Lacrosse lead to E. Torrens
By Point
Lacrosse surprise today was the comfortable defeat of Brighton by Glenelg. East Torrens now become minor premiers.
Gitsham broke through to net
the only goal of the first quar ter, and Haydon (Brighton) evened just before half-time, Glenelg won the game in the third quarter, when Gitsham (2), and Robinson goaled, while Brighton failed to score. In the final quarter, goals from Offler and Robinson put the issue be yond doubt. Edwards goaled on the bell for Brighton, and thus gained first position on the goalthrow Ing list, with a total of 90 goals. Ron Matthewman (East Tor rens) was a goal behind, with 89. East Torrens overwhelmed West Torrens. At half-time the 17-year-old State and West Torrens attack, Nottage, was presented with the Scroop Cup, a trophy donated for the fairest and best player of the club for the season. Port Adelaide defeated Uni versity, but did not display
sufficiently good form to give them a chance in the semi final. East Torrens were also minor premiers in B Grade, and Brighton gained that position in C Grade.
