Russell by manoeuvring instead of shooting lost a'splendid open-ing for Brisbane, who were now having the best of matters. AA7orrall had still another sbot, and, although a good at-tempt, it failed. Ipswich then .made a dash, and Burns's shot was put over the bar by the Blue goalkeeper, thus giving Ipswich a corner. The ball was sent to a handy position, and when a Red score seemed most probable Egtts nullified the opportunity by handling. Then Russell, the inside ligiht, passed to Dougall, the inside left, who cleverly beat three men and scored, amid cheers.
