After a very interesting match on the City ground at Ashton Gate, England gained their usual victory over Wales, but only by the odd goal in seven. The English forwards gave a much better display than against Ireland, opening out the game well on the heavy turf, and playing with dash and skill all through.
   As a wing Hodkinson and Latheron were a big success on the left, the inside man being a rare worker and Hodkinson very speedy on the outside and accurate with his centres. Hampron played better in the centre than in any previous international. Fleming was quite at his best, but he put in some delightful touches, and Wallace was brilliant at outside right. The selectors will not go far wrong if they choose the same attacking line to oppose Scotland.
   The defence was not so satisfactory. Moffat was slow and clumsy at right half, and Bradshaw never got the measure of Meredith. McCall, of Preston North End, worked like a Trojan at centre half, and was the best man in the middle line. Crompton and Pennington were useful without being at their best and Scattergood should have saved the last goal. The English defence as constituted to-day is not solid enough to stop the Scottish forwards.
   Wales like England, were better in attack than defence, despite the absence of Vizard, their best forward. Meredith was as dangerous as ever, and his goal was a brilliant one. Davis, of Millwall, led the attack well, and played very unselfishly. Lot Jones did excellent work, showing cleverness in controlling the ball, but he made one very bad miss in front of goal.
   Hughes, of Manchester City, was the best of a hard-working line of half backs. Bailiff kept goal in brilliant form, behind a somewhat uncertain pair of backs, and Wales have to thank the Llanelly man for keeping down England's score.
   Heavy rain overnight made the ground heavy, water being on the playing pitch in several places. A rough wind helped to dry the ground, but just before the men took the field rain and sleet commenced to fall.
   Wales won the toss and played witha strong wind in the first half. England pressed hotly in the first five minutes, Bailiff saving brilliantly from Wallace. Then Meredith forced a corner, from which the English goal had a narrow escape. Play was fast, despite the heavy ground.
   Wales scored after ten minutes' play, Davis securing the ball from a throw-in on the left and shooting a grand goal from fully twenty yards out. Fleming was brought down just outside the penalty line, but nothing came of the free kick. The Welsh forwards swung the ball about well, and Meredith was as slippery as ever.
   England attacked hotly, and after Bailiff had saved magnificently with Hampton and Latheron on top of him, Fleming equalised with a fine shot.
   England again took up the attack, and seven minutes after their first goal Fleming gave Latheron a neat pass, from which the Blackburn man scored easily. Meredith got away, and from his centre Lot Jones missed from short range, with only the goalkeeper left to beat—a lucky escape for England.
   Wallace was playing finely for England at outside-right, and, following one of his centres, the ball came out to McCall, who shot a grand goal from twenty yards out. By this team the rain had ceased. There was no further scoring before the interval, and England crossed over with a lead of 3 goals to 1.
   The second half opened with a strong attack by England, Latheron missing an easy opening and Wallace hitting the crossbar with a tremondous drive. The English forwards were playing very unselfishly, keeping the Welsh half-backs continually on the run. A bad mis-kick by McCall gave Wales a corner, from which the ball came out to Meredith, who scored with a brilliant cross drive.
   Wynn shot just wide of the post directly after Wallace got away and sent Fleming through, but the Swindon man, after running close in, shot into Bailiff's arms. England, however, were good value for another goal, and this came from brilliant work by the Villa representatives. Hampton gave Wallace a long pass, from which the winger dashed away and middled in fine style for Hampton to head the fourth goal for England.
   Wales forced a corner off Pennington, but Meredith placed the ball badly, and it was easily cleared. Wales worked hard, and twenty-seven after the resumption Peake scored with a fast drive. Scattergood getting to the ball, but failing to prevent it rolling into the net.
   England reurned to the attack and Hampton hit the crossbar with a fast drive. A corner for England was badly placed by Wallace, and two more corners yielded no advantage. By this time the game had slowed down. Davis, of Millwall, was nearly through, but Crompton saved at the expense of a corner. This was the last incident of a great struggle.
