E. Torrens Lead In Lacrosse

Surprise of today's lacrosse — the last series of the minor round — was Start's win over Briahton.

This means that East Torrens are minor premiers, having lost only two games. Brighton have lost three. University as a result of their narrow win against -Glenelg at the .Varsity Oval gained fourth position. The .final four are: — East Torrens, Brighton. Sturt. and University In that order. The semi-finals will be played on September 13. At the Brighton Oval Sturt. after being level at the first changeover, won an exciting game by one goal. Ely. the Sturt goalkeeper, was the best man on the ground, and must be considered unlucky not to have gained a place 1b the carnival side. TJaiversitv gained a *our-to-on.« tead over 'Glenelg by the long interval, and. although Glenelg outscored the opposition In the last two quarters, several badly missed chances resulted In their being one down at the final bell. Ward, the Varsity defender, was the best man on the ground. Results:— A GRADE University. 5; Gleoelr, 4. Goal throwers — University: Harbison (3). Abbott, and Kenlhan.
