The Welsh Victory To the Editor of the "Nonru-Cuina Dany News"
Sim—With reference to your lead~ erette on the AN Blacks of Nov. 25, 1 wish to correct what, if my memory is sound, is a misstatement of focis, and that is your remark which runs "The hotly disputed try, [scored by Wales to win a nominal victory". The try scored by Wales ju that memorable match was never in dispute, as it was the result of a brilliant manceuvre of the Welsh 0 eighth which culminated in an equally brilliant passing movement with Dr. Teddy Morgan scoring a perfectly fair try. The dispute in the ame was over what would have been the equalizing try by the All Blacks, but their wing three-quarter was tackled {in the act of scoring and the corner flag was knocked down, and the ref-cree's verdict was that It was knocked. down by the New Zealander and he very rightly allowed no try, It might also be mentioned that in the same game Gwyn Nicholls—the nest centre three-quarter of all time /—broke clean through the All Blacks defence and with only a few yards to 0 and no one to beat, let the bali all out of his arm. I would, therefore, also ike to suggest that the remark "nominal victory" ts hardly Just to the memorable Welsh win of 1900, 1 did not seo the game, as children in arms are generally out of place at international matches, but Tam fairly sure that my account of the incidents mentioned are correct, Perhaps there are some enthusiastic Rugger supporters—Welsh or of other nationalities—in, Shanghai, who could confirm my remarks.
