Ted Vizard, the Bolton Wanderers FC outside-left was in the original
line-up, but his exclusion on the day of the match caused a radical
shake-up of the Welsh team. Lew Davies went outside-left, replacement
Peake joined at centre-half and Lloyd Davies dropping to left-back. |

Match Report |
England beat Wales , at Bristol,
yesterday by four goals to three. Although England were represented by
an experimental side, much of the play reached a high standard, but the
conditions--there were pools of water on the ground--did not enable an
accurate opinion to be formed of their true ability as a team.

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 17 March
1913 that two miners spent a fourth day underground at Egremont in
Cumberland, following the collapse of a dam leading to the mine being
flooded. One man was drowned, but two others found their way to a
surface borehole through which essential food and supplies were sent to
them whilst a rescue operation was undertaken. Enough water was pumped
out by the fifth day and one of the survivors, John Cairns promptly
walked the two miles home, none the worse for wear! He was awarded the
Edward Medal by the King for his bravery, because he had re-entered the
passageway to warn his colleague of the danger when they became
stranded.
