Although there is no denying Sturt's tenacity and spirit, the side is by no means good enough to win a premiership. It lacks
the material. Against the superior position play and more deliberate football of Glenelg at Glenelg Oval, Sturt looked like a team of enthusiastic beginners and was beaten by 51 points.

Faulty disposal, poor rucks and a weakness in attack kept Sturt trailing throughout. Owing to a lack of adaptability, Toyne had a thankless task in trying to conceal the weak spots in key positions.

In the first quarter Glenelg threatened to turn the game into a rout, and may have done so had it kicked straight. It got only five goals from 16 scoring shots and finished the quarter with six successive behinds to lead by 33 points.

Sturt picked up some leeway when its turn came to kick with the wind, an outscored Glenelg by 4.S to 33 in the second quarter. It got the ball ahead of centre, but was repeatedly driven out by the rugged defenders. When the half-forwards did gain possession, however, they had little idea of giving the ball to Thompson.

Full of confidence, Glenelg continued to dominate the ruck and with a practically impregnable defence, it held an unbeatable lead of 63 points at three-quarter time.

Glenelg — 15 goals 22 behinds (112 points).

Start — 8 goals 13 behinds (61 points).

'''Goalkickers.— '''

<u>Glenelg:</u> Churchett, 5.3; L. Taylor, 3.3: Haussen, 2.3: Brooker, 1.5: Laffin, 1.3: Robjent, 1.2: J. Taylor, 1.l: Boehm, 1.0: Wickham, 0.1; rushed. 0.1. .

<u>Sturt:</u> Shanks, 2.3; Chapman, 2.1: Thompson, Ryan, each 1.2; Schober, Boland, each 1.1; Sanders, 0.1: rushed 0.2.

Years of football have done little to diminish the dash and vigor of Robjent. whose game on the ball and in defence made him Glenelg's best. His ability to make position, pounce on the ball in the open spaces and deliver it to the best advantage was
reminiscent of 'Bull' Reval.

Except for two brief intervals Don Taylor (centre half-back) was unbeatable. Trenorden (centre) was the best man on the ground in the first half and continued in fine form until Giles (the third man sent to oppose him) got on top towards the end of the game.

Laffln was the best follower afield and is a definite State possibility. Others in an even side to do well were Hunt (goal), L. Taylor (centre half-forward), J. Taylor (ruck and defence), Hannaford and Window (defence), Brooker and Haussen (rovers), Churchett (full forward), Crabb (ruck), and Prior (half back, last half).

Although he had less to do than some of his team mates, Fry (half back) accomplished it with great effect, made few mistakes and was Sturt's steadiest player. Kutcher (centre-wing) was on top throughout while best of the others were Ingham (goal),. Bowler (half-back), Boland (rover I, Giles (back pocket and centre), Thomas (centre wing), Sanders I ruck and forward I. Ryan (half
forward), Shanks (rover), and Tilley (centre half-back).

'''Wickham Suspended For Three Matches'''

W. S. Wickham. who played his first league football game for Glenelg last Saturday was last night suspended for three matches by the league commissioners on a charge of having assaulted E. G. Tilley (Sturt).

Field Umpire W. J. Staker, who had charge of the Glenelg-Sturt game, said that during the second quarter Wickham attempted to dodge Tilley, who was standing his mark, but Tilley tackled him around the neck and Wickham fell to the ground. On rising, Wickham spat in
Tilley's face.

In suspending Wickham, the chairman of commissioners (Mr. V. R. Millhouse) said that the incident was a bad one.

'It was a disgusting action for any man to indulge in while playing sport, and one that would not be tolerated in football,' he said.
