BRITISH ASSOCIATION GAME.

The Bulimba Rangers and Toowong teams met on the former's ground at Bulimba, to play off their fixture in the Challenge Cup competition. The opening exchanges were in favour of the Bulimbas, who, through Campbell, early tested Fleming with an easily saved shot. Play for a time was continued to Toowongs' territory, until Johnson relieved the anxiety by passing to Burroughs who shot unsuccessfully for goal. Burns, Tucker, and Philp were next conspicuous in a fine passing dribble which was well checked by Menzies. Persistent efforts by the Toowongs were unltimately rewarded, as hesitancy on the part of the Bulimbas defence gave Tucker an opportunity of notching the first point. The subsequent play was of an end to end nature, M'Gowan, M'Kay and T. Campbell on the one side and Dunlop, Meldrum and Lawrence on the other being most prominent. Good work by Burns, D Campbell, and Burroughs was the next outstanding feature, but danger was averted by M'Gowan and Davidson, the latter trying a shot at long range which Fleming safely negotiated. The succeeding play was of an exciting order, Bulimbas pressing their opponents most determinedly. A brilliant piece of work ended in M'Kay scoring. The Toowongs were practically hemmed in for some time, the Bulimbas sending in some dangerous shots, one from D Campbell being a beauty, which gave Fleming no chance to save. Half time: Bulimbas, 2 goals; Toowongs, 1 goal.

The Bulimbas, displaying great confidence and dash, were early on the move in the second half, but they were very unlucky on several occasions, shots from Bowerman and Dougall just missing the post. A little later Bowerman fastened on the ball, and, eluding the Toowongs' defence, passed nicely to Dougall who was ruled offside. The former player again obtained possession, and putting in a brilliant individual run placed the ball past Fleming. Howie, who was playing a fine game had the best of a tussle with the Toowongs' backs, his parting shot, however, failing to beat the goalkeeper. A combined run by M'Kay, Campbell and Dougall brought the ball well down the field and the latter, with a stinging shot, gave Fleming no chance to save. The game continued in favour of the Bulimbas, Toowongs, to relieve the pressure, being forced to concede a comer which proved unproductive. Smith, Philp, and Tucker aroused their supporters' hopes, but M'Gowan effected a brilliant clearance, and transferred play. Play in the closing stages was of a fairly even nature, the final result being - Bulimba Rangers, 4 goals: Toowong, 1 goal.
