Lacrosse Semi-Finalists Decided: Leading Teams Have Easy Victories

The A Grade minor lacrosse round ended on Saturday, when leading teams registered easy victories. In view of the fact that the matches were

not of outstanding importance and : could not affect the premiership table, j several leading players rested after the ! strenuous carnival games, but sides are 'expected to be at full strength for the I semi-finals. The first A grade semi'? final will be played next Saturday. j when East Torrens Cminor premier) i will play Sturt <third>. Brighton I (second) and North Adelaide (fourth) jwill meet the following week. Baniirar Win Harry. K. S Muecke and M. F.

Jenkins with accurate ; pass's and not withstanding good ciearlna fbv Harbison 'the Students' goalkeeper' Aye ! goals were scored. Nicholson with a nice 1 piece of individual piay goaled for Univer-I sitv. *arigh-.on was much superior in the second quarter. The University back men ?' failed to body-check ihe elurii-e Jenkins bro: thers and good combined piay between this j pair aided by James and Horwood saw the Brighton score mount considerebly. Th*? Brighton back and mldfleld players held their I opponents without trouble. At half-time : Brighton led 13 goal to 1. I The game was much more even ln th? : second half. University adopted closer I checking tactics, and the attacks and for| wards displayed considerably more enterprise when ln possession of the ball. Pour ttoal? i were added by the Students.
