North Adelaide East Torrens opened with dash, and the North Adelaide defenders were bard pressed. Adcock and Pedler cleared the early attacks of Torrens but Vincent soon goaled after recelTlng from Gellert. Watson followed with an angle goal, and Eymonds also scored. North then attacked, and Cleland goaled from s free. At this stage North was having as much of the play as Its opponents, and J. Lee had several shots, but Graham saved brilliantly In the net. close play In the Torrens forward line eventually resulted In Qellert scoring with a back-hand shot. North replied quickly, and an excellent shot by J. bee caught Graham unprepared. Torrens soon gained the upper hand again, and Hal] and Gellert goaled. Cleland was North Adelaide'a most prominent player* and he reputedly sent the ball In to the forwards, bnt Torrens'* solid back line was too good. At quarter-time East Torrent led 6 goals to 3. Torrens went farther ahead In the second quarter. North made the mlrtftrB of allowing the opposing forwards and attacks to get la too close, and Pedler In goal had no chance of stopping shots from short distance. Mnecfcs rattled the North defence by coming through repeatedly from the back line to create the loose man. This player goaled, and Belth followed with another. The North Adelaide mldfleld players. In falling to take t&e ball dennly. lost many opportunities to feed the forwards when In position, and Torreni had little difficulty in breaking up the red and white attacks. Gellert came with a bunt of three goals before the quarter ended. At half-time the scores were: — East Torrens. 11 goals; North Adelaide. 2 goals. Xwens, who had sustained an arm injury In the second quarter, did not resume after half-time, and Hall stood off for Torrens to even the sides. Torrens overwhelmed Its opponents after the interval. Cleland, Mynetto and Schrader resisted stoutly, bnt the rest of the North team were defeated pointless. Torrens scored seven times In the third term.

while North added a solitary goal from the crosse of Fisher. The last quarter was a repetition of the third. East Torrens increasing its 6COre to 24 goals agains: a total of 3 only by North Adelaide.
