The revival of the Rugby Union game in Queensland is making good headway; already Brisbane Grammar School and Nudgee College have announced their intention of going back to the amateur code. - The Grammar School has been a famous nursery of Rugby talent, and in the days before Queensland had a university of its own supplied Sydney Varsity and New South Wales with some of the most brilliant players who ever wore the light-blue jersey. It seems possible that Brisbane University will drop the professional code, and, with Tom Lawton and Dr Nothling helping, the movement gives every promise of the old club organisations springing to life again in the principal centres of Queensland.
