BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
The surprise in the "Soccer" games at Middle Park on Saturday was the defeat for the first time this season of N. and D., popularly known us the "all-digger" team. A large crowd assembled, and a fast, well-contested match was witnessed. Although St. Kilda showed all-round superiority, the losers played at some disadvantage, inasmuch as they were without one back (Longthorpe), and Jackson, another back, was sent off the field for an alleged foul during the first half. The final scores were:- 

St. Kilda, 2 goals; N. and D., nil;. the goal-kickers being Beavis and Lowe. For the winners, Spencer (right half), Cameron (centre balf); Church (inside left) Lamb (right back), and Beavis (outside right) were all good. Stephens, the N. and D. centre half, was in fine form.


  • Albert Park (4) beat Preston (2). Goal-kickers-Albert Park: J. Anderson (2). T. Anderson, and Clayton. Preston: Doncaster and Rust.
  • Footscray Thistle (3), St. David's (nil); Goal-kickers-Griffiths 2, Jacobs 1.
  • Windsor (3), MelbourneThistle (nil). Goal-kickers Barrett, Keating, and Grange.
  • Windsor A (2): St. Kilda A (1). Goal-kickers-Windsor A: Nicholson and Read. St. Kilda A: Blundell.
