Speedy Bristol Rovers Surprise SIXTH GAME WITHOUT WIN Costly Mistake BRISTOL CITY 1, BRIGHTON 2 THINGS ARE going badly lor Bristol City, who not won a League game since December 3, and have collected only two points in their last six games. On Saturday we looked and hoped for signs of a revival, but It was not forthcoming. Although City commanded a territorial advantage against Brighton, and had in Eisentrager and Guy, two of the best players on the Held, must be conceded that the Sussex side, when they did get going, were better as a team, possessed more ideas and were quicker and smarter than City.

City, however, would have taken and earned a point, but for an unfortunate lapse by Roberts a minute from time. With goalkeeper Morgan crying out for a high ball which was certainly his. Roberts lifted a foot and diverted it to one side of the goal, for Kavanagh to run and head into an open net. City could not match the clever approach work of the Brighton halves and inside-forwards. Winghalves Whent and Brennan were a constructive pair, and the prime movers in several delightful bouts of passing in which the ball moved with clockwork precision from one end of the field to the other, without a City player touching it.

The move must often be rehearsed was proauced on six occasions had outside-left Davies been in better shooting form would have brought the success it deserved. Twice, once in each half, Davies missed with only Morgan to beat City looked sluggish in all they did compared with their opponents. Their attack marred much good work, by misplacing final passes, and generally found the Brighton defenders a move ahead of them. Eisentrager played with his customary skill, bur much of his work was wasted, while the wings lacked penetrative power. BEST DEFENDER wing-halves were not seen to good advantage and Bicknell never recovered from a shakv start This was, perhaps, not surprising.

for after a series of mistakes early on, he became a target for some members of the crowd. If this is the sort of treatment which is to be meted out to young players at Ashton Gate, then their prospects of advancement are none too bright. In Guy. City had by far the best defender on view, and he is in great form just now. Goalkeeper Morgan also had a good game and.

like his opposite, Baldwin, made no mistakes. Before putting City In the lead a minute before half-time, centre-forward Rodgers missed a great chance He took deliberate aim from four yards out with only Baldwin to beat, and shot wide. He made no mistake, however, from a similar position after a neat move between White and Williams, who placed a perfect pass behind leftback. Tennant Brighton's equalising point came from a grand run half the length of the field by outside-right Reed, who beat Bailey and dropped the ball on the head of the unmarked centre-forward. Leamon.

who scored the simplest of goals. Attendance; 12.126 fpe.id). Bournemouth BOURNEMOUTH 0. BRISTOL ROVERS 2. OR ISTOL ROVERS gave the irrpression at mouth that they are on the up grade, and a second away win on succeeding fourth of the an indication of a revival.

Thp score did not represent the run of the For about three I quarters of the game the Rovers were defending desperately, ami they won through because of the ability of Bainford Warren, and Fox to be first to the ball and to cover each other with the greatest prAislon. BAMBINO 11. BEST BET AT WOLVERHAMPTON Martin Chances They were also speedy In recovery When the Bournemouth forwards at times eluded them. So well did they cover the goal area that Weare, except for ably dealing with many corner-kicks, was troubled with a difficult shot. Bambino 11, narrowly beaten at Cheltenham earlier this month.

Is strongly fancied to make amends in the High Level Handicap Hurdle at Wolverhampton to-dav The seven-year-old seems well treated with lost 131b. which will be reduced by R. Hamev claiming the allowance. The story of the match might have been a different one had Bournemouth made full use of grand chances early in the first half Stephens, in the first minute seemed to have an open goal, but his shot found Warren in the way. Weigh also missed twice when goals seemed reasonably certain, and later Weare came out of a goalmouth scramble with the ball in his hands, and the crowd shouting goal.

At Prestbury Park he failed by ly a length to overhaul Mount- orlock Brady Hill in fourth place. He is weighted to conlirm those plncings with Bradv's Hill, a good stayer, who can also pull out a little extra from the last hurdle. Martin Molony should have another successful day. and his best chance may be on the consistent Brown Hall in the Stafford Handicap Chase. After two smart wins.

Brown Hall found a 101b penalty a little too much at Cheltenham. but it was only after a great struggle that Call defeated him by three-quarters of a length. He had such good jumpers as Fighting Line. Angel Hill and Old Mortality behind, and does not appear so highly tried to-day. Of the others Foxley II makes meet appeal.

Whilst full credit must go to the Rovers magnificent defence, it was apparent all through that there was more pace and fire in the work of the whole team and. compared with the rather slow and methodical Bournemouth movements. Rovers looked more alert Time and again they beat their opponents to the ball and It was this quelity that brought both goals. N. stable continues on Its winning way.

and the Middleham trainer may begin the afternoon with a win. He saddles Steel Kay against a big field in the Bridgnorth Hurdle (Div. and the six-year-old will come In for heavy support. PERSISTENT WINGERS Watling and Petherbridge were the most persistent of the Rovers attack, and credit must go to their for both goals. The first, after 32 minutes, came as a result of Watling beating Fisher near the comer flag and centreing for Petherbndge to place the ball neatly to Morgan, who scored easily.

The second goal, seven minutes from the end. came from one of few breakaways from Bournemouth pressure in the second ralf. Pitt crossed the ball unexpectedly to Watling. who rounded Fisher to run on and beat the advancing goalkeeper. Little was seen of Roost in the attack.

He was held by Stirling, but Morgan figured in several good forward movements and by shrewd passes to either wing gave Watling and Petherbridgc chances to outwit the Bournemouth backs, Fisher and Drummond, who were well below their usual form. To sum up. nothing that could be said in excuse for Bournemouth's defeat could detract from the fine and unexpected win. True, it was largely their defence on which the brunt of the battle fell, but the fact that the forwards took their chances In sharp contrast to the performance of the Bournemouth attack, actually won them the points. SOUTHERN LEAGUE DEPLETED BATH WIN WELL H.ith City lost a player In the first half of the game at Twerlon Park against.

PLYMOUTH RES 0. BRISTOL ROVERS RESERVES were altogether too good for Plymouth Argyle Res. in the return Combination Cup game at Eastvllle. Quick tackling and good covering in defence prevented the Argyle forwards from getting near enough to the goal to worry Liley. and the nippy thrustful forwards, who have scored 12 goals in the last three games, proved too much of a handful for the Argyle defenders.

But for the sound perl orma nee of Major In the Argyle goal the Rovers might easily have surpassed their nest home win against Cardin the previous week.

Bristol City Res.

had little difficulty in entering the second-round ol the Somerset Professional Cup, with a win at Weston-super- Mare. The neat combination, deft footwork and swift interchanging had Weston all at sea In the first half In which the visitors attacked continually. Westons defence, which was frequently caught out of position, could find no answer to the menace of the wingers, Lloyd and Lyon, whose dazzling runs put their side on the road to victory. Hawkins a dashing leader, put the Reserves ahead with a shot from 15 yards and hit the woodwork with a superb header, both from Lyon's centres. 'Weston were completely outplayed at this period, and when the Reserves increased their lead with two goals from Hawkins and Lloyd in as many minutes, there was no doubt of the ultimate result.

Lyon score: a fourth with a shot that gave the goalkeeper no chance Just before the interval. Weston improved on resumption, but were inclined to over-elaborate against a quick-tackling defence in which Peafock and Mitchflson shone, and the Reserves again took control. Lloyd completing the scoring shortly before the end. BOXING There should be good sport at the boxing tournament to-nlgnt when an RN RAF Wilts.) contest is being staged at the Victoria Rooms, Bristol.

BOISTEROU WEST RUGBY ANOTHER BLACK DAY FOR WEST CLUBS University One of Few Winners WELSH TOLL Welsh clubs made a determined attack in West Country on Saturday, and for the most part went away rejoicing. In other local games Bristol University beat Sidmouth by an odd point; Bridgwater ran riot against Teignmouth who had previously lost only one game; and Torquay completed a double over Taunton. Bristol University won at Sidmouth by two tries to a foal, but should have made their victory more decisive.

The forwards, led by James, were superior in all departments and secured almost a monopoly of the ball. Play was. in fact, in the Sidmoutb half for moat of the game, but the weakened University outsides did not have enough thrust to take full advantage of their opportunities, although D. Jones always looked dangerous and made several powerful runs. Tries were scored by Wharton and Payne, and Reece went over for Salter to convert for Sidmouth hope of a double victory over Neath and of improving their moderate record was dashed when they lost Ken Daniell and Jack Watkins in the tlrst-half.

and had to counter attacks with 13 players. Except for a handling mistake which allowed Neath to open the scoring, Gloucester had been a match for the Welsh side until they lost Danlell, but they could not attord the necessary weakening of their pack, and when Watkins was lost, Neath secured practically a monopoly of the ball. Neath were only able to add eight points to the three scored before the interval, which showed In a measure the stoutness of Gloucester's defence score was a penalty goal from one of 10 penalty kicks. Beaten for the first time a week ago. by Somerset Police at Taunton Telgnmouth had a far sorrier time on visiting Bridgwater and Albion being outplayed by two goals.

goal, penalty goal and two tries (22 points), to a penalty goal (3 points). Bridgwater fully deserved their big win. they had a big advantage forward. Andrews and Reid combined well behind, and the centres. Jones and Collier, were in brilliant form, especlal'y the former.

LAST MINUTE TRIES Weston-suircr-Mare lost at Ebbw Vale bv a goal and four tries (17 nis.) to a goal and a dropped goal (eight The score docs not retiect the play, since Just before the end Ebbw Vale led by only one point and Weston might have snatched the lead. Two quick tries, however, for Ehbw Vale made victory for the Welsh club certain Motile and Pearce did good work for Weston, but in general the contrtbuJm of the Ebbw Vale back division had superior pact and thrust. Peaite got a dropped goal for Weston, and Sheila bear a try, Jones converting In a colourless, unenterprising game, Torquay completed the over Taunton, at Priory Park, by a try (three points) to nothing. Torquay were more impressive behind the scrum, but neither side displayed true form, on a pitch of treacherous surface. Had the Bath backs played as well as the forwards then they might have pulled off a win against Cardin, who were without seven of their regular players.

As it was Cardiff were still wood enough to win by 18 points to eight. Forward. Cardin were inferior, being beaten by a pack who always broke up quickly and dribbled with determination and speed for the line Time and time again after quick heeling had enabled their half-backs to send their three-quarters awav. the Bath auartet threw away their advantage because they just stood still when making passes. Sullivan landed a penalty goal for Bath, and their best was deservedly rewarded for hl-s perseverance when he crossed for the try which Sullivan converted.

THREE line tries by D. C. Golledge, who showed pace, determination and opportunism, were principally responsible for Bristol gaining a win at Northampton (their first since the war) by points (two goals and a try) to 11 (two penalty goals and a try) Two of those tries were converted by D. Woodward, the Bristol hooker who is developing into a reliable place kicker. It was a fiercely fought lead changed hands several and Bristol accomplished a great performance in winning after beim in arrears at the interval by eight points to five.

The forward battle was reallj robust; ever) inch of ground was contested with the utmost vigoui and there were times when the play became a little too boisterous. The Whole of the Bristol pack fought with great determination and tenacity and A. Macdonald, E. Hopton and J. A.

Scott were frequently prominent, while S. Reid was a fast moving wing forward who often upset the Northampton backs by his quick tackling The Northampton pack, has a reputation for their all-round ability, found their masters in the opposing eight but fought a grand losing battle. Conspicuous for them were R. C. Hawkes, the Somerset forward, whose line-out work was good, and J.

E. Lomas, who had plenty of speed and dash. In tho scrummages the home gamed the advantage, but their backs could take little advantage of their superiority in this respect ant they never settled down. They lacked method in attack and when a promising movement did look like NAVAL COLLEGE END RUN Handling Poor on Both Sides Clifton can have no complaint in losing their five unbeaten record to RN E. College, Keyham, by 8-0, for the visitors deserved thenwin.

Th ex-Navy hooker, Lieutenant-Commander R. Hail, came out best against Clifton's John Langdon, but College's slight advantage in weight did not prevent Clifton from holding their own in the line-outs. The handling on both was not beyond reproach, and the game became very largely a forward battle ScrumhaU Tutllctt gave the be-t perlonnance for Clifton, but the movements which he stalled were short-lived and the Clifton line wav always lust that pace too slow. Whyte, the right centre, had bail luck with his kicking, and had the disappointment of seeing one penalty kick hit the upright. Best games for the College were Dlayed by T.

A. McCrossan and R. W. Lyle In the pack, and P. Coonv-.

who. playing at full back, did some line gathering and kicking developing they handled poorly At the interval neither side had scored, but soon afterwards McCrossan ran out of a maul In the Clifton 35 and touched down Thleft wing, F. Pinch, hit the post In trying to convert, but made no mistake with the second opportunity given to him. This came 10 minutes irom the end after F. Hall had struggled through a mass of Clifton forwards to touch down near the posts.

Clifton played a hard game throughout without even a consolation try. Great Welsh Pack Shatters England Hopes ENGLAND. WALES, llpts. FOR THE SECOND time history, Wales beat England at Twickenham, and the scenes of Welsh jubilation that followed the first victory at England's headquarters in 1933 were put into shade Wales, thanks to the best pack they have been able to command for years, won on merit. Wales won against the weight of pre-ccncelved opinion and despite late changes.

The England team failed absolutely to show the form revealed in the Trials and although they held a lead for over one felt, even then, that they were doomed to defeat. In all phases, the Welsh forwards were magnificent, and particularly in the loose and line-out; and they we'e not only the spearhead of the majority of attacks, but they reduced the England division to Ineptitude. The whole eight deserved the highest commendation, but none did better than the new cap." John, and Hayward. Gwllllam and Evans. Lewis Jones, not yet 19.

He organ the movement that led to the first Welsh try. scored by Cllfl Davies, and he kicked a penalty goal and converted the second try. by Cale.

to give them a commanding lead of three goals. Then a marked change came over the game. Gloucestershire took command, and within a few minutes Urquhart (Bristol University) scored twice Somerset, unbeaten this season, were the first to defeat Devon at Taunton, when they won by six goals to two Somerset were quicker on the ball and their better positioning and passing in attack nald dividends. Somerset led at half-time with goals by Clarke (2) and Burrough. Devon's scorers were Lyon end Mlchelmore.

In the second half Somerset Increased their lead with goals by Borrett. Burrough ana Clarke. SEIZED CHANCES Thus is reliected in the tact that Northampton only scored one try, which came from H. Woolnough, a fast-mo inf wing forward. Tms try was converted by T.

Gray, the stand-off half, who also kicked twe penalty goals, and generally his kicking was a feature of the home play. Contrary to their opponents Bilstol backs seized upon chances with a swiftness that upset the home side and although receiving much lesf of the ball were more dangerous in attack. In the centre D. Day quick and decisive all he did he tacKiea he made good openings which played important parts in two of tries His co-centre, D. Holman, was less prominent but played neatly and quietly.

More often than not, G. Green, who was swift off the mark at stand-off half, found that he could best open up by passing to Day, and these two worked very well together. On the other wing T. Kendall did not get many chances, but snowed plenty of speed and was usually sure in defence. Bristol had a safe full-back In N.

Gibbs, who kicked with length and certainty. At the end of the game a noisy section of the crowd voiced their disapproval of win. Bristol were without J. A. Gregory, iheir International right wing, M.

D. Corbett and K. R. Ortflln, whilst Northampton had J. Hyde and D.

F. White away at Twickenham, where they were reserves for England. closincTstages WERE BEST BRISTOL UNITED 8 MORGAN WANDERERS Bpts. All the srcrlng and the excitement were confined to the last 10 mlnues of the game on the Memorial Ground, here Bristol United were beaten by Glamorgan Wanderers by e.ght point) la goal and a tryi to six ia penalty goal and a dropped goal). Up to point the Wanderers had leen stopped from scoring although they were the better side.

Then irom a five-yard scrum Heap scrambled over lor a try which Franklin converted. This stung Bristol and there was n.ore life and dash about their play, but their first scoie came from a penalty goal by Hlh. However the Wanderers retaliated and this time Hughes got over from some close lorward work. Again Bristol exerted pressure but the opposing defence was sound and their only other score a quick dropped goal by Price, so that although they made such a close game of It they did not penetrate the Wanderers line. The United pack v'as sluggish comparison with its usual liveliness.

BIG TEST OPPORTUNITY Excitement was mounting throughout South Africa yesterday at the possibility of the Union winning their first Test against Australia for 40 years. The Springboks' only victory acainet Australia was at Adelaide In 1910-11.

Facing the third day of the third Test in the present series South Africa were in a strong position, having scored 311 in their first innings and then dismissed he Australians for 75.
