Swansea Davies' Big Share In Barbarians' Defeat
By Peter Lawless
SWANSEA .. 12 pts. BARBARIANS
London, Apr. 11.
Some delightful running by W. T. H. Davies, the stand-off half, played a big part in Swansen's victory against the Barbarians by a penalty goal and three trics to a penalty goal.
In the first half he worked to- wards the blind side on the left. beat Roberts with a blat of a turn inwards, and then sent Sullivan on to complete the move. Towards the end of the game he turned indifferent Barbarian passing to his own are count and, moving extremely fast along the right touch-line, scored a try by the flu.
lie had a mo
most competent piriner
in Haydn Tanner, und between them they outplayed the Barbarian pair, Cooke and Walker, though It is only fair to say that Walker war off the feld for a time early in the first half injury. Roberts, the knce full-back, also retired for a time as a result of a headlong tuckle of W. Davies, while Duf went off for good shortly before half-time with what was believed to be a fractured check- bone.
In the Swansea centre Claude Davey and Ron Williams tackled magnificently, and if truth be told the visiting outsides never really looked
scoring Macrae crashed
BWAY but Was invariably mouchously,
and Leyland, too often watching the man instead of keep- ing his eye on the ball, rarely took his passes. Neither Obolensky nor Williams on the wings had the palest ghost of a chance, Roberts, the full- back, was the one visiting outside to Suggest international class.
acknow-
NO HOLIDAY SPIRIT The game, in the first half at any rale, hardly suggested the holiday spirit. The Swansea front row set about countering Toft'a ledged hooking mastery with vigor Dua methods, crushing into the set scrums with the fire of stags in the rutting season. The Barbarians re- fused to be drawn into the butting contest and there were times when both front rows stood up facing cach other, scowling or laughing accord- ing to temperament.

In the second half Swansea were generally the attacking side. Tanner broke cleverly on the open side and caught the defence by passing to Bancroft on the blind side, and the forward sent a pass to Powell, who showed a flac turn of speed in scor- far out. Harris failed with the kick.
