Swansea), J. P. Jones (Newport), and R. A. Gibbs (Cardiff); half-backs, T. H. Vile (Newport) a.nd Percy Bush (Cawiiff); for- 1wards, Ivor Morgan, P. D. Waller, E. Thomas, O. M. Pritchard, J. Pugsley, Tom Evans, J. Weibb, and Rees Thomas.—I am, &o., SUPPORTER OF CARDIFF (Formerly of Bridgend, now of Ammanford).

BRISTOL NOMADSv NEWPORT II…
BRISTOL NOMADSv NEWPORT II I Owing to fhe soddened state of th eground, there was some doubt \vlii>tlier this match could be played at Bristol to-day. A late start was made, it bemg decided that play should be only twenty minutes each way. Teams :— Bristol Nomads: Back, Fry; three-quarter backs, rvine, Alderwick, E. Boddie. and Carey; half-backs, Goodman anld Feltham; If,or,wai-.ds Shatling, Allen, Tiensken, Suller, Edwards, Gibaud, Jenkins, and Thomas. Newport Seconds: Back, Wreford; three- quarter backs, Evans, Rowland, and Perry; half-backs, Leeth and Dunn; forwards Hews, Pritchard, Bell, Hubert, Jenkins, Fenwick, Tower, and Jones. Goodman set the line going again with a pretty paiss, and Carey followed up well, but Newport -were soon sent back. The visitors, however, adapted themselves to the conditions better than Bristol. Irvine saved when the Newport three-quarter* were dan- gerous. Again Fry was called OIl and saved the situation when Newport, were close on the line with a good touch-finder. Though they went very near several times, Newport could not get over. Half-time score: G. T. p'ts.

Newport speedily showed marked superiority, and. following clever passing, a three-quarter movement ended in Evans scor- ing, and the try was converted with a good kick. From the »«esumption the visitors again pressed hard, and they were soon all over Bristol s weaiened side. A mark was made in front of the home goal, and Newport appeared certain to mcreatse their lead, but the hick failed somewhat unexpeoteirly. The homesters several times cleared their line well. Bristol then tried to attack with a strong forward rush, ttut the players oould not long hold their ground. The closing stages sa.w a ding-dong struggle, Bristol hold- ing out creditably, though Newport re clearly the more clover side. The close came, however, witlhout further score. Final score: G. T.

NORTHERN UNION I EBBW VALE V HUN8LET I This Northern Union fixture was played at Ebbw Vale this afternoon in wretched weather. Ebbw Vale, being suooessful in get- ting the transfer of Bowen and Thomas, turned out these burly forwardssfor the first time. Hunslet were without their interna- tional, Batten, but otherwise were at full strength. Teams:— Ebbw Vale: Back, Davies; three-quarter backs, Higgins, Smith, Jenkins, and Llew- elyn; haif-baoks, Harvey and Thomas; for- wards, Foley, Edmunds, Hitchiijs, Thomas, Bowen, and Williams. Hunslet: Back, Plaice; three-quarter backs, Farran, Parkington, Quinn, and Jenkinaon; half-backs, Smith and Bre-ar; forwards. Brooks, Jonkes, Fowler, S'maiiies, Randle, and Pillpeteon. Referee, Mr. Robinson. Leeds. Ebbw Vale started down the ground in the face of gushing wind and drizzling rain. Far- r;4t. mulled th^ ball, and Edmunds, taking advantage, got to the visitors' line. From the lirst scrum Edmunds and Harvey got the ball cut to Jenkins, who put in a nice kick to the Hunslet quarter, but Plaice relieved, and Llewelyn got possession, and kicked high, tackling jenkinson before he could return. The home forwards, headed by Foley, brushed the defend aside, and a knock-on alone pre- vented a score. Llewelyn had a pass on the wins from Smith, but failed to get clear, when a yard would have enabled him to score. The Hunslet forwards tried to rush, but were kept to the 25. Hunslet got to work, and pretty play by Qninn and Jenkinson saw the latter skirting the touth-line in dangerous fashion. A pass to the centre was forward, and a oertain chance lost. Ebbw Vale again got 011 the attack, the ball being sent out from Harvey to Smith. The latter trans- ferred to Higgins, who was unfortunately Nout of position. Llewelyn made a bad mull of a pass from Smith, which he failed to gather, and Jenkinson snapped up the I leather, passed several opponents, a.nd scored l behind the posts. Farrar failed with the kick. The re-start did net bring the Valians much relief, and they had to resort to defen- sive actios. The home tackling was not so brisk as usual, and it was lucky for them did not score. Smith in a nice return, and Higgins gained possession and kicked with commendable judgment. It was the general opinion that Elbbw Vale did not de-M've to be in the minority at the interval, Ebbw Vale ae?tins to th? Hunslett line. Thomas obtained and kicked. Bowen upset the Hunslet back, and Llewelyn, taking advantage of the opportunity, picked up smartly and ran over before the Hunslet man oould recover. Jenkins failed with the place. With the points equal, excitement was in- tense. The Vaiians made the pace hot, and Higgins beat several men with a fine cork- screw run before passing to Williams. The pass was, however, forward, and another of the many chances was lost. Ilarvey made a great bid for a try on the wing, but found his progress barred. The home forwards were continually on the aggressive, but were pulled up for some faaili or other. Harvey got a pass, a-id. af,e,, threading his way through the whole of the Hunslet team, gave up at the right moment to Edmunds, who raced over behind the posts. Jenkins converted. Kern play in mid-way so far as scrimmaging work was concerned was in favour of the visitors, and Parkinson looked like getting over, but Davies brought him down near the line. score: u\ T. P'ts.

Ebbw Vale was now superior, and Bowen got a beautitiul •chance. Running well, he sent out to Foley. The latter missed the ball when there was a certain try ahead. A free-kick brought Hunslet no relief. Ebbw Vale oozitij,?u to press, and &houk! have &cored on several occasions.

PO NT YPOOL. !
PO NT YPOOL. Pontypool secured a substantial win over Bridgwater Albion last Saturday, the visitor* I being defeated by 10 points to 3, in spite of the fact that they were first to open the scoring1 account. :-A pleasing feature of the game was the improved display of the Pontypool three- quarter line, who combined effectively, passed with accuracy a,nd preoision, kicked with judgment, and defended resolutely. The inclusion of Tom Browning in the centre had the effect of imparting a feeling of con- fidence to the other members of the line, and, despite the fact that he has been kept out of the field for a month in eODsequenoe I of the unnecessary delay in getting his j transfer from Crurnlin, he showed that. he had kept himself fit and that he had lost none of his brilliance. An excellent defeiJOe was set up by the' visitors, and there ie no denying the fact that they fully deserved their score on the general run of the play. Their method of defence was worthy of any Welsh te&m, and when once the ball went out to the Pontypool backs their threes spread OUT quickly and MADE no MISTAKE about GOING for THE man WITH, the ball.

And what v.ou-.d have been a record crowd was, in consequence, considerably reduced. 1'here was a change in the itoerthyr team, CihurcMLl re.

Tne unfavourable climatic conditions aid not prevent a large crowd a.-semoimg, the visitors being supported bya goodly number .cf enthusiasts. The teams fielded as foiiow*. there being no less than eight men hailing from the Wrexham district in tne Ton side: Merthyr: Goal, Daw; hacks, h-ipmaii and Wight-man; half-backs, Kelly, Llewellyn, and Chart hill; forwards, Pemberton, Leonard, D.

Ton were next in evidence, but Wightma-n averted disaster. A foul was given against Merthyr near goal, but the ball was put over, and the locals returned to the atack. Diewellyn passed to Whittaker, who put in a, capital shot, which was luckily saved. Very pretty passing by the home front string ended in Whittaker scoring an excellent goal for Merthyr. From the re- start the homesters got close in, but Ton retaliated, the final shot going wide. Play became very even, but the visitors' atacks lacked finish, the heavy state of the bail interfering with the game. Llewellyn and Kelly were too good for the Ton fci-wardst Daw had a warm shot to stop, which he did in capital style. Russell was penalised for a foul against Whittaker, but the "free" was not productive. The next moment Witrhtman f-ouled within the penalty area, and the visitors scored from the kick. Faiils were tfrequsnt throughout thfe encounter, both side-S playing a vigorous game. Pemberton made a great run and centred, Peroivai having great difficulty in parting with the ball. D. W.

Kelly passed out to Fisher, who made a grand attempt to score, his shot g-oiniz just over. A t'oul to the visitors brought no advantage, and Whittaker put in good sprint, and gave Percival a fine handful, which he saved with difficulty. The local halws were doing good service, and from a struggle clotse to the Ton goal niouth, Fisher missed by a few inches. The homesters were having most of the play, the Rhondda men being quite outcdaseed, their long passing not being at all effective. CLEAN THROUGH THE NET. The Merthyr men made another raid into the Ton territory, where Whittaker was applauded for pretty playing. Still keeping up the pressure, the home forwards engaged in a. ndco movement, and Whittaker scored the third goal with a terrific shot., which went through the net. Res-irm<ing\ Ton started in promising style. but H riig'litman And. Ohø..pma.n were always 1 in attendance. The h01De-terf> got down by piretty play, but offside taotics spoiled a fine chance.
