litod Press Association —Cop/right Received July 27, 8.20 p.m. 1 BRISBANE, July 27. wo Tho return match between Queona- pa nd and Now Zealand football teams mj os decided on tho Cricket Ground ca ns afternoon. In view of tho plea- so 1 nt weather tho attendance is vari- I isly estimated at between 14,000 and I 5,000. Tho following were tho aims :—Queensland (maroon): Back, . Carmichael; throe-miartors, Pear- 1 i Conic, J. Carmichael, Parkinson ; a Ives, Heslop, Alioarnc; forwards, 'ilielly, Richards, Flanagan, Samp- cli 3ii, Caniffo, Oxenlium, Oxlado, and trighton. Now Zealand (black): 1“ tack, G. Spencer; three-quarters, 1 “ I’ryer, Gillet, Bootli; five-eighths, U Vallaco, Eckliold;. half, Roberts;!? onvards, Hogan (wing), Hughes, * Jc Donald, Nicholson, Cunningham, lohnston, Seeling, and J. Spencer. I Roberts won the toss from N.Z., n uul selected tho end which gave them „ -he advantage of a light breeze. The 1 „ ocal full-back started the game by [j ricking well down tho field, and the I 3vat was returned by McDonald to Parkinson, who found the line within I , New Zealand’s 25. A free kick ro- I lievod tho pressure upon tho visitors, I Gillet using tlio lino well, and thus I gaining considerable ground. This I advantage placed tho homo team on I 1 the defensive for a time, and the I backs were kept busy in preventing I tbo New Zealanders from scoring. I Abearne endeavored to remove the I i scene of play by kicking down the I , field, but tho ball went high, and I i Spencer marked in front of Queens- I < land’s goal. He took a shot at goal, I ] and though tho effort was not at- I . tended by success he sent -the ball I j dangerously near scoring. It struck i one of tho posts and rebounded into I play. Tho blacks at once charged I down, but the ball went out at tho I corner. From tho line-out desultory I play followed, and Queensland re- I lieved by forcing down. Tho mar- I oons kicked off again, and following I up well carried the game into New I Zealand’s territory. Tho local for- I wards got possession of the oval, and I from a fine dribbling rush looked as I if they were about to score, but a I too-enorgetic kick near tho line sent I clip leather into touch. From the line-out the New Zealand forwards I swooped down on the ball, and the | maroons wero soon hard at work in j preventing dogged attacks on their I line proving successful. Eventually I Pearce, a local three-quarter, kicked I to Seeling, who marked, and with a I kick removed play to the centre of I the ground, whore Roberts gathered I up the ball and swiftly passed to Wal- I laet, who in turn whipped it along I to Fryer, and the youthful Canter- I bury representative crossed the line. I G. Spencer was called upon to at- I tempt the major points, but failed. I New Zealand 3 I Queensland 0 I Tho game had not long been re- I sumed before Gillet returned a kick I to tho local full-back, who fumbled I the ball, and before lie had time to re- I cover himself, Fryer, following up | smartly, had gained possession, and I forced his way across his opponents’ I lino. Wallace had the kick at goal, I but he too failed. New Zealand 6 Queensland 0 Play hovered about the centre for a time. Then from the loose Roberts once more started a passing rush. When about to be collared he passed to Wallace, and the latter by feinting upset the calculations of the local backs, and then before they were aware what was happening the bal, was sent along to Fryer, who had no difficulty in registering his third successive try, but no goal resulted. New Zealand 9 Queensland 0

On resuming, the Queenslanders rallied, and with a dribbling rush bore the ball away into New Zealand’s country, and the visitors were hard pressed. The maroons had reached as far as the last line o. the visitors’ defence, when a “speculator ’ by one of the blacks sent the Queenslanders scurrying back to clear their own line. Pearce .arrived just in time to stop a score against Ills side, and then half-time sounded, with the scores reading: New Zealand 9 Queensland 0 Tho second spell was started by Seeling kicking down to Corrie, who returned well up the field, the ball going out in New Zealand’s 25. Shortly after Heslop marked, and then kicked to Fryer, who returned it, and followed up quickly. Carmichael, the local full-back, took the ball, but being flurried failed to get in his kick, and a scrum followed. From this Wallace got the ball and transferred it to Fryer, and the latter scored his fourth try. Wallace failed to convert.

New Zealand 12 Queensland u The maroons rallied, and for a time had the visitors putting up defensive work, but only for a brief period, the blacks gradually shifting their opponents back past the centre of the field, where Wallace, gathering up tile oval, sent it on to his wing (1 ; ryer), who, taking the hall nicely, evaded the opposing backs, and once again crossed the coveted line. Gillec was entrusted with the placekick, and he succeeded in placing the only goal the visitors scored during tho afternoon. New Zealand IT Queensland 0 Ah this period of the game McDonald injured his back, and had to retire from the field. This misfortune to the visitors was almost immediately added to by Hogan being placed hors de combat. Benefited by the brief spell which these accidents necessitated, the maroons returned to the attack witli increased vigor, forcthe New Zealanders back into tbeir 25. Carmichael marked and kicked a goal, which was the first score on their side. New Zealand 17 Queensland 3 Fortified by their success the home team put additional energy into their work, and it was not long after the game resumed that Oxlado got the baii, and, passing to Heslop, the latter whipped over the line, but Carmichael failed to increase tile score. New Zoaland 17 Queensland 6 There were not now many minutes to play, but the home team were making strenuous efforts to relieve the position. On tho ball being kicked oif it went into touch, and from the line-out Brighton succeeded i u crossing the visitors’ line. Carmichael placed a nice goal, and then the game ended with the scores appearing :

New Zealand 17 Queensland 11 A feature of tho game was that Fryer was the only one to score on flic New Zealand side, and had tho place-kicking been up to the usual standard their total would have been much larger.
