Football. Meeting of the Welsh Union Committee.
A meeting of the general committee of the Welsh Rugby Union was held at the Queen's Hotel, Cardiff, on Thursday evening, Mr. Horace Lyne in the chair. The business was of aa formal character. Mr. Lyne was re-elected chairman of committee, and the following were elected on the finance committee:- Messrs W.D.Phillips, Gavin Henry, Ack Llewellyn, J.Games, W.M.Douglas, and T.D.Schofield.
Mr. Gavin Henry takes the place of Mr. W.Wilkins, who resigned his position as Vice-president of the Union at the last annual meeting.
Reported after the Scotland Wales match Arthur Gould (Wales Captain) was exclaiming to everybody after the match "Cymru am byth" and directly after he said it, he would exclaim "I don't know what it means, but I've been told to say it". There was a great deal of chuckling when Gavin Henry 'A Scotsman of the Llanelli club' came to Arthur's rescue and said it meant "Wales forever" adding that it was rather good on such an occasion as that for a Scotsman to teach a Welshman his own language.
