It 1186 been said of tli* Soots that they I believe, and rightly too, that; football is a rugged sport in which robustness a I prominent part. Judging from tne dis- play of the WeUh Schoolboys against toe I chosen of Scotland's yo auger tfcne#ition At. Swansea on Saturday, the lads of the Principality do not subscribe to this yiew. This was one of the reasons for tØ visi- tors' juc:itorMu& victory. Alter the match I "Led one of the Wet?:t ?dciaLs i? the t&?tu tJi?t took the 6?M Wag the bPst avail- able in Walc?. His opinion -?s th?f it ?ab not. Still the ?fveu that took the Mid w?t?e the chosen ?min?e of the Weigh led.it)n Commits, and no g??<) purpose would be served at this juncture I in-'criticising its decisions. j WEAKNESS OF THE WELSH. j The Welsh l&d& were disappointing, ami the majority of them did not by any meant rep-?vduee the fonn displayed in club matches. The forwards were at sixes and sevens throughout, whilst the oppos«n £ ) Ave played ducks and drak" with the j kotae defence. A 1 amenta-hie fault was I continuous mis-kicking of the home men, and each of Scotland's two goals fol- lowed close upon a. wild and fruitless at- tempt at a flying kick by Hortop and I Price In the case of the first of, these Hortop's failure to get at the ball was succeeded by a similar failure by Owen, whioh was taken full advantage of' by that clever little, risfht wirger, j M-Kenzie, and his inside partner, His.top. I The homesters did not once show cohesion, i and coupled with thi« WM the fact that almost every individual player was weak. Tliere were one or two. exceptions, and to these I shall refer later. SCOTS' SUPERLATIVE MERIT. I .Wal es were fortunate in losing by so narrow a margin. The robust play of the visitors entitled them to a far more clear victory, for in every department, with the possible exception of the position between, the stio.k-F, they were clearly the superior lot. The-y showed delightful conibina- tipn, and a greater determination to get on the ball. Their two flanks were always in the picture, and this was due to the pleasing manner in which Drum- mo?d fed them, Th? centre half c'Ap+-?i?<?j & N:"tch tsde. an?l on Mn ju.c;th'l d??pribp his .jud?QM?t as masterly. At the I outset. he fed the flanks in turn, but soon discovered that Wales' weakness lav on the right. After this he plied Marshall and M'l'haal persistently, and when later the Welsh left, fell away, M'Kenzie and 'I Htsiop were set gv-ing. At times the con- certed movements of the visiting forwards completely bewildered tho Welshmen, and it. was only the wonderful defence erf Thomas in goal that eventually saved the situation. It is fair to say tha.t Scotland bad easily the be rter of matters, end that it was a victorv due to superlative merit. PERSONALIA. I It is a. difficult task to choose the stars am-iong the visitors, because every player was an artiste. Blair, the left back, is, I am told, a brother of the famous Rangers and Scottish International back. The lad promises well to emulate the achievements of his brothers. He played a wonderfully g>ood game throughout, and his run- almost. the length of the field, in the second half was loudly applauded by the huge crowd. Drummond as an artistric centre half who should al::o do well. The forwards, as a hole, were good, and had not. a single defect. Of the Welshmen, Thomas; the custodian, fielded the ball well. The full-backs gave a very mediocre display, ana the halves were poor. They gave the visitors far too much latitude. Bradley, the right half, at timee did well. The forwards failed badly. Price, the pivot of the line, was selfish, and he allowed several opportunities to go a-begging through hanging on to the ball too long. I

END OF THE SEASON. I DISAPPOINTINC RUGBY. if  (BY "SENTINEL") There was every indication of the end of the season's football at Swansea on Sa turda when ;:h A 11 Whites defeated Treherb rt. The attendance wa-s, mOtit di.sappCcf"Jiting, and it only to show that the public eannc- be put off with any dass ot game We liaviz been assured that next season's teams of the beet class will be brought to Swansea. L is to be hoped that this is correct, otherwise the patrons ot the, Rugby game will be com- pelled to ifnd mote satisfying fare else- whet1?. The home players [nil tar below the standard expected of them. and cle- spite the absence of R..Palmer, J. Jon**i E. B. Rees and Oswald .Jenkins, should i hove put cn the tallest score of season. The h to accord the backs muuerous chances of opening out the game, but for the greater j part of the game the combination be- i tw'>en the half-b<%ck« and threeqtia.hiers was Taulty.. Jim Kapsey and B. Beynon had not("fi"d their intention of standing j down for this game, but Griffiths had not turned up in time, consequently the i couple prevailed upon to turn out. DROPPED PASSES. j it was evideiv^ that they were i)ot, fter- fectly fit, and they failed to show the understanding with each other that we have been accustomed to see. Rarely have I seen B. Beyncn so many pas»?s from Rapsey, and it evidently an- noyed. the scrumorker. judging by his j racial expression. The third line were in much the same predicament, and he ha.n<!UB? was ]lot neaHy go e?!'?'iYe a' in previous ?arn?s. Occasional! thy combined ?pipnd?dty, but tk're was a lack of whole heartedness wkich ww, ap- parent throughout the game.

I XI?xt season an attempt should he made I to remedy tit's, and as Flynn. was always a lad who was willing to take advice. I alll sure that he will maka an effort to eradicate the «ne-h*nd business. At ore stage of thy game the Ail Whites' for- 'Wa ds sued IiM? ? CTark up, and the ball came out from the opposite ?de of the scrum on seven consecutive ocea- tions. Luckily, however.-the falling away was only temporary, and they managed to pull themselves together and assert their superionijty. Tom Morgan, Parker, I Webber were the most prominent, alrhough Gard Vïasn often i-n po-nie clever footwork. The opposing pack worked hard throughout the game, and gave the All Whites a strenuous time, but relied morp on forca than skill. The backs rarely combined with effect, but when ha rd pnsssod us?J the touch I;np judiciously. In th- I)ha,-e of.the game they were superior to the All Whites. There was little to choose, between the custodians, althouh Colville was called upon more frequently thajj Joe Davies I

The resolution is in the following terms: Tha.t' in the opinion of thM House, in view of the altered and changed circumstances, the time has I ■fully arrived to take steps to abolish or re- move all the extra increases of passenger fares introduced during the progress of the war which are still continued to be charged, ako for a small measure of justice to meet the needs cf the general public that the present very inadequate passenger train service be forthwith increased with cheap trains at least to the approximate number formerly provided by the railway companies in the various districts.
