Changes in the Wales team ahead of England clash


February 27, 1904
The constitution of the Welsh team against England in the Association football encounter at Wrexham next Monday has undergone several alterations. Grenville Morris, of Nottingham Forest, being injured in the English Cup tie against Blackburn, the inside left position has been relegated to Richard Morris, the Liverpool inside right, and Mart Watkins, of Aston Villa, will partner Billy Meredith, Manchester City, on the right wing.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Derby County re-play of Cup tie clashing with Monday’s International, Charles Morris, the Derby full back, will be otherwise engaged, and his vacancy will be filled by Horace Blew, the Wrexham International.

The only doubtful starter now is Jack Jones, the Tottenham Hotspur captain, whose understudy is John Hughes of Liverpool.
